Problem:

1. integration react-native with Existing Apps like doc
   (tip:This method uses cocoapods to integrate react)
2. increase a third party module, example react-native-qq, a third party module don't support cocoapods
3. so, i have to drop the RCTQQAPI.xcodeproj into my project like this
4. now, build it. i'll get a wrong. 'React/RCTViewManager.h' file not found
   (tip: this wrong target in react-native-qq)

so who can tell me how to resolve it. i want to enjoy to manager my react-native by cocoapods.
i don't want to drop the react.xcodeproj to my project

package.json:

{
"name": "react-native-template",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start"
},
"dependencies": {
"react": "^16.5.0",
"react-native": "^0.57.1",
"react-native-qq": "^2.0.5",
}
}

Podfile:

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'react-native-template' do
pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => [
'Core',
'CxxBridge', # Include this for RN >= 0.47
'DevSupport', # Include this to enable In-App Devmenu if RN >= 0.43
'RCTText',
'RCTNetwork',
'RCTWebSocket', # needed for debugging
]
pod 'yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'
pod 'DoubleConversion', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/DoubleConversion.podspec'
pod 'glog', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/glog.podspec'
pod 'Folly', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/Folly.podspec'
end

Template:

i provide a template to help u reproduce the problem. (https://github.com/EternalChildren/react-native-template)
because the module above needs some extrate configs. So i use a third party module named react-native-linear-gradient. I know it support pods. but i want to use it by the way in this demo

1. clone the demo
2. into the dir and npm install it
3. then cd ios/ && pod install
4. now it can reproduce the problem when u build it.

This problem has plagued me for many days. well i need help!

Thank you !!

We are using GitHub issues exclusively to track bugs in React Native. GitHub may not be the ideal place to ask a question, but you can try asking over on Stack Overflow, or on Reactiflux. You may also use discuss.reactjs.org/ to discuss best practices.

@hramos i am also getting following error

'React/RCTBridge.h' file not found

after using https://github.com/prscX/react-native-file-selector as dependency, as it does not support pods integration i am unable to get it working.
So kindly mention anything that we need to do for third party libs that do not support pods integration.

@EternalChildren Just remove the Linear gradient package from your project by using remove reference only option.
Then run

react-native link
cd ios
pod install

Hopefully it will run.

Anyone wondering for third party dependency that do not support pods and you are using react from pods than add following line to that third party header search paths in build settings.
$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios
