[🐛] 'FirebaseCoreExtension/FIRLibrary.h' file not found

I updated my reac-native-firebase version to 15.0.0
Later I didn't start my project.

Hmm, something's not right.

I don't know about this bit:

  $static_framework = [
    'CocoaAsyncSocket', 'ComponentKit',
    'CocoaLibEvent', 'OpenSSL-Universal', 'boost-for-react-native',
    'RNFBApp', 'RNFBAuth', 'RNFBFirestore', 'RNFBStorage', 'RNFBDatabase',
    'RNFBDynamicLinks', 'RNFBPerf', 'RNFBAnalytics', 'RNFBCrashlytics',
    'Permission-Camera', 'Permission-PhotoLibrary', 'Permission-PhotoLibraryAddOnly',
    'Permission-LocationAlways',
    'RNPermissions']

  pre_install do |installer|
    Pod::Installer::Xcode::TargetValidator.send(:define_method, :verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies) {}

Looks like a workaround we haven't verified. That's not how I developed the new version.

Rip all that out, just do use_frameworks!, see how it goes ?

Make sure this is there? https://rnfirebase.io/#allow-ios-static-frameworks ($RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true in your Podfile, then reinstall pods)

Additionally, you've purged out all sorts of other useful info like, for instance, what version of react-native are you on? What version of macOS / Xcode?

I just updated my demo script to verify this all can work and it works for me with the appropriate static frameworks updates: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/main/make-demo.sh

[mikehardy]

All I can say is I have a fully scripted demo with comments on what each step is doing, and you can run it and it works - the make-demo.sh script

Please try it to make sure it works - somewhere in the difference between what it does and your project is the difference, but I'd like to see if the demo works in your environment, then you can start looking for differences? There must be something different in the Podfile from the demo and your project. Versions seem okay, I don't think react-native 0.67 vs 0.68 will matter though that is a difference

[enchorb]

Also had this issue and had to downgrade back to 14.11.0 got it after attempting the workarounds in facebook/react-native#32451

[mikehardy]

Does https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/main/make-demo.sh work for you in your environment @enchorb ?

[mikehardy]

Incidentally - @enchorb hermes will not work until this is released: facebook/react-native#34030 (comment) - which will likely be react-native 0.69.1 (note: 0.69.0 is not out yet but it's closed for pick requests now and this hermes fix literally just merged a few minutes ago)

Right now for react-native-firebase v15 you need react-native 0.68.2 or lower, hermes off, flipper off, and not the react native new architecture. The changelog mentions the same along with some links for more details on progress removing those restrictions.

[update - I've got a patch for react-native 0.69.0 that lets it work, with hermes even, just no flipper or new architecture: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/main/patches/react-native%2B0.69.0.patch ]

[Fawxy]

I had the same issue in my project, and I have just run the make-demo script and it's the same issue.

Here's what make-demo results in, compare and constrast, perhaps modify your Podfile to look like it?

[mikehardy]

@KubilayKerim how did it go when you actually ran https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/main/make-demo.sh in your environment ? I cannot troubleshoot specific projects as there are an infinite variety of ways people can do things that fail. So I offer that script which builds things from scratch and allows us to make solid assumptions about what is actually in the project (since it's constructed in a fully automated way)

[FelipeLimaDeSouza]

Also had this issue and had to downgrade back to 14.11.0 got it after attempting the workarounds in facebook/react-native#32451

It's working for me. Tks

@mikehardy rollback version to 14.11.0 is working for me
