GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h' file not found #83

deno028 · 2017-02-08T03:32:07Z

I created a new scheme with new Configuration build : releaseDev

"react-native": "0.37.0",
"react-native-config": "^0.3.0",

When archiving I got this error:

fatal error: '/Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-xxx/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/myDevScheme/BuildProductsPath/ReleaseDev-iphoneos/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h' file not found

Notes: it works with default configuration builds: release and debug.

+1,

Even after linking it did not work

coreyar · 2017-02-27T17:13:48Z

I had this problem using a previous version of react-native-config. I was able to resolve it by updating to 0.3.0, unlinking react-native-config, cleaning my project, and deleting ios/build.

cristianrosu · 2017-02-28T20:38:53Z

Make sure you do the preprocess settings under Build Settings while having the main project selected, not a target. This was causing the error in my case. 😄

deno028 · 2017-03-01T09:23:19Z

@coreyar: I try both 0.3.0 and 0.3.1 unlink and relink but still failed. Are you using with multi build configurations instead of default "release and debug"?

@cristianrosu : This error throw from preprocessor.

deno028 · 2017-03-01T11:07:36Z

I find that the BuildDotenvConfig.ruby wrote to wrong file:
Because the value of ENV["CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR"] diffrent with ${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h in Preprocessor Prefix Info.plist config.

Reading env from .env.dev
Wrote to /Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-agbpncwqiroipybewdcexatgmqjc/Build/Products/Release-iphoneos/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

But the preprocess script check the link:

fatal error: '/Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-agbpncwqiroipybewdcexatgmqjc/Build/Products/ReleaseDev-iphoneos/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h' file not found
#include "/Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-agbpncwqiroipybewdcexatgmqjc/Build/Products/ReleaseDev-iphoneos/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h"

deno028 · 2017-03-02T10:26:06Z

After all I find the solution for this :

Set the value for Info.plist Preprocessor Prefix File
${SYMROOT}/Release$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME)/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

Instead of the one from documentation:
${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

masiamj · 2017-03-13T20:51:39Z

+1 - great fix @deno028

wholcman · 2017-03-29T13:29:29Z

Try to double check if there is no space when you copy/paste ${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h in the preprocessor prefix file.

Johan-dutoit · 2017-04-03T20:22:00Z

Any solution for this? Tried linking and different preprocessor.

deno028 · 2017-04-05T04:56:05Z

@Johan-dutoit : What problem have you got? Any error message?

iamrutvik · 2017-04-05T05:08:20Z

Upgrade or downgrade library version based on your react native version. I was using RN 0.38 and I was using latest version of react native config. I had to downgrade config version to make it work

I was getting this error for a new "Staging" scheme I had created. The standard release scheme was working but the Staging scheme was not. @deno028 your suggestion worked for me.

Johan-dutoit · 2017-04-06T15:52:29Z

@deno028 I eventually got it to work with the new config, using your above solution. Guess it was just not cleaned/built correctly after I initially made the change.

salujaharkirat · 2017-04-25T15:55:59Z

I faced similar issue when I removed the node_modules folder to check something. Linking again using react-native also did not work.

So, tried unlinking and linking it again.

react-native unlink react-native-config
react-native link react-native-config

After this it works fine for me

PeterRock · 2017-04-27T03:07:08Z

I fix it.
Set the value for Info.plist Preprocessor Prefix File
$(BUILD_DIR)/$(CONFIGURATION)$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME)/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

eugenehp · 2017-05-04T15:58:09Z

I also found that INFOPLIST_PREFIX_HEADER should be adjusted as well. See my changes here: eugenehp@9792326

ujwal-setlur · 2017-05-11T02:03:48Z

I had to set it to the ${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

Looking at the BuildDotenvConfig.ruby file, it writes the header file to:

# write it so the Info.plist preprocessor can access it
path = File.join(ENV["BUILD_DIR"], "GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h")
File.open(path, "w") { |f| f.puts info_plist_defines_objc }

So, I ended up changing the Info.plist Preprocessor Prefix File setting to ${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

This has to be done for the Project and all targets. In my case, in three places.

xilibro · 2017-05-18T08:06:32Z

I install the latest version, and i found difference between README.md and web page
In README.md:

Set Info.plist Preprocessor Prefix File to ${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

on web page:
Set Info.plist Preprocessor Prefix File to
${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

After i change my config as in READEME.md , it works well

cocymsc1986 · 2017-05-24T12:29:34Z

@pedro will one of the above be accepted? There a few different answers here, seems to be different things work for different people.

Just to add my bit - for me, I deleted my node_modules folder, re-installed node modules and then installed and linked react-native-config. I then used ${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h instead of what is suggested in the readme and it worked for me.

PolGuixe · 2017-06-05T22:10:20Z

In my case I couldn't find any. Is there way to better debug the process?

digitaldavenyc · 2017-06-18T20:21:27Z

Changing Info.plist Preprocessor Prefix File to ${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.hworked for me as well.

I looked in the build directory and it seems the path for CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR looks inside Debug-iphonesimulator directory. The GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h is a directory above this in ios > build > Build > Products > GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

fabriziomoscon · 2017-06-24T15:43:38Z

I wasted a couple of hours with this issue as well... using version 5.0.0 and RN 0.45.1
The app was building for all SCHEMES using a Build Settings Release but not for Debug.

I fixed by applying this patch to my ios/MyApp.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

- ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH = NO;
+ ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH = YES;

- INFOPLIST_PREFIX_HEADER = "$(BUILD_DIR)/$(CONFIGURATION)$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME)/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h";
+ INFOPLIST_PREFIX_HEADER = "${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h";

I really hope this could help somebody else not to waste time!

linhnh123 · 2017-07-01T11:23:32Z

You can try, it work for me:
In Info.plist Preprocessor Prefix File:

${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

Run command:
react-native run-ios
Then you must be close and reopen the XCode, clean and build.

Knight704 · 2017-07-14T07:15:30Z

@xilibro thanks man, you saved my day!
All: in a nutshell the correct value for Preprocessor Prefix File is equal to ${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

mxkxf · 2017-07-15T11:44:14Z

Fixed this by opening ios/Project.xcodeproj and changing all occurences of:

INFOPLIST_PREFIX_HEADER = "${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h";

to:

INFOPLIST_PREFIX_HEADER = "${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/../GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h";

yomybaby · 2017-08-14T03:18:45Z

@mikefrancis, you save my time. 😄

lanekatris · 2018-02-01T18:33:08Z

@RyanMcDonald 's adding of the library worked for me. I had to do some manual steps:

Drag from node modules/react-native-config/ios/[xcode project file]
To here in Xcode under "libraries"
And add the library under "linked frameworks and libraries"

My error went away yelling about the "GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h" not existing.

If some one of you is using cocoapods this solution, from @birkir, works perfectly:

salujaharkirat · 2018-02-19T11:52:56Z

If someone is facing this issue on a customised configuration(other than debug and release) you can try react-native-scheme-manager to handle the configurations. I have 3 configurations( debug, staging and release) now on iOS as I needed staging configuration for codepush. I was facing same issue until I used react-native-scheme-manager. This package modifies all your node_modules dependencies(.xproject) files based on configuration.

evanjmg · 2019-04-29T17:59:20Z

Whenever you add a new target you either need to add manually or if you use cocoapods, make sure it gets added to the target their in your Podfile

I got this error when I forgot to run npm install inside my react native project before building the app. Steps followed : Went to react native project folder. Ran npm install from the Terminal. Restarted Xcode.Everything started working.

harrisrobin · 2019-08-29T01:20:48Z

Adding the following to my Podfile after deleting ios/Pods did it for me:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    
    # Because: https://github.com/luggit/react-native-config/issues/365

      phase.shell_script = "cd ../../"\
      " && RNC_ROOT=./node_modules/react-native-config/"\
      " && export SYMROOT=$RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig"\
      " && ruby $RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig/BuildDotenvConfig.ruby"

mehdihz · 2019-09-25T15:57:08Z

I've changed the below configs in "Build Settings" of project

Info.plist Other Preprocessor Flags => -traditional
Info.plist Preprocessor Prefix File => ${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h
Preprocess Info.plist File => Yes

and it worked

ghost · 2019-10-09T10:18:02Z

If you're coming from React version 0.60 and above, you should be referencing the package from GitHub instead of NPM. The author hasn't released auto-linking support on NPM yet, even though it's already merged!?

Try these steps after you unlink and uninstall the existing version of react-native-config. Remember to revert to default Info.plist preprocessor settings in XCode build settings.

yarn add https://github.com/luggit/react-native-config.git
cd ios && pod install

You don't have to add any other post-install scripts, just run the app like usual and it should work fine. Make sure you undo any other fixes before doing this.

Taylor123 · 2020-01-02T23:02:41Z

@nicolashemonic do you have the GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h in any of the preprocessing build settings?

denisdimitrov · 2020-01-07T09:24:53Z

I no longer needed the dependency and I removed it and it's pods, however I kept getting the following error:

GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h' file not found

The fix was simple yet time consuming:

Remove ${BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h from Info.plist Preprocessor Prefix File
Set Preprocess Info.plist File to No

tpucci · 2020-01-08T08:46:43Z

@nicolashemonic Perhaps this will help: #391 (comment)

@denisdimitrov Just followed your suggestion.

rafaelmaeuer · 2020-05-21T23:58:36Z

#391 (comment) describes how to generate the file, so it should give the right hint for anyone who needs to remove it.

ElliDy · 2020-05-27T07:21:14Z

Setting ${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h on the project ONLY is what worked for me after trying everything else.

Thanks @moroz0v, this worked for me. Setting it ONLY on project and NOT on the targets is the secret here.

lukewlms · 2020-08-14T15:38:50Z

My solution was pretty specific - mine was failing only when testing with Detox, but working fine with normal run-ios. I fixed it by changing this setting in my Detox build command:

-derivedDataPath ios/build

To point to the Xcode DerivedData directory, where the .h file can actually be found:

/Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/mobile2mr-xxxx

blinkyweezy · 2021-04-22T12:08:58Z

for anyone who couldn't find a solution, how i solved mine was to navigate to the folder that was mentioned in the error message. mine was /Users/user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/app-gehbcoezzoencvciaviqaurqghcg/Build and ran this code in the terminal at that folder, touch GeneratedDotEnv.m GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h && echo "#define DOT_ENV @{ };" >> GeneratedDotEnv.m. cleaned the project and it worked :))

GastonRosso · 2022-06-08T16:24:12Z

If anyone is still having the problem, my issue was that I was opening Xcode in ios folder, what solved it for my was opening xcworkspace file from Xcode.

deno028 · 2022-06-24T06:31:52Z

Sorry guys, I've been offline for a while. I think new versions this issue was solved.

spsaucier · 2022-10-28T14:29:55Z

We fixed by removing the requirements for GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h, since it's not recommended by the react-native-config Readme anymore, and then we followed the instructions towards Config.xcconfig enabling env vars in Info.plist: https://github.com/luggit/react-native-config#availability-in-build-settings-and-infoplist, making sure that our Info.plist was using the proper $(VAR) syntax.
