Can't make this work in iOS

[renanpupin]

Can we have a detailed documentation to explain how to setup AgoraIO-RNSDK?
I tried to install the iOS SDK at my project following the instructions and it did not work.
Also I tried to clone the repository and compile with the AgoraRtcEngineKit.framework but got some errors.
.../React-Native-SDK/node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.4/src/base/mutex.h:105:10: 'config.h' file not found.

I would appreciate if someone can help.

Thanks!

I have same problem after I update xcode 10. But this issue can workaround. First remove old "React-Native-SDK/node_modules" . after you can cd to "React-Native-SDK/node_modules/react-native/scripts", and run "./ios-install-third-party.sh" to replace "npm install". Finally, use xcode run sample app.

It seems to be not the right solution, but a workaround.
I would like to ask if Agora.io team have plans to support react-native in the right way, because our team is using another third-party library to make videocalls but we pretend to migrate to Agora.io library.
Also I can suggest the right way to provide native libraries to react-native described by the React-native core team at this link.

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries-ios

Thanks.

Anyway would be nice if we have a sample project with basic configurations.

@CavanSu if I remove"node_modules" I can't access "React-Native-SDK/node_modules/react-native/scripts"

[CavanSu]

sorry, i forget this step that you need to "nmp install" again after you remove old "React-Native-SDK/node_modules".

Whole steps:

1. remove old "React-Native-SDK/node_modules"
2. nmp install
3. cd to "React-Native-SDK/node_modules/react-native/scripts", and run "./ios-install-third-party.sh"
4. use xcode run sample app

[renanpupin]

Still not working. :(
@CavanSu could you please create an example with the integrated SDK that I can clone and just test?
Thanks.

@renanpupin thanks for the post. upgrade react-native lib version to 0.56.0 makes it work for me. if you want to keep current version, you may read the top rated post in this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50836558/react-native-config-h-not-found to manually make install the config.h file.

[renanpupin]

Can't make this work on 0.56.

Again, I suggest the right way to provide native libraries to react-native described by the React-native core team at this links.

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/native-modules-setup
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries-ios

Can we have a sample app with everything configurated and the binaries provided as a RN library?

@renanpupin I'm sorry but there's no recent plans to make big changes to this repo.
if you would like to do similar things like react-native link xxx, you may take a look at this repo. https://github.com/syanbo/react-native-agora i believe they are already doing things in the native way as you described.

@renanpupin if you can also try this workaround.

hope this helps you fix your problem.

Can you at least update the documentation to reflect the actual steps involved to use this SDK with an iOS project? Otherwise, I would dumpster fire this repo.

[plutoless]

@daino3 i'm sorry for the inconvenience caused. we are preparing a new version of our RN sdk already. Together we will take in your advice and provide how to integrate with existing project guide. This should be available within this week.

[daino3]

@plutoless - sorry, my response was a little dramatic. I would just love some better documentation on integrating the SDK within a project.

[plutoless]

hi @daino3 , we have published the new version to npm
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-agora
And we have this quickstart guide designed for this npm version.
https://github.com/AgoraIO-Community/Agora-RN-Quickstart

Note the sample run guideline still refers to setting up a new project. But integrating within existing project is most likely the same, 1. npm install 2. react-native link 3. run pod install and react-native run-xx.
We are still arranging the docs to integrate from existing project, and we will publish it as soon as it's done.
