Branch.h - iOS build doesn't work #642

adrenaline15 · 2020-03-23T14:17:49Z

The issue was happening in my end due to opening the project not the workspace in Xcode.

It is fixed now!

You are absolutely right, if I'm opening the workspace (since the pods/dependent stuff get also imported via xcodeworkspace-file) in xcode I can build the project successfully; but thats not a suitable solution for me..

I would like to automate the building process without any necessary GUI-interaction. (aka via CLI)

felipeclopes · 2020-04-02T16:45:23Z

Our process is fully automated, the only steps we do have in our CI, is to make sure we have an updated enough pods gem and pods. The CI run pod repo update and pod install on the platform specific folder, before building it.

I have the same issue with version 4.1.3 and ionic 3 when building for IOS.
I can build using xcode and that is fine but I can't use ionic run with livereload because the build error kill the live reload server. This is slowing down the our development process a lot.
Can't even go back to plugin 3X due to the UIWebView and apple rejection problem (ITMS-90809).
Is this going to be fixed in a new release or is there a workaround?
Thanks

I am facing the same problem using ionic 4. I also cannot go back to version 3.x of the plugin for the same reason as the depreciation of the UIWebView usage. I'm waiting for a correction.

SidiBecker · 2020-05-24T02:24:34Z

Hello. I found a solution for this error. I'm using Ionic 4.x and Xcode 11.4.1.

I removed the plugins folder:
rm -rf plugins/

I installed/updated the following versions:
npm i @ionic-cli@latest

ionic cordova plugin rm branch-cordova-sdk
ionic cordova plugin add branch-cordova-sdk@4.1.3
npm i @ionic-native/branch-io@5.26.0

ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-open-native-settings
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-open-native-settings@1.5.2
npm i @ionic-native/open-native-settings@5.26.0

I reinstalled the ios platform:
ionic cordova platform rm ios
ionic cordova platform add ios@5.1.1

Before executing the build command, I did the following procedures:

I opened the .xcworkspace file on platforms/ios/ folder;
I opened the "Build Settings" tab;
I searched for "Header Search Paths" and added the following paths in debug and release configuration:
"${PODS_ROOT}/Branch/Branch-SDK/Branch-SDK"
"${PODS_ROOT}/Branch/Branch-SDK/Branch-SDK/Networking"

With these procedures the build is successful and I no longer have the issue ITMS-90809 (UIWebView usage) when uploading my application. Hope this helps.

Works for me! Thanks!

Sroose · 2020-05-26T11:05:04Z

Thanks @SidiBecker !
Actually the search headers are the only thing we needed to get this working.

I've created a hook which can be added to your Ionic project which will fix (workaround) the issue by adding these 2 header search paths automatically:
https://gist.github.com/Sroose/d3db4178babbab1b39b68e9889e7869b

@ Branch team, I think this should be fixed in the Pod?

SidiBecker · 2020-05-26T11:49:23Z

Wonderful automation @Sroose. Thanks!

noahcooper · 2020-06-25T20:56:35Z

Any update from the Branch team? I'm stuck on v3.4.0 because of this issue

jffs · 2020-06-26T13:06:41Z

any news?

adrianyg7 · 2020-06-29T19:51:13Z

Hey @adrenaline15 and @felipeclopes please refer to #604 (comment)

I have tried to reproduce this issue with a fresh ionic install but it's building and running fine.
Branch is usually the first plugin and/or Pod. I quote the following text from the same issue linked above

any build error in any pod will also cause it (because Branch is usually the first Pod, so it will come first alphabetically after the main project attempts to resolve Pod dependencies)

If you still have the same issue after this, please provide a minimal reproducible case.

noahcooper · 2020-07-01T04:35:12Z

This can be reproduced by using branch-cordova-sdk along with cordova-plugin-facebook4 (as in the original description provided by @adrenaline15). If cordova-plugin-facebook4 is not included, the build succeeds.

jffs · 2020-07-01T23:55:19Z

how we can fix it if have to use facebook plugin?

adrianyg7 · 2020-07-06T23:41:27Z

Here is a PR that will help with this #660 while this gets merged and released you can add the hook @Sroose shared above. (Thanks @sysmo-dsv for the contribution)

Please note that some plugins still use the old CocoaPods way to resolve config dirs or other obscure ways that modify CocoaPods config causing other plugins to fail, since Branch is usually the first pod alphabetically, it'll show up as the error when attempting to build the main project.

noahcooper · 2020-08-16T15:17:12Z

Branch team, any thoughts on when the fix for this will be released?

echo-branch · 2020-08-17T15:27:54Z

Sorry for the delay. There's some iOS 14 related work that we'd like to include with the next release and choose to delay a bit.

noahcooper · 2020-08-30T01:48:37Z

Version 4.2.0 of this plugin still fails when cordova-plugin-facebook4 is used.

gopi-hl · 2020-08-31T09:14:02Z

@echo-branch : We are not able to build an iOS build when we use your plugin. This is a work stoppage. Any ideas when this will get released - I am talking about the Branch.h file not found error

mvaullerin · 2020-09-01T07:51:52Z

We still have issues building our app with the 4.2.0 :

[...]/branch-cordova-sdk/BranchSDK.m normal arm64 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler
[cordova] (1 failure)
[cordova] xcodebuild: Command failed with exit code 65

It seems there is a conflict with cordova-plugin-googleplus: 8.5.0

noahcooper · 2020-09-01T13:53:41Z

Any update from the Branch team? Version 4 of this plugin has been broken for 6 months now. With upcoming iOS changes, it'll be important for all developers to move off of version 3.

noahcooper · 2020-09-14T13:46:15Z

Anything?

echo-branch · 2020-09-14T16:00:41Z

@noahcooper
We believe the issue is plugin compatibility.

We have a potential fix on staging, which is waiting on an iOS patch release. You could try pointing there to see if it resolves the issue.

It would be pretty helpful if you could share what other 3rd party plugins you're using.

noahcooper · 2020-09-14T17:07:45Z

@echo-branch I'm encountering this issue when using this plugin with the cordova-plugin-facebook4 plugin.

noahcooper · 2020-11-06T01:25:19Z

Any chance of a release of this plugin sometime soon with the fix for this issue?

echo-branch · 2020-11-06T19:21:14Z

@noahcooper sorry about that, i totally dropped the ball on this patch release. Getting it out now.

noahcooper · 2020-11-07T03:05:35Z

Yay, my build is working again. Thanks, Branch team!

tamsel12 · 2021-02-13T11:39:23Z

No it is not working for me. Still getting the same issue while build the app
