@StevePotter just tagging you on this issue (which is the same as #539) so that you can track it here! We are currently swamped, but I'll try to get onto this next week.

I got the same issue when I run 'rnpm link react-native-code-push'. My ReactNative is 0.25.0, and CodePush is 1.11.0-beta.

[StevePotter]

Thanks. It's a minor thing considering it was basically a noop.

[richardhuaaa]

@StevePotter, @ljunb, @snowjade - I'm investigating this now and would love any information you could give about your setup. What is happening is that the linking script is looking for an Info.plist in the same directory as your AppDelegate.m, and failing. Do you happen to have multiple AppDelegate.m files, or anything else unusual about your setup?

For reference, here is the offending code:

var appDelegatePath = glob.sync("**/AppDelegate.m", ignoreNodeModules)[0];
// Glob only allows foward slashes in patterns: https://www.npmjs.com/package/glob#windows
var plistPath = glob.sync(path.join(path.dirname(appDelegatePath), "*Info.plist").replace(/\\/g, "/"), ignoreNodeModules)[0];

var appDelegateContents = fs.readFileSync(appDelegatePath, "utf8");
var plistContents = fs.readFileSync(plistPath, "utf8");

throw new Error(Error occured during executing "${ command }" command);

I'm a react native npm package author, also issue. Kennytian/react-native-instabug#14.

@Silhouettes Please tell me what to fix this issue

[robclouth]

I'm having the same problem, and it's because my AppDelegate is a .mm file not .m, due it using some C++ stuff.

[matrosov-nikita]

@snowjade, @ljunb, @StevePotter, it seems that Info.plist and AppDelegate.m aren't in the same folder.
I've sent PR (#639), that improves searching for Info.plist and AppDelegate.
@robclouth, also this PR adds opportunity to work with AppDelegate.mm files.
Guys, could you please check whether it works for you?

[Ge-yuan-jun]

@Silhouettes Do CodePush need the ios folder ? I find the AppDelegate.m file is only in the ios folder. But my app is integrated with Android, so I cannot use codePush? Appreciate your reply~
