Describe the bug

Trying to install the react native package while using react native 0.66.0 results in the below. I tried doing a force install and then when I try to run, I get the error

fatal error: module map file '/Users/geoffreykinson/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PROJECT/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/LDSwiftEventSource/LDSwiftEventSource.modulemap' not found

Hello @gakinson, thank you for reaching out. As stated in Supported Versions, we are supporting up to React Native 0.64.x. We are currently working on supporting the newer version. I will mark this as an enhancement request.

Filed Internally as 133606.

Thanks for the response. Do you have an ETA on this? It's fairly important for our app launch to have launch darkly integrated and downgrading has a higher risk ATM

Following up on this

[louis-launchdarkly]

Hello @gakinson, apologized for the delayed response. Unfortunately, we are still resolving issues with the 0.65.x and 0.66.x build internally and do not have an ETA for it yet.

[gauthierm]

What are the issues? Can you log them here in the event that someone in the community knows the solution?

[gauthierm]

@louis-launchdarkly Ping, can you share more details about the issues?

[sebasthuis]

We have currently upgraded our RN project to 0.65.0, but have not experienced any problems with LaunchDarkly. It seems that everything is working fine currently. Having some additional details would help me understand what the ramifications are of releasing this.

[finalight]

may I know is the 0.65.x officially supported?

[louis-launchdarkly]

Hello @gauthierm, from my discussion with @gwhelanLD, our design choice of wrapping LaunchDarkly native Android and iOS SDKs leads to a lot of complexity in the build and validation to ensure reliable SDK releases. We are fixing an issue with a dependency on one of the native SDKs.

Hello @sebasthuis and @finalight - We are actively working on the RN 0.65 and RN 0.66 build, while I don't have an exact date yet, I am hoping to have an update that unblocks you soon, as we know that many people is reporting and clamoring for the RN 0.65 and RN 0.66 support.

[gakinson]

Hello @louis-launchdarkly,

I was wondering if the javascript sdk will work for react native? Thinking of work arounds in the meantime.

Thank you, Geoffrey Kinson

Version 68 is about to be out.

Why are you not supporting versions that have been EOL'd yet?

This is making your service an exceptionally hard sell for me. I can't downgrade react-native and I flat cannot find an SDK that works on React Native 66, 67 or 68. We're likely going to sign a six/seven figure contract with somebody, should I get a sales person to light a fire under y'all? What is taking so long?

React Native 64 was release 11 months ago. If I have to hold my apps on versions of react-native that a year old, this is a non-starter.

[finalight]

is it working with 0.67? i think someone mention about it working with 0.67

[samih7]

@finalight @gakinson Yes, for us it works with React Native 0.67.2 (LaunchDarkly 4.2.2).

@finalight @gakinson Yes, for us it works with React Native 0.67.2 (LaunchDarkly 4.2.2).

Thank you 🙏

Hello @gakinson, @gauthierm, @sebasthuis, @EdwardDrapkin, @finalight, @samih7, Thank you for waiting. We have released the React Native Client SDK 6.0 today, which contains support for RN 0.65, 0.66, and 0.67. Because this version dropped support for RN 0.63, this is a major version release. Please look at the Changelog for more information.

This version also contains changes to the difficult-to-maintain CI process we used before. While this has no visible impact on the SDK logic itself, this enables us to validate the SDK across multiple React Native and XCode releases much more effectively. With this, there will be fewer issues when we need to support new RN versions going forward, and you can expect a more prompt update from us.

The release tag on the public Repo is https://github.com/launchdarkly/react-native-client-sdk/releases/tag/6.0.0
