iOS Manual Link doesn't work

[vadimshvetsov]

It's related to https://github.com/radarlabs/react-native-radar/issues/42

This solution doesn't work for CI, because it installs RNRadar Library again and without configured Framework Search Path.

Fast solution can be adding by default ${SRCROOT}/../../../ios to RNRadar target framework search path and we can have inside our ios folder the RadarSDK.framework

Thanks for the report, would you mind sharing some details?

• What error are you seeing?
• What setup steps have you completed so far?
• How are you linking dependencies?
• What version of the SDK?

[vadimshvetsov]

I have the same report as the author of the issue: https://github.com/radarlabs/react-native-radar/issues/42

#import <RadarSDK/RadarSDK.h> Not found inside node_modules/react-native-radar/ios/RNRadarUtils.m:1:9: In file included from /Users/Vadim/Development/Qlean/cleaners/node_modules/react-native-radar/ios/RNRadarUtils.m:1:

But my project has this string and its works correctly inside project.

The case in RNRadar target search path.

My manually linked RadarSDK.framework exist in my-react-native-project/ios/RadarSDK.framework

I have no pods or carthage and won't use it further, so my case is manual linking

Version of react-native-radar is 2.1.6 (latest) SDK manually downloaded 2-3 days ago, it's latest too

[russellcullen]

Thanks for the info, how are you manually linking the RadarSDK framework?

[vadimshvetsov]

At first I did a copy of RadarSDK.framework folder into my-rn-project/ios/

Then I made a reference of this folder in my main target General -> Linked Frameworks and Libraries

Then I checked that RadarSDK.framework appeared in main target Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries

[russellcullen]

You'll also want to make sure you've linked the projects with react-native link react-native-radar after ejecting the code.

[vadimshvetsov]

Oh, yeah, of course - it was first what I did after installing react-native-radar

And I have

#import <RadarSDK/RadarSDK.h>

Inside my AppDelegate.m and it has no error

[russellcullen]

And the react native side of things works as well? Running the app and calling the Radar JavaScript methods all work fine?

[vadimshvetsov]

It works perfectly when I add manually ${SRCROOT}/../../../ios to RNRadar target framework search paths for using my project ios folder to resolve RadarSDK.framework dependency.

But ofc when it ships from npm it hasn't this path inside my CI

By default RNRadar has: So here is no case for manual linking, while pods and carthage cases resolves properly.

[russellcullen]

Yeah that makes sense regarding CI. We'll get that search path added to the native project in our next release to address this issue, apologies!

~In the meantime, as a temporary workaround, it looks like ${SRCROOT}/../../../ios/RadarSDK is currently one of the listed search paths, if you add and link the RadarSDK.framework from that directory then everything should work.~

[vadimshvetsov]

How soon the release would be done? Maybe it's easier to wait for that :)

I can't see the ${SRCROOT}/../../../ios/RadarSDK in the list. Where is it listed?

[russellcullen]

Ah whoops, I was looking at the header search paths instead of framework ones, you're correct.

You could make a Pods/RadarSDK directory and work from there, but a new release should be going out sometime today, if you don't mind waiting.

[vadimshvetsov]

Wow, thats awesome, thank you so much, I'll wait then for 2.1.7 better.

By the way, I've tested already background location in Android and can't understand one thing. Would it works after Radar.startTracking() in background mode with proper permissions, while I've closed the app completely?

[russellcullen]

That's correct. You'll need to make sure that your event listeners are registered outside of the component lifecycle as described in our README. If so, you'll receive events in the background, otherwise you'll just receive events for as long as those listeners are active.

[vadimshvetsov]

Wow, that's really important note, thanks!

[russellcullen]

Fixed in https://github.com/radarlabs/react-native-radar/releases/tag/2.1.7

Please let us know if you have any problems with the new version, always happy to help!

[vadimshvetsov]

Thanks, it builds perfectly in CI now!
