To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Podfile in example app -> example/ios/Podfile
2. Add use_frameworks! :linkage => :static inside target 'example' do block in starting.
3. Run pod install
4. Build in xcode.

Expected behavior

Should build successfully.

Screenshots

Additional context

Working fine if not using use_frameworks! :linkage => :static

@16thomas Thank you for posting your issue.
Could you please confirm and let us know your StarXpand SDK or react-native-star-io10 version?

We have added support for use_frameworks in 1.6.0, so it would be very helpful if you could first tell us what version of the sample you are using.

Thank you in advance.

[16thomas]

@bandit-ibayashi Thanks for looking into the issue.

react-native-star-io10 version is 1.7.0,
I know you guys have added the support for use_frameworks in 1.6.0, and that was working fine till XCode 15, but it stopped working in XCode 16.

It still builds fine with XCode 15. But not building on XCode 16.

[bandit-ibayashi]

@16thomas Thank you for letting us know the version of react-native-star-io10. We will investigate in more detail.
Thank you for your patience.

[lukhol]

+1. I have the same errors on 1.7.0 version of the library when building with xcode 16. Do you have an estimated timeframe for when the issue will be resolved?

[can-miki]

@16thomas @lukhol
Thank you for your cooperation.
Based on our research, the build error can be avoided by upgrading the react-native library and manually resolving the build error.

• Procedure to reproduce the error

1. Add use_frameworks! :linkage => :static to target 'example' do in the Podfile.
2. Comment out line 37 according to the comment.
   ⇒The build was successful in Xcode 15.4, but failed in Xcode 16.0.
   

• Workaround
  Use React-native version 0.75.4 (latest).
  Manually fix the build error in the ReactNative header file (assert.h) shown below that occurs when you set use_frameworks! :linkage => :static .
  Specifically, comment out line 13 in assert.h, and also comment out the } that corresponds to {
  
  Test environment: StarIO10 (V1.7.0) + Xcode16.0 + ReactNative (Ver0.75.4)

[16thomas]

@can-miki I'm not able to find this assert.h file. Can you please help me with the path or full screenshot?

[bandit-ibayashi]

@16thomas Thank you for your confirmation. I found there are some environments where this error does not occur.

So could you first try the version of React Native used, 0.75.4, and see if build errors occur?
If the same error occurs, you can probably refer to the relevant file from the error.

In my confirmation, I used our example SDK version 1.7.0.
I have added use_frameworks! :linkage => :static to line 30 of the Podfile.
In line with the addition of this setting, lines 20 and 38 regarding Flipper have been commented out.

# flipper_config = ENV['NO_FLIPPER'] == "1" ? FlipperConfiguration.disabled : FlipperConfiguration.enabled
# :flipper_configuration => flipper_config,

Then change ‘react-native’ in dependencies in package.json to ‘0.75.4’, and also make other libraries up-to-date. See the following image for details.

After following the Usage instructions and executing the necessary commands, the project in the iOS folder was run and built in Xcode 16.
No errors occurred during this procedure.

Thank you in advance.

[16thomas]

@bandit-ibayashi The build is still failing for me on react-native 0.75.4 and react-native-star-io10 1.7.0. And the build only fails react-native-star-io10.

[bandit-ibayashi]

Thank you for letting us know your situation.

These errors did not occur in our environment, so I assume there is some difference.

The results of the npx react-native info command execution show that there are differences between the macOS version and the CPU.
It is not yet clear whether this is relevant to the present results, but we would like to start our investigation from this point.

Thanks @bandit-ibayashi, waiting for some resolution.

[Axenu]

Is there any update on this? I was just upgrading our app to RN 0.75.4 and encountered the same problem.

Podfile:

# Resolve react_native_pods.rb with node to allow for hoisting
require Pod::Executable.execute_command('node', ['-p',
  'require.resolve(
    "react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb",
    {paths: [process.argv[1]]},
  )', __dir__]).strip

platform :ios, '15.6'
prepare_react_native_project!

linkage = ENV['USE_FRAMEWORKS']
if linkage != nil
  Pod::UI.puts "Configuring Pod with #{linkage}ally linked Frameworks".green
  use_frameworks! :linkage => linkage.to_sym
end

target 'targetName' do
  permissions_path = '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/ios'
  pod 'Permission-Camera', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Camera"
  pod 'Permission-PhotoLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/PhotoLibrary"
  pod 'Permission-PhotoLibraryAddOnly', :path => "#{permissions_path}/PhotoLibraryAddOnly"

  config = use_native_modules!

  use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
  $RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true

  use_react_native!(
    :path => config[:reactNativePath],
    # to enable hermes on iOS, change `false` to `true` and then install pods
    :app_path => "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/.."
  )


  post_install do |installer| 
    react_native_post_install(
      installer,
      config[:reactNativePath],
      :mac_catalyst_enabled => false,
    )
  end

end

Any updates on this? Unfortunately, this issue prevents us from updating the app, which is crucial.

@bandit-ibayashi

Minimal reproduction steps:

1. Run npx react-native init StarIssue to create a new React Native project.
2. In the Podfile, add use_frameworks! :linkage => :static below config = use_native_modules!.
3. Install the react-native-star-io10 package by running yarn add react-native-star-io10.
4. Open the project in Xcode, attempt to build, and observe the errors.

Once again npx react-native info in the project directory
