Xcode can't archive project, but build without any problems: "library not found for -lDoubleConversion"

[rnnyrk]

Hi there,

I'm stuck for quite some time now. I can't seem to Archive my project via Xcode. When I do I get the following errors:

The strange thing is that running a Build of the project doesn't give any errors or problems.
I've already tried almost everything I can find on the internet, but like I said; I'm stuck. :(

I'm using react native with a Podfile which looks as following:

platform :ios, '11.0'

target 'Project' do
  pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/'
  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'

  pod 'RNCAsyncStorage', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-community/async-storage'
  pod 'react-native-splash-screen', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-splash-screen'

  post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      targets_to_ignore = %w(React yoga)

      if targets_to_ignore.include? target.name
        target.remove_from_project
      end
    end
  end

  target 'ProjectTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

And this are the linked libraries via Xcode:

The problem seems to be there since I've added the Podfile. I didn't archive for a while, but before I used the Podfile and all Libraries where linked via Xcode there was no problem archiving (but then I experienced issues with adding custom libraries).

React Native version:

Steps To Reproduce

1. cd ios & pod clean & pod install
2. open .xcworkspace
3. Select TEST scheme (with react-native-scheme-manager)
4. Clean build folder with cmd + shift + k
5. Run project on iPhone 8, connected device (no errors)
6. Archive project (error as above)

Furthermore I've also tried different solutions like deleting all libraries via Xcode "Linked Framework and Libraries" and manually adding them via Pods like in this issue: #20492

Because it is only on Archiving I'm thinking it has something to do with minifying. Is this even possible? Or any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help!

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.60 and verify if the issue still exists.

The "Resolution: Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running `react-native info` on a project using the latest release.

I have the same issue, I was using version 0.57.0, and after upgrading to version 0.60.4, I get this problem "library not found for -lDoubleConversion".

Already wasted 2 days trying to solve it, building an app from scratch results in the same exact issue... Any ideas?

[rnnyrk]

My project was being build by using Cocoapods 1.7.3. The issue is resolved by upgrading to 1.7.5! You can update by running sudo gem install cocoapods

My solution was to remove the DoubleConversion library that was being added from node_modules and instead use Cocoapods if anyone wondering.

DM for more details.

I had tried literally everything suggested by the awesome community. I had been emailing with @jose-verissimo and he was extremely helpful.

The solution for me was to create an empty Swift file through Xcode and let Xcode create a Bridging-header.h file. The key was to not delete the Swift file after Xcode creating the bridging header file.
