React Native Wrapper: problem with `use_frameworks!`

[niall-shaw]

use_frameworks! in ios/Podfile causes buildtime errors with aries-askar pod:

'ariesAskar.h' file not found with <angled> include, use "quotes" instead

We need use_frameworks! for other dependencies

I agree this is a problem. I got around it by using an older version of the dependency I needed to use. Which obviously isn't ideal. This should be looked at.

@jamshale - posting here because it may be of help to you. I was able to mitigate the problem above by adding the following to my Podfile:

pre_install do |installer|
    installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
      if pod.name&.eql?('aries-askar')|| pod.name&.eql?('indy-vdr')
        def pod.build_type;
          Pod::BuildType.static_library
        end
      end
    end
  end
...
  post_install do |installer|
    ...

    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      ...
      if (target.name&.eql?("aries-askar") || target.name&.eql?("indy-vdr"))
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
          config.build_settings["HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS"] = "$(inherited) ${PODS_ROOT}/Headers/Public/**"
          config.build_settings["MACH_O_TYPE"] = "staticlib"
        end
      end

This is necessary for both aries-askar and indy-vdr. I was having some trouble debugging the app with the static libraries, but I haven't had enough capacity to investigate this further.

Hope this helps someone.

IS this something we can add to the podspecs for these libraries so it works out of the box?

[niall-shaw]

Good question, I'll investigate.

It is a specific compiler issue. Angled brackets are "reserved" for system dependencies and quotes for local dependencies. I think we can just change the < and > to quotes and it should be fine.
