Setup AppDelegate.mm with latest react-native (0.72.1)

[wmonecke]

Hey!

How do I setup with this lib with the new AppDelegate.mm coming w/ the current version of RN (0.72.x)?

The docs ask us to do the following:

#import "AppDelegate.h"

#import <React/RCTBridge.h>
#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
#import <React/RCTRootView.h>

// IMPORTANT:  Paste import ABOVE the DEBUG macro
+#import <TSBackgroundFetch/TSBackgroundFetch.h>

#if DEBUG
.
. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
. // IMPORTANT:  DO NOT paste import within DEBUG macro or archiving will fail!!!
. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
.
#endif

@implementation AppDelegate

(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
  .
  .
  .
+ // [REQUIRED] Register BackgroundFetch
+ [[TSBackgroundFetch sharedInstance] didFinishLaunching];

  return YES;
}

but the generated AppDelegate.mm is like follows:

#import "AppDelegate.h"

#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  self.moduleName = @"...";
  // You can add your custom initial props in the dictionary below.
  // They will be passed down to the ViewController used by React Native.
  self.initialProps = @{};

  return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}

- (NSURL *)sourceURLForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge
{
#if DEBUG
  return [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index"];
#else
  return [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
#endif
}

@end

Should it end up looking like this?

#import "AppDelegate.h"

#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>

// Added by react-native-background-fetch, https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-fetch/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-AUTO-IOS.md#appdelegatem-new-ios-13
#import <TSBackgroundFetch/TSBackgroundFetch.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  self.moduleName = @"...";
  // You can add your custom initial props in the dictionary below.
  // They will be passed down to the ViewController used by React Native.
  self.initialProps = @{};

  // Added by react-native-background-fetch, https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-fetch/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-AUTO-IOS.md#appdelegatem-new-ios-13
  [[TSBackgroundFetch sharedInstance] didFinishLaunching];

  return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}

- (NSURL *)sourceURLForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge
{
#if DEBUG
  return [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index"];
#else
  return [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
#endif
}

@end

Does it work?

This works for me.

There are only two thing things that matter:

1. At the top-of-file, with all the other #import statements (it doesn't matter where):

   #import <TSBackgroundFetch/TSBackgroundFetch.h>

2. In didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: it doesn't matter where, as long as it's before the return statement:

   - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
   {
   ...
   [[TSBackgroundFetch sharedInstance] didFinishLaunching];
   ...   
   }
