Possible to link libraries? #149

Closed c-h- closed 5 years ago

Hi, really enjoying digging into this project.

I noticed you said it isn't possible to use third party plugins that use native modules.

Would it be possible to link libraries like here? https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries-ios.html#manual-linking

I can drop a library into XCode but it seems like the Build Phases option isn't present for the project.

Is there some way I can try to help to enable this feature? Thanks!

Unfortunately, native libraries which developed for iOS can't be linked to macOS without an effort. What's the plugin that you have tried to link?

@ptmt Thanks for the fast reply.

I tried to link React Native I18n.

Really all I need support for getting the user's language. On the web I'd use something like navigator.language.

Would you be able to share how I might approach getting that on macOS?

This would be pretty easy. It doesn't require a platform-specific code, just need to have a new compile target. I'll fork it and demonstrate.
