Can't run tvOS target for newly generated RN project

[vrudikov]

Description

Basic iOS target runs successfully
I've created basic RN project with the help of react-native-cli and tried to run tvOS target, but got the following issue:

AppleTvSample/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/jschelpers/Value.cpp:3:10: 'folly/json.h' file not found

!!!RNTester application fails for the tvOS target too with the error above

Reproduction Steps

> react-native init sample_program
> cd sample_program
> open ios/sample_program.xcodeproj
> change Run Target to tvOS. Run it

Sample Code

AppleTvSample

Solution

Can't say for sure, because i'm not so familiar with XCode and Objective-C

@vrudikov, @speedandfunction-anri, @speedandfunction-helen, @knot123 hi guys.

it's confusing as hell but creating and ejecting an app with create-react-native-app resolved this one for me.

• npm i create-react-native-app -g
• create-react-native-app MyAwesomeProject
• cd MyAwesomeProject
• npm run eject

lulz 😅

[vrudikov]

@altayaydemir Cool! Thanks for sharing!

[miladebadi]

@altayaydemir I tried but same error appears.

'folly/json.h' file not found

[ndcollins]

@knot123 @altayaydemir I also get the same error that 'folly/json.h' file not found.

[vrudikov]

@ndcollins @knot123 Hi, all. It works for me. Guys, please post your environment specs as I did above

[ndcollins]

@vrudikov Identical environment from what I can tell

react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.45.1
Platform: tvOS
Development Operating System: macOS 10.12.5
Build tools: Xcode 8.3.3 (8E3004b)
Yarn: 0.24.6
Node: 6.10.1
NPM: 4.6.1

[altaywtf]

well, hello again. #14613 (comment) is worked for me once. but doesn't work now 🤔

I guess that is a

double lulz 😅

situation

[vrudikov]

Strange, but yes. Stopped working for me too. What i see is that there some difference between jschelpers and jschelpers-tvOS targets. But can't understand what is that difference. Both projects share the same Target Dependency: third-party(React)

[vrudikov]

So here is the difference between working project(right) and failing(left)
As all collaborators here both times i just used altayaydemir workaround

[joduss]

Any news? I'm having the same issue

react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.45.1
Build tools: Xcode 8.3.3
NPM: 4.6.1
Yarn: 0.27.5
Development Operating System: 10.12.5

[joduss]

I created the projet by mistake in /usr/local/Cellar/node/8.1.3/bin/ and it is working. Certainly something to do with permissions.

[calebsmithdev]

@joduss could you provide more information on what you did? I am having the same issue, but my folder is within my user library, so I feel like i shouldn't have any permission issues.

[joduss]

I tried to remove node, yarn etc nothing changed. Until I did the react-native init in the folder I mentioned above.
So it could weird permissions or something not supported in the path. I didn't try in other locations.

in my case, it 'folly/dynamic.h' that is missing, brand new project:
I've also ejected to project, yarn eject

create-react-native-app version: 0.0.6
react-native: ^0.45.1

---

Update: After having successfully built the iPhone app, now I get the same error:
'folly/json.h' file not found

Also, I'm building the app from xcode directly

[ndcollins]

This issue appears to now be resolved. Now if you run react-native init the project is generated using react-native 0.46.4 in which this issue appears to be fully resolved.

[calebsmithdev]

Can confirm - updated to the lasest version of react-native and I am good to go.

[Maxwell2022]

humm, I just realised that the documented way to start a project (ie. create-react-native-app) is using expo, and expo is not using the latest version of RN by default.

Really annoying...
