Native Module cannot be null - React Native 0.44

[arminsal1]

I upgraded to React Native 0.44, and reinstalled this library following the manual method in the docs (the automatic method was giving me problems), and now the app builds and runs from Xcode, but I get this error when importing it:

[Salakar]

Follow the manual ios setup docs on this repos documentation - you're missing rnfirebase being included

[DavidKuennen]

Was having the same problem when integrating in iOS and as @Salakar already mentioned, I missed including it into my project. 😜

[arminsal1]

I followed the manual documentation and I'm not sure what I'm missing. Adding it to the app by right-clicking the Libraries folder in xcode and selecting 'Add Files to "App"...' is how you include it, right? Cause I did that and added the RNFirebase.xcodeproj. Then I checked to make sure it had all of the correct header search paths

I even tried linking libRNFirebase.a in the Link Binary with Libraries section of Build Phases, and nothing changed.

All of the Firebase pods are also installed and the AppDelegate.m has all of the required code

[Salakar]

You need to add it to your podfile, like this oe: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase-tests/blob/master/ios/Podfile#L39

[arminsal1]

Added the line to the podfile and ran pod install, now I'm getting these errors 😩

^^^ same here

[Salakar]

Am looking into this now

[Salakar]

Can confirm this definitely works, are you guys doing anything different than what the install docs suggest?

@Salakar my steps look like this...

• Install from NPM
• React-native link
• build failure (as original post)
• update Podfile as above (+ pod update)
• build failure (bridge module error)

[arminsal1]

@Salakar I just tried unlinking, removing the podfile, npm uninstalling, cleaning the Xcode project, and going through the installation again, and unfortunately I'm getting the same error.

After exploring the project more, I noticed that the RNFirebase.Framework's Headers folder was empty. Could this be the issue?

UPDATE: I tried adding the header files in the RNFirebase folder to the RNFirebase.Framework Headers folder, and it didn't make a difference.

I'm also experiencing this issue, haven't found a work around yet. Any updates appreicated!

Tried removing the FirebaseAnalytics import and found FirebaseCore not found too.

@grylance @jackread @arminsal1 out of interest what's your xcode versions?

[arminsal1]

@Salakar I'm running version 8.3.2 (8E2002)

[Salakar]

Hmm i just upgraded to 8.3.2 just now and tried again and it was fine, weird this.

Either of you got screen sharing software? I can take a look then and debug it.

Can you also both show me your podfiles. @grylance @arminsal1
