I expected the build to be successful.

Actual behavior

@youcefswoo could you please share your podfile? @ajaysubra this my Podfile.

I m using firebase and react-native-permissions. and for the name of the extension it's RichNotification.

@ajaysubra And this is the error that I encounter in the KlaviyoEnvironment struct when attempting to build the project.

Thanks for sharing your podfile. Can you try moving the extension target outside your app target like indicated in step 3 of the iOS installation guide here?

Example of what worked for me in the example app:

target 'KlaviyoReactNativeSdkExample' do
  config = use_native_modules!

  use_frameworks! :linkage => :static

  use_react_native!(
    :path => config[:reactNativePath],
    # Enables Flipper.
    #
    # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
    # you should disable the next line.
#    :flipper_configuration => flipper_config,
    # An absolute path to your application root.
    :app_path => "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/.."
  )

  target 'KlaviyoReactNativeSdkExampleTests' do
    inherit! :complete
    # Pods for testing
  end

  post_install do |installer|
    # https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb#L197-L202
    react_native_post_install(
      installer,
      config[:reactNativePath],
      :mac_catalyst_enabled => false
    )
  end
end

target 'KlaviyoReactNativeSdkExampleExtension' do
  use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
  pod 'KlaviyoSwiftExtension'
end

@ajaysubra After updating the podfile to

i got this new build error

Cycle inside APP_NAME; building could produce unreliable results.

@youcefswoo I created a PR here in the example app that uses KlaviyoSwiftExtension in the podfile. I tested this locally and it seems to work. I have not seen that build error on my end when trying to use extension pod.

@ajaysubra I will check it and update you soon.

@ajaysubra After reviewing the example and following it step by step, I had the same build issue here. I resolved the issue with this suggestion Thanks for your support.

@youcefswoo Thanks for posting your solution here. Closing this issue now. Feel free to reach out if you need anything else.
