Upgrading version

0.63.3

Description

After Xcode and Mac updated, my app could not load the libraries properly. Images were not working, as well as other components for some reason. I have made some research and it was because of the faulty Xcode update they handled. (More details in this issue I have opened).

I have seen people saying that upgrading to 0.63 solved the problem. However, I did not manage to update it successfully. My project began in RN 0.61.2 and I have only managed to update to 0.62.2. It probably has some file differences if starting a brand new app at 0.62.2.

I have followed the Upgrade Helper and I have applied the patch-package, but none of them successfully upgrades to 0.63.3.

Errors:
Changing the package.json only (RN 0.62.2 to 0.63.3).
When building the app, I immediately get this error:
In file included from .../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/cxxreact/NativeToJsBridge.cpp:8: .../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/cxxreact/NativeToJsBridge.h:15:10: fatal error: 'ReactCommon/CallInvoker.h' file not found #include <ReactCommon/CallInvoker.h>

I have followed this method but the same error happens.

Using patch-package and Upgrade Helper
When building the app, Metro is executed, however, a huge error log is shown with this error at the end:

`ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L-L/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Project-dnhaxcpjqvjtxjbqrzsimsmqaebh/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/BoringSSL-GRPC'
ld: library not found for -lBoringSSL-GRPC
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:
Ld /Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Project-dnhaxcpjqvjtxjbqrzsimsmqaebh/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Project.app/PlugIns/ProjectTests.xctest/ProjectTests normal x86_64
(1 failure)`

I have removed all the quotes from the Library Search Paths like this reply shows but the error persisted.

Reproduce demo

1. Create an RN project at Version 0.61.2
2. Update the same project to Version 0.62.2
3. Update it to Version 0.63.3

I am able to return to 0.62.2 at any time. I appreciate the time taken to read all this! Thanks!

@leminur I'm having the same issue. Did you get this resolved?

I had similar issue after upgrading to RN 0.64.0

ld: library not found for -lBoringSSL-GRPC

The problem was In LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS (Project -> Build Settings -> LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS) I had this

"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift/$(PLATFORM_NAME)",
"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)",
"$(inherited)"

Removing the quotes solved the issue

$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift/$(PLATFORM_NAME),
$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME),
$(inherited)
