Fresh install - build fails on M1 Mac

[setharell]

Description

If I try build a fresh RN app for iOS, I get linking errors.

Expected Results

The app should build and run on the iOS emulator

Did you find any solution ? Facing same issue.

[rampellisrinu]

Having same issue after updating macOS (11.3 (20E232)) on M1. My project was working fine before update and now am seeing lots of these error while building app for iOS and not able to run it.

The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 9.0 to 14.5.99. (in target 'Flipper-Glog' from project 'Pods').

Have tried all solutions like these CocoaPods/CocoaPods#9884 but no luck.

I ended up getting my app to build by using Rosetta2 for everything. I opened the terminal using Rosetta2, deleted the node_modules directory, deleted Pods directory, deleted podfile.lock. Then ran npm install and pod install using the Rosetta2 terminal. Once I did that, npx react-native run-ios builds successfully. I should mention that when I tried to build using Flipper, the build failed. When I remove use_flipper!() from my Podfile, that's when my build succeeded.

I guess that software packages still haven't caught up to be compatible with M1 chips, so for now Rosetta2 is the solution.

[rampellisrinu]

Thank you so much for the help, I have managed to run the app with above steps. I have tried the same steps before but the order was a bit different. Steps I followed to fix the problem.

• Delete node_modules
• Delete Podfile.lock and Pods/ folder
• update Pod file and comment use_flipper() #use_flipper!()
• Install node dependencies with npm install
• Install pod dependencies with pod install in ios folder.

it worked.

[VadimDyliko]

Yeah, facing the same issue. Commenting use_flipper!() solved that issue, but it's not a solution. I like to use flipper :)

[Helyios]

Facing the same issue, I hope it get resolved soon because don't really want to do without flipper...

I was able to run the project by commenting the use_flipper line in the Podfile and also by removing the Library Search Paths in the project, I don't know how It could impact deleting those properties but for now the project is running without any issues and the linking warnings are completely gone.

[tintheanh]

^ Facing the same issue (already commented use_flipper()), My guess is maybe it's because of XCode 12.5

[JosePBrotons]

@tintheanh Try removing the LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS from the Xcode project. After that I will run in M1 Macs.

I also experienced same issue before. But, Now i can compile and build react native run-ios sucessfully.
I already resume and create guide article on how to run react native iOS Macbook with M1 Chip.

Quick step:

• set terminal to use Rosetta
• set XCode to use Rosetta
• small adjust on podFile if you have problem with react native flipper.

[tintheanh]

Running XCode in Rosetta now solves the issue for me

[joeyfigaro]

@tintheanh How did you manage to do this? I've seen this suggested in a few different spots, but the option for rosetta never shows up for me in the info for XCode.

Nope, turns out I was looking at the info for a random xcodeproj 🤦🏻 – been a long day.

This article solved my all issues that occurred in my macbook uses m1 chip, thanks a lot
