• Link to your project: https://github.com/sdb1228/RNbackgroundLocationTest

Context

I Followed the instructions word for word on the readme of how to set up the project. I have also tried react-native link and can't seem to get it running for IOS

Expected Behavior

it should run and not fail on compile

Actual Behavior

it doesn't run

Steps to Reproduce

follow steps on readme

Context

I can't use your npm module

Debug logs

The following build commands failed:
Libtool /Users/stevenburnett/Desktop/foo/ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/libRCTBackgroundGeolocation.a normal x86_64
(1 failure)
Installing build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/foo.app
An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=2):
Failed to install the requested application
An application bundle was not found at the provided path.
Provide a valid path to the desired application bundle.
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

Command failed: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print:CFBundleIdentifier build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/foo.app/Info.plist
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

I have checked this and it does exist it just doesn't like me for some reason.

Some more relevant information.. Actual error from Xcode:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: can't open file: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator10.0.sdk/usr/lib/libsqlite3.tbd (No such file or directory)

I cloned your project. I won't compile - "RCTBundleURLProvider.h not foud"

Did you upgrade react-native version after you created project? If you did upgrade also invoke:

react-native upgrade

so project files are also upgraded and commit changes to repo.

After react-native upgrade your project compiles just fine on XCode 7.3.

[sdb1228]

Do you overwrite the plist/xcode proj? Because if you do that then the project is no longer linked with your module which would cause it to compile correctly. The steps I have tried have been

npm install
react-native upgrade

and if I override the files then your modules is no longer linked and it compiles correctly. If I then proceed to add your module like instructed on the readme I get

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: can't open file: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator10.0.sdk/usr/lib/libsqlite3.tbd (No such file or directory)

However if I don't override the plist or the .xcodeproj I get the same error.

Outside of your Readme instructions I have tried to use react-native link and ended up with the same error.

[mauron85]

generally if you override, you have to redo install instructions again. For some react native upgrades however is ineavitable to override files (and I personally do it for every upgrade or at least check diffs). I'm going to try to upgrade sample app, which project files were not upgraded and see if it works. Wait a minute and then you can try sample app if it will compile on your machine.

[sdb1228]

Sounds good. I just tried upgrading my project and redoing the install instructions on the Readme and got the same error. I will wait to see if sample app works.

[mauron85]

Ok. just sample app has been updated and tested on sim.

[mauron85]

Tested on both Xcode 7.3 and 8.0 and iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7 Plus (sim)

[sdb1228]

I just pulled down (https://github.com/mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation-example) and npm installed as well as made sure everything is up to date and I am still getting
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: can't open file: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator10.0.sdk/usr/lib/libsqlite3.tbd (No such file or directory)
I am going to try on another computer with xcode 7.3 (The one I was trying on had 8) to see if its specific to my xcode version.

[sdb1228]

Same error running on a separate machine running xcode 7.3.1
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: can't open file: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator9.3.sdk/usr/lib/libsqlite3.tbd (No such file or directory)

It is an odd error because I can see that libsqlite3.tbd is included in the project directory as well as the linked libraries, however it can't seem to find it on either machine I use.

[mauron85]

that is strange can you check if libsqlite3.tbd is relative to SDK?

In sample app in Navigator click on libsqlite3.tbd (should not be red colored) and check in Utilities (right bar)

Location: Relative to SDK
Full path: /Users/yourusername/Applications/Xcode7.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS9.3.sdk/usr/lib/libsqlite3.tbd

[sdb1228]

It is not red. The Utilities side bar reads as followed:

Location: Relative to SDK

Full Path:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS10.0.sdk/usr/lib/libsqlite3.tbd

However when I open that file in finder it actually points to

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/lib/libsqlite3.tbd

Both have that libsqlite3.tbd file

[mauron85]

Ok. Try in terminal:

ls -la /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS10.0.sdk/usr/lib/libsqlite3.tbd

Does it return file size or file not found?

[sdb1228]

it returns a file.

[mauron85]

Ok, I've no idea then. However I've found two links on stackoverflow:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32724799/dylib-file-is-missing
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37511982/xcode-7-3-1-cant-find-sqlite3-0-lib-despite-the-file-being-where-it-says-it-can

[sdb1228]

Well I ended up removing the libsqlite3.tbd reference throughout the project and the supporting project and it compile and ran. It asked for location and everything and seems to be working normal. Not sure the purpose of that file, but I assume its important so will try to figure out later why the removal of that file seems to make things work.
