Issue and Reproduction Steps

Trying to run the project on a new Macbook Pro M2. Project fails both with yarn run ios and running 'play' straight from XCode.

Got into it after trying to resolve another issue (in the link) using this solution: #34106 (comment)

Any help is appreciated!

I was running into this same issue after upgrading, did you use the upgrade helper? I did, but missed some needed changes. I ended up going through the list again copying each and every file to upgrade properly, here are the versions I went from and to. Upgrade Link

It appears that RCTAppSetupUtils is no longer used in this context, my AppDelegate.mm has no reference to it now.

abdi4 · 2023-07-05T21:16:14Z

I double-checked and can confirm I copied everything correctly. Getting rid of that line leads to the other errors. That import is used by Flipper and after stripping it out everything works fine. I'm gona revisit my flipper config might've missed something there

helottosornas · 2023-07-06T08:00:59Z

I followed the steps in this comment, which solved the issue for me: #37102 (comment). Seems like some changes in React-Core aren't being properly ported over when upgrading react-native.

I am now unable to build due to RCTViewComponentView.h not being found instead, but that's another issue (I hope).

Definitely an idea! I used only npx react-native upgrade for upgrading, but in the Upgrade Helper I can see the AppDelegate.mm indeed was not updated, so maybe the upgrade process silently failed somewhere.

Currently, I just downgraded the RN version and tried to solve the initial problem in a different way, as going through every change and applying it manually seems too much work at this point. Hopefully, we'll get a fix at some point!

Thanks :)

facing the same issue.

Update

I fixed by running this commands and following the comments on other issues.

I ran this on project root and ios folder:
bundle install
bundle exec pod repo update
delete the ios/Podfile.lock
bundle exec pod install

Then
#36690 (comment)

Finally
software-mansion/react-native-reanimated#3823 (comment)

I got a compilation success, but I'm still facing other error. At least it is compiling

try to run the xcode project and compile it to check what errors are happening in the compilation.

I did like this and google each error to see a possible solution.

@nishivinodbhatt, I simply reverted to a previous commit in my github project before the update, so it was 0.70.4, also removed node_modules, and in ios dir: Pods/, Podfile.lock and build/. Reinstalled all with yarn install and pod install.

It's working now OK, though I had to first sort out in my ticket mentioned unsupported 12.0 os version issue without upgrading

Hope this helps!

mciechanowicz · 2023-07-14T13:35:30Z

I also have this problem in version 0.72.3. Does anyone have a solution besides downgrading?

gvete · 2023-07-14T13:46:28Z

@mciechanowicz you don't need to downgrade.. just follow the upgrade guide : React Native Upgrade Guide

asjustis · 2023-07-19T09:57:08Z

@mciechanowicz you don't need to downgrade.. just follow the upgrade guide : React Native Upgrade Guide

@gvete but does that mean applying each code change manually? I personally am quite reluctant to do that as it is time-consuming, and feels like hardcoding a quick fix for a broken update.

It only takes like 30-60 minutes if that, much shorter if you are not that behind on versions, and the changes are required for future upgrades anyways so unless you never want to upgrade you will have to do it eventually.

oduonye1992 · 2023-07-26T13:08:07Z

Use instead

#import <RCTAppSetupUtils.h>

esvanegas · 2023-07-27T19:52:56Z

Use instead

#import <RCTAppSetupUtils.h>

This solution doesn't work, because a lot of dependencies couldn't be found on RCTAppSetupUtils.h but React/RCTAppSetupUtils.h, Did you do an additional step to get this work?

mxnuchim · 2023-07-28T20:30:21Z

Same here. upgraded from 0.70.6 -> 0.72.3. Any solution?

bszyman · 2023-09-25T05:08:59Z

I firstly ran the npx react-native upgrade, it will automatically apply as many changes as it can. Then I applied the changes shown in upgrade helper for AppDelegate.mm and AppDelegate.h file. I can see the #import <React/RCTAppSetupUtils.h> line here has been removed along with many other things.

Upgrade helper - https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.70.6&to=0.72.3 (Remember to change the from/to version)

Chiming in that this worked for me too.

Apparently when we had done earlier upgrades from 0.69.7, this was overlooked. Cleaning this cruft out fixed the issue.

Get the whole list/diff here: https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.69.7&to=0.72.4#RnDiffApp-ios-RnDiffApp-AppDelegate.mm

Darrick-Oliver · 2023-09-28T01:39:20Z

What worked for me was deleting the ios/ folder that was generated with the old RN version, and re-running npm run ios. This made the correct modifications to the AppDelegate.mm and other files mentioned above.

MendyK · 2023-10-04T21:36:04Z

@hassanharoon321 I'm on react native 0.72.5. Try rerunning the app in the usual way you do after deleting the iOS folder.

austimkelly · 2023-10-06T21:39:46Z

Changing from #import <React/RCTAppSetupUtils.h> to #import <RCTAppSetupUtils.h> fixed for me. I'm building with expo, so I had to fix this. Versions:

"expo": "^49.0.13",
"react-native": "^0.72.5",
"react": "18.2.0",

The RCTAppSetUpUtils is under a different project. I'm not sure if that changed during a react native upgrade.

Here's where the <React/*> includes are:

Maybe some include paths are messed up?

surasit-int-trueid · 2023-10-27T16:03:41Z

I just changed to new format
#import <React/RCTAppSetupUtils.h>

change to
#import "RCTAppSetupUtils.h"

rocketraman · 2024-04-23T06:36:15Z

Changing from #import <React/RCTAppSetupUtils.h> to #import <RCTAppSetupUtils.h> fixed for me.

This solves not finding RCTAppSetupUtils, but then for me leads to:

In file included from /.../MyRNProject/AppDelegate.mm:8:
/.../Pods/Headers/Public/React-RCTAppDelegate/RCTAppSetupUtils.h:23:9: fatal error: 'React/JSCExecutorFactory.h' file not found
#import <React/JSCExecutorFactory.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

rocketraman · 2024-04-23T12:12:17Z

I can see that React/JSCExecutorFactory.h is not supposed to be included unless hermes is disabled:

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/972b42016ef02dc3cecf9743bad82c9fd2068805/packages/react-native/Libraries/AppDelegate/RCTAppSetupUtils.h#L16C1-L24C21

and that the CxxBridge pod that contains JSCExecutorFactory.h is not included in my Podfile.lock, also presumably because Hermes is now enabled by default.

I can also confirm that by manually deleting the #if USE_HERMES check, and the #else block that loads JSCExecutorFactory.h, the build works. So it seems that the #if USE_HERMES macro is somehow failing to return true for this header file.

rocketraman · 2024-04-23T13:03:44Z

Looking at the output of clang, the parameter passed to compile RCTAppSetupUtils.mm is -DUSE_HERMES, not -DUSE_HERMES\=1 as all the other files.

I'm guessing this is due to this line:

react-native/packages/react-native/Libraries/AppDelegate/React-RCTAppDelegate.podspec

Line 28 in 098454d

hermes_flag = (use_hermes ? " -DUSE_HERMES" : "")

hoonjoo-park · 2024-05-13T05:54:19Z

As @rocketraman suggested, it seems like USE_HERMES isn't working properly.
As a workaround, I've done the following below:

Go to the Xcode project's Build Settings.
Find Preprocessor Macros inside Apple Clang - Preprocessing section.
Add USE_HERMES=1 for both Debug and Release configurations.

SunZhiC · 2024-06-05T02:44:07Z

iam also facing the same issue:-

They have changed the default content in AppDelegate.m and AppDeleagate.h file, try to create a new project with react-native 0.72.4, then compare these two new files with old files.

Ahsanali012 · 2024-06-30T08:32:23Z

Is there any fix for it ? I am having the same problem while upgrading to 0.74.5

The `USE_HERMES` flag is set not escaped correctly by `React-RCTAppDelegate.podspec`, and it does not apply. The flag needs to be defined as `USE_HERMES\=1`, but is currently set as `USE_HERMES=1`. Hopefully this will fix facebook#38193.
