I'm getting this error whenever i try to build the app, it was working fine on 0.57.3, but after upgrading to the latest version (0.60.4), I started getting this error.

Is there any update here? I want to upgrade to the latest version but not able to do so due to this issue, can anyone help with that please? any workaround?

I am facing the same issue... any fix yet?

[sebastian-sanchez-variv]

@diegolmello are you getting any warning after running pod install? I was getting following warning:

[!] The [Release]target overrides theALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIESbuild setting defined in<.xcconfig location>'. This can lead to problems with the CocoaPods installation
- Use the $(inherited) flag, or
- Remove the build settings from the target.`

Solved it by adding:

post_install do |installer_representation| installer_representation.pods_project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES'] = '$(inherited)' end end end

to my podfile just before

use_native_modules!

[djorkaeffalexandre]

Hi @mahmoudfelfel and @sebastian-sanchez-variv !
You need to add use_native_modules! to both targets (App & Share Extension) and add it to your podfile:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['APPLICATION_EXTENSION_API_ONLY'] = 'NO'
    end
  end
end

Below should also work with share extensions. So you don't have to copy/paste the react pods twice. It's just easier to maintain:

target 'RocketChatRN' do
  # react pods

  use_native_modules!

  target 'ShareRocketChatRN' do
    use_native_modules!
    inherit! :complete
  end
end

And have $(inherited) with non-recursive on both the main target and extension target in Header Search Paths.

For Linking i've also added $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/LinkingIOS with recursive in the Header Search Path

[jeanlambert17]

Hi @mahmoudfelfel and @sebastian-sanchez-variv !
You need to add use_native_modules! to both targets (App & Share Extension) and add it to your podfile:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['APPLICATION_EXTENSION_API_ONLY'] = 'NO'
    end
  end
end

Can you explain this? Plsss

[ericlewis]

One workaround is to set this flag to false in your extension's build settings.

[djorkaeffalexandre]

@Jnlbr this code set Require Only App-Extension-Safe API to false on all Pod dependencies.

[batai278]

@djorkaeffalexandre It does not work for me. I am trying to use OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension set up according to manual https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/ios-sdk-setup.
When I use your solution I get another pack of errors (200+) about Mach-O Linker

[fancydevpro]

@batai278 I got same errors when I used react-native-share-extension. Did you solved it?
I'm using react-native 0.61.2.
