Update Yoga.podspec: fixes archiving for Mac Catalyst

[kesha-antonov]

Hi

Summary:

When I tried to archive macos catalyst app in Xcode I got errors:

This PR fixes archiving by linking PrivateHeaders in yoga.framework

Prev PR here #42159

Changelog:

[IOS] [FIXED] - fixed archiving for Mac Catalyst

Test Plan:

Try archive react-native tester app for macos catalyst in Xcode

Hi @kesha-antonov, thanks for opening the issue.
Setting the Header search paths for Yoga fixes the issue but it is not the right fix. The problem with Catalyst is that it stores the headers in the wrong folder when archiving for Mac Catalyst. The right fix is to set the right folder for the Public haders, similarly to what we did for Fabric.

Could you either:

1. Try to apply a similar fix to yoga and archive again to verify that it works
   or
2. Create a reproducer using this repo so I can try it myself and provide the right fix, please? 🙏

Hi,

yeah, I tried what you propose but it doesn't work unfortunately
I'll make reproduction

Also I don't think that problem in Public Headers since XCode shows error that it can't import files that are located as Private Headers

We make headers as public for root directory:

react-native/packages/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga/Yoga.podspec

Line 57 in 1c5877a

public_header_files = 'yoga/*.h'

On other levels it is private headers:

react-native/packages/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga/Yoga.podspec

Line 64 in 1c5877a

spec.private_header_files = Dir.glob(all_header_files) - Dir.glob(public_header_files)

So for what you propose to work we need to write public_header_files = 'yoga/**/*.h'
Or make Private Headers visible as I proposed

What do you think?

[kesha-antonov]

The difference that in repro app Search Paths are correct by default.

When I add ENV['USE_FRAMEWORKS'] = 'static' to Podfile it changes to

Then it starts to fail archiving. Even with proposed fix

@cipolleschi I've made the repro here: https://github.com/kesha-antonov/react-native-mac_catalyst_archiving_issue_05_02_2024

Hi @kesha-antonov, thanks for spending the time on this and sorry for the late reply.
I'm investigating the issue using your reproducer (thank you again for preparing it, it is super helpful).

You are right in saying that the problem is with Private headers rather than public ones.

I'm so confused because building for Release works properly but Archive fails... and AFAIK, the archive command will first build for release and the create the package... so, it is very unclear and weird that one works and the other doesn't... :/

[cipolleschi]

I think I found the actual issue... If we look at the step done for building:

Build for Release	Archive

Basically, Archive does not create a folder for PrivateHeaders and does not symlink it, but I could not find how to specify that not with Xcode and not with Cocoapods.

I think this could be a bug in Xcode or in Cocoapods, to be honest.

[cipolleschi]

As a workaround, while we investigate this issue, I think we can move forward with this fix (I verified too that it works).
I hope we could fix this properly (or that Cocoapods/Apple) will fix it for us

Thanks for the explanation. Didn't look at the logs there

I hope that Apple will fix it if it's Xcode's
issue
