'TSBackgroundFetch/TSBackgroundFetch.h' file not found

[nene]

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 3.3.2
• Platform: iOS
• OS version: MacOS 10.15.1
• Device manufacturer / model: Apple
• React Native version: 0.61.4
• Plugin config: Don't think it matters

Expected Behavior

Able to build without errors.

Actual Behavior

Build fails with error:

..../node_modules/react-native-background-fetch/ios/RNBackgroundFetch/RNBackgroundFetch+AppDelegate.m:11:9: fatal error: 'TSBackgroundFetch/TSBackgroundFetch.h' file not found
#import <TSBackgroundFetch/TSBackgroundFetch.h>

Steps to Reproduce & Context

I was upgrading my app from react-native 0.59.9 to 0.61.4

Followed the steps in https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation/blob/master/help/INSTALL-IOS-AUTO.md

Although I'm confused about the addition of RNBackgroundFetch+AppDelegate.m file. When I looked into adding it, I discovered that the file was already there. I removed and re-added it, but the error remained the same.

Found some other issues with the same title, tried to follow the devide suggested there:

• made sure I've run pod install in /ios dir.

but no success. I've also checked that:

• I've run yarn add react-native-background-geolocation and yarn add react-native-background-fetch
• The build fails both when executed from command line (react-native run-ios) or through Xcode.

Debug logs

I suspect logs will only matter after I get the app running? Or would you like to see the full log of a build?

$ cd ios
$ pod install

[nene]

I've done this several times already. But doesn't help.

[christocracy]

Terminate XCode and restart.

[nene]

Restarted Xcode. But build still fails.

[christocracy]

Don't know. Uninstall both plugins and re-install.

[nene]

OK. I'll give it a try...

[nene]

Nope. Still fails exactly as before. :(

[christocracy]

$ cd ios
$ rm -rf Pods
$ rm Podfile.lock
$ pod install

[mikehardy]

My magic trick for these is npx react-native-clean-project clean-project-auto

It's the full wipe...

[nene]

So... I uninstalled the libs again.

But now after uninstalling I noticed that this RNBackgroundFetch+AppDelegate.m file and the .framework file are still handing around in Xcode. So I removed them from there manually.

After reinstalling the libs, it's now successfully building.

I didn't re-add the RNBackgroundFetch+AppDelegate.m file after installing as the installation guide is suggesting. Not sure if I should worry about this or not? (Perhaps it means that I'm simply no more actually including this lib to my project - no code, no errors).

But at least it's building now. Can't yet say if it's fully working as now I have some other errors from other libs to sort out on my way of upgrading react-native.

But thanks for all the help.

[nene]

Yep. Looks like the lib is not only compiling but working as well. All good then.

To resolve this on react-native 0.61 i had to also manually run yarn install react-native-background-fetch

[christocracy]

@bolandrm thats precisely what the iOS Setup directs you to do, no?

[bolandrm]

Ah yes, I missed that.

[RishavGoswami]

I was stuck on this error for two days straight, tried everything that's been told but nothing worked until I realize to check my Xcode version. Turned out, I had Xcode v10. Just make sure before doing any other things, you have Xcode v11.5 and above. Then

cd ios
rm -rf Pods
rm -rf Podfile.lock
pod install

[christocracy]

Always use latest XCode.

@bolandrm thats precisely what the iOS Setup directs you to do, no?

@christocracy I missed this part too. I think the formatting of that doc could be improved slightly so that it's clear on first glance that there are 2 packages to install. Maybe add a line after the first install command (both Yarn and NPM) to the effect of:

"Then, install the appropriate version of react-native-background-fetch:"

For anyone else finding this issue, I had to specifically add the headers to my Targets Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content
