iOS > Parsing of project.pbxproj fails if '[Expo] Configure project' build phase is present

[chriswickham]

I've been experiencing the following error in my Bitbucket pipeline:

peg$SyntaxError: Expected "\"", "\\'", "\\\"", "\\n", or [^\\"] but "\\" found.

This was caused by the presence of \\ on line 308 - a shell script which is responsible for configuring Expo modules.

shellScript = "# This script configures Expo modules and generates the modules provider file.\nbash -l -c \"./Pods/Target\\ Support\\ Files/Pods-Thrive/expo-configure-project.sh\"\n";

I was able to fix this by altering the format as below:

shellScript = "# This script configures Expo modules and generates the modules provider file.\nbash -l -c \"'./Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Thrive/expo-configure-project.sh'\"\n";

However, this line is generated automatically by xCode and I didn't expect to have to alter lines in this file manually to ensure that this package works correctly.

With Expo being a popular build tool, is there any way that this issue can be rectified? Or a setting introduced to skip changes to the project.pbxproj file for those who are not using it for versioning?

Hopefully fixed by https://github.com/alexandermendes/semantic-release-react-native/commit/8f744f29ec2b89262c333fe7c1fb5c088234e742

[alexandermendes]

Scrap that, it didn't work because patch-package doesn't support published libraries.

same here, is there any workaround ?
