RNAwesomeLibrarySpec.h' file not found

[Ahmedhamed77]

Description

steps to reproduce

1- npx create-react-native-library@latest awesome-library
2- choose Turbo module (requires new arch)
3- push the repo to github 
4- install the package in a react-native app 

so the package.json will look like this

    "react": "18.3.1",
    "react-native": "0.75.3",
    "react-native-awesome-library": "https://github.com/Ahmedhamed77/react-native-awesome-library.git"

then in the project folder

cd ios && bundle install && RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 bundle exec pod install

then yarn ios

I get this error

TestApp/node_modules/react-native-awesome-library/ios/AwesomeLibrary.h:3:9: 'RNAwesomeLibrarySpec.h' file not found

#import "RNAwesomeLibrarySpec.h"

in the example app inside the package itself the generated files are exist but if I install the lib from GitHub the generated files are not generated with pod install

do I miss something here ?

Hey @Ahmedhamed77 , I have the same issue.

Tried to look around and saw that the file RNAwesomeLibrarySpec.h should be found inside the build -> generated folder from ios. Following, this folder wouldn't be committed to Git.

I am also looking away to re-generate this file using Codegen after integrating the library to the project.

Duplicate of #644

Hello @satya164 , thanks for the duplicated issue. I read it. However, it makes me confuse.

According to Issue 644, the issue is

• The author creates a library, adds the library to the app. HE IS ABLE TO BUILD THE APP but need to change the import link from import { multiply } from 'testlib' to import { multiply } from 'testlib/src' to make the app work.

Our issue:

• WE ARE NOT ABLE TO BUILD THE APP due to the missing of RNAwesomeLibrarySpec.h file.

Following, I also add the field prepack to package.json of lib.
When pulling the lib to the actual app. I receive the error: Packing the package failed (exit code 1...

Please let me know if we need to do anything else so we can build the iOS without missing RNAwesomeLibrarySpec.h file.

If you found this is not duplicated with the issue 644, please reopen the issue. Many thanks!

Hello @Ahmedhamed77 , I found a solution for this one and will leave it here in case if you come back or anyone needs it later.

I am able to create a library and integrate it to another react native app.

Create a library using version 0.41.2 - at this moment I create lib for RN 0.75.4

npx create-react-native-library@0.41.2 awesome-library

When pull the lib to your app, make sure you have necessary files and folders

In my case, they are:

1. android
2. ios
3. lib
4. src
5. LICENSE
6. package.json
7. *.podspec
8. README.md

Final

• For iOS, I run bundle install && RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 bundle exec pod install, then open the Xcode project and build as normal.
• For Android, I change newArchEnabled=true to make sure the NativeAwesomeLibrarySpec is built, then open Android Studio and build as normal.
