[tvOS] - Xcode build failing with babel/webpack/metro related errors

iAMkVIN-S commented 3 weeks ago

Describe the bug When trying to build for tvOS, the renative build succeeds, but the Xcode archive fails with syntax errors that seem related to babel/webpack/metro. However, no custom babel/webpack configuration has been added on our side.

tvOS simulator works fine. AndroidTV simulator works fine. AndroidTV build works fine.

To Reproduce 1. npx rnv build

2. Select tvos

3. When build succeeds, open RNVApp.xcworkspace

4. In Xcode, on the middle navigation menu, select target RNVApp-tvOS

5. At the top navigation menu, select tab General

6. Set the Display Name , Bundle Identifier, Version and Build

7. At the top navigation menu, select tab Signing & Capabilities and set your Team

8. Using the MacOS toolbar, select Product and then Archive to start the Xcode build

The build will fail with the following error: error SyntaxError: /Users/kevin/Documents/REPOS/jimmy/jstv/js-tv/src/app/index.tsx: Support for the experimental syntax 'jsx' isn't currently enabled (32:5):

Upon following the instructions in the error and looking for a solution, there seems to be two steps to do:

9. Add a babel presets to your devDependencies using npm i @babel/preset-react --save-dev and npm i @babel/preset-flow --save-dev

10. Modify your babel.config.js :

const { withRNVBabel } = require('@rnv/adapter');

module.exports = withRNVBabel({
  presets: [
    '@babel/preset-env',
    '@babel/preset-typescript',
    '@babel/preset-react',
    '@babel/preset-flow'
  ],
  plugins: []
});

11. Rebuild with steps 1 to 8

The build will now fail with the following error: error SyntaxError: /Users/kevin/Documents/REPOS/jimmy/jstv/js-tv/node_modules/react-native/index.js: Unexpected keyword 'typeof'. (14:7)

Upon following the instructions in the error and looking for a solution, there seems to be one step to do:

12. Modify your webpack.config.json :

const { withRNVWebpack } = require('@rnv/adapter');

module.exports = withRNVWebpack({
  externals: {
    "react-native": true,
  },
});

13. Rebuild with steps 1 to 8

The build will now fail with the following error: error Unable to resolve module missing-asset-registry-path from /Users/kevin/Documents/REPOS/jimmy/jstv/js-tv/src/assets/defaultThumbnail.jpg: missing-asset-registry-path could not be found within the project or in these directories:

Upon following the instructions in the error and looking for a solution, there seems to be two steps to do:

14: Add a metro dependencies npm i @react-native/metro-config --save-dev and npm i react-native-svg-transformer --save-dev

15: Modify your modify.config.json :

const { withRNVMetro } = require('@rnv/adapter');
const { getDefaultConfig, mergeConfig } = require('@react-native/metro-config');

const defaultConfig = getDefaultConfig(__dirname);

const {
  resolver: { sourceExts, assetExts },
} = getDefaultConfig(__dirname);

const customConfig = {
  transformer: {
    getTransformOptions: async () => ({
      transform: {
        experimentalImportSupport: false,
        inlineRequires: true,
      },
    }),
    babelTransformerPath: require.resolve('react-native-svg-transformer'),
  },
  resolver: {
    assetExts: assetExts.filter(ext => ext !== 'svg'),
    sourceExts: [...sourceExts, 'svg'],
  },
};

const mergedConfig = mergeConfig(defaultConfig, customConfig);

module.exports = withRNVMetro(mergedConfig);

16. Rebuild with steps 1 to 8

The build will now fail with the following error: error node_modules/react-native-svg/src/elements/Symbol.tsx: /Users/kevin/Documents/REPOS/jimmy/jstv/js-tv/node_modules/react-native-svg/src/elements/Symbol.tsx: We don't know what to do with this node type. We were previously a Statement but we can't fit in here?.

Upon following the instructions in the error and looking for a solution, there seems to be one step to do:

17: Install missing dependencies from step 9 with npm i @babel/preset-env --save-dev and npm i @babel/preset-typescript --save-dev (my bad, we added them in the babel.config.json and I had not installed them)

18. Rebuild with steps 1 to 8

The build will now fail with the following error: private properties are not supported

At this point, I cannot find any working solutions, and feel as if I don't want to go too far off course from the default Renative setup. Any suggestions? How should the tvOS build normally go? Does renative have a functional demo app to compare to?

Expected behavior Xcode archive should succeed without any build errors.

Desktop and other information:

My renative.json /platforms/tvos:

pauliusguzas commented 2 weeks ago

@iAMkVIN-S thanks for very detail description, will look into it and try to reproduce, as for now I see you are asking for demo app, so in renative monorepo there are 2 app packages, one is app-harness, the other is template-starter

iAMkVIN-S commented 2 weeks ago

@pauliusguzas Thank you for your prompt reply.

I will compare the template-starter from the monorepo to our current project configuration in the morning to see if anything is different. To my knowledge, we have not changed anything other than what I mentioned above in an attempt to fix the Xcode build issues.

As added information: Our project was originally created from the template-starter at version 1.0.0-rc.19

Please let me know how I can assist further in fixing the issue 🙏

iAMkVIN-S commented 2 weeks ago

@pauliusguzas Following up with last night's response:

I have tried matching the renative.json and /appConfigs/app/renative.json from the template-starter for the tvOS. I also have attempted builds at each step of cleaning up my above additions to the babel, webpack and metro configs.

Xcode builds are still failing with the same set of errors.

ChristopheSnacken commented 2 weeks ago

I have the same issue alas. Anyone figured it out already? I can run but not build

iAMkVIN-S commented 2 weeks ago

@ChristopheSnacken - Out of curiosity, did you get the same trail of errors/fixes as above?

Is your current build blocking error also the following:

ChristopheSnacken commented 2 weeks ago

With me it's mainly that metro is not picking up on .tvos extension. He is going for the standard index.js file instead of the index.tvos.js file. When I use the "run" instead of "build" command, and without the "-s release" it picks up the correct file extensions. `None of these files exist :

src/app(.ios.js|.native.js|.js|.ios.jsx|.native.jsx|.jsx|.ios.json|.native.json|.json|.ios.ts|.native.ts|.ts|.ios.tsx|.native.tsx|.tsx)
src/app/index(.ios.js|.native.js|.js|.ios.jsx|.native.jsx|.jsx|.ios.json|.native.json|.json|.ios.ts|.native.ts|.ts|.ios.tsx|.native.tsx|.tsx) 1 | import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';

2 | import App from './src/app'; | ^ 3 | 4 | 5 | AppRegistry.registerComponent('RNVApp', () => App);.`

ElenaDiachenko commented 1 week ago

@iAMkVIN-S Hello. I can't reproduce this. Could you create a minimal reproducible example to help?

Note: entryFile points to the index.js file in the root of the project. Why did you try to change that?

iAMkVIN-S commented 4 days ago

@ElenaDiachenko I'm sorry for the delay, I was away last week.

To confirm, what should the value of entryFile be? Just index ?

I will work on trying to strip the project down for a reproducible example.

Sorry for the confusion @ElenaDiachenko - It must have been between tries, I can confirm the errors above were happening with entryFile: index (that's what I currently had in my renative.json)

iAMkVIN-S commented 3 days ago

@ElenaDiachenko What's the best way to share a reproducible example with you privately?

RobertArissen commented 2 days ago

Can you try adding presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'] to babel.config.js

iAMkVIN-S commented 2 days ago

@RobertArissen This seems to have fixed the issue.

After adding the above to my babel.config.js :

const { withRNVBabel } = require('@rnv/adapter');

module.exports = withRNVBabel({
  presets: [
    '@babel/preset-env',
    '@babel/preset-typescript',
    '@babel/preset-react',
    '@babel/preset-flow',
    'module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'
  ],

  plugins: [
    '@babel/plugin-transform-class-properties',
    '@babel/plugin-transform-private-methods',
  ]
});

I have a successful build. Thank you so much.

How can we improve the documentation around the above (babel,webpack,metro files which needed modifications to build) as well as some other non-documented items such as the /appConfigs/app/assets required files and their folder/file names? There's a ton of guessing and trial and error right now.

Happy to help if needed.

Because of the discrepancy between the documentation pages for iOS and tvOS, is it possible to have confirmation on what commands should be ran in order to generate a tvOS build for:

Running on a simulator via Xcode
Running on a physical Apple TV via Xcode
Sending to Testflight

Also, can you confirm the appConfigs/app/renative.json platforms/tvos object?

I have countless combinations, most recently:

npx rnv export -p tvos -s release
Uploaded the RNVApp-tvOS.ipa via Transporter to Testflight

My current renative.json is:

            }
        }

However, the build still crashes on launch.
