`React/RCTBridgeModule.h` file not found

Question

Getting this error while building a react-native iOS app on xcode.

Started getting this error after npm install and rpm linking react-native-fs library. But

Answer 1

In my case this particular problem happened when I was trying to archive a 0.40+ react-native app for iOS (solution was found here: Reliable build on ^0.39.2 fails when upgrading to ^0.40.0).

What happened was that Xcode was trying to build the react-native libraries in parallel and was building libraries with implicit react dependencies before actually building the react library.

The solution in my case was to:

1. Disable the parallel builds:

   • Xcode menu -> Product -> Scheme -> Manage Shemes...
   • Double click on your application
   • Build tab -> uncheck Parallelize Build

2. Add react as a project dependecy

   • Xcode Project Navigator -> drag React.xcodeproj from Libraries to root tree
   • Build Phases Tab -> Target Dependencies -> + -> add React

Answer 2

Make sure you disable Parallelise Build and add React target above your target

Answer 3

This error appeared for me after I ran pod install command for the new dependencies. Along with those, React had also been installed. Therefore probably Xcode was confused for path. I removed these lines from PodFile and error was gone. Please note that those removed from here were already linked in Xcode.

target 'app' do

  pod 'GoogleMaps'
  pod 'Firebase/Auth', '~> 6.3.0'
  pod 'Firebase/Database', '~> 6.3.0'

  # Removed four pods below and it worked.

  pod 'react-native-image-picker', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-image-picker'

  pod 'ReactNativePermissions', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-permissions'

  pod 'react-native-image-resizer', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-image-resizer'

  pod 'RNFS', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-fs'

  end

Answer 4

Go to iOS folder in your project and install pod -

$ pod install

If you are getting any error in installation of pod type command-

$ xcode-select -p

Result should be - /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

If the path is incorrect then open your iOS project in Xcode and go to: Xcode->preferences->command line tools-> select Xcode

And again install the pod your issue will be fixed.

Answer 5

If Libraries/React.xcodeproj are red in xcode then reinstall node_modules

rm -rf node_modules && yarn

My newly created project from react-native 0.46.3 was red :S I have npm 5.3.0 and yarn 0.24.5 when I did react-native init

Answer 6

Change

  #import "RCTBridgeModule.h"

to

 #import "React/RCTBridgeModule.h"
