Description

I've successfully build a react-native project using XCode 8 but the app crashes after the build with the following error message. I've been trying everything but to no avail, and seems there are no similar issues out there. The issue, i think from trying to debug this, lies in RCTBridge.m:

- (Class)bridgeClass
{
  // In order to facilitate switching between bridges with only build
  // file changes, this uses reflection to check which bridges are
  // available.  This is a short-term hack until RCTBatchedBridge is
  // removed.

  Class batchedBridgeClass = objc_lookUpClass("RCTBatchedBridge");
  Class cxxBridgeClass = objc_lookUpClass("RCTCxxBridge");

  Class implClass = nil;

  if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(shouldBridgeUseCxxBridge:)]) {
    if ([self.delegate shouldBridgeUseCxxBridge:self]) {
      implClass = cxxBridgeClass;
    } else {
      implClass = batchedBridgeClass;
    }
  } else if (batchedBridgeClass != nil) {
    implClass = batchedBridgeClass;
  } else if (cxxBridgeClass != nil) {
    implClass = cxxBridgeClass;
  }

  RCTAssert(implClass != nil, @"No bridge implementation is available, giving up.");
  return implClass;
}

where the bridgeClass returns the assertion error due to the selection between the RCTBatchedBridge class and the RCTCxxBridge returning neither as explained in the comments below found in RCTBridgeDelegate.h

/**
 * Configure whether the legacy RCTBatchedBridge or new RCTCxxBridge
 * should be used.  If this method is implemented and the specified
 * bridge is not linked in, startup will fail.  If this method is not
 * implemented, the implementation will default to RCTBatchedBridge,
 * but if it is not linked in, will try RCTCxxBridge instead.  If
 * neither bridge is linked in, startup will fail.  This order will be
 * reversed in the near future, as the legacy bridge is closer to
 * being removed.
 *
 * @experimental
 */
- (BOOL)shouldBridgeUseCxxBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge;

Reproduction Steps and Sample Code

All the RN modules involved have been installed, linked etc with npm and CocoaPods. There are no prior build errors and the build is in debug mode. I've also been using the Ignite boilerplate but from the logs it hasn't yet gone to app specific codes.

The error after successful build:

Additionally produces a Thread 1:signal SIGABRT error in the main.m file.

Additional info:

1) XCode 8 2) react-native: 0.44 3) macOSx

Need assistance in solving this. Thank you in advance for your help!

  • please run the server prior to the project build. – Codesingh Jun 06 '17 at 02:00
  • hi @Codesingh, unfortunately I've also ran the server prior to build and had done react-native run-ios but the app still crashes. – Zharif Jun 06 '17 at 02:21
  • it seems you are having error in react-native/React/Base/RCTBridge.m:292 , please install fresh node_modules and let me know the status. – Codesingh Jun 06 '17 at 02:37
  • sorry for the late reply, I've installed the fresh node_modules a few times and the error's still the same. after fixing all the other inherent build errors the app keeps on crashing upon build success at the same thread. – Zharif Jun 06 '17 at 13:05
  • btw @Codesingh the excerpt code for react-native/React/Base/RCTBridge.m:292 is as posted above. – Zharif Jun 06 '17 at 13:07
  • I have the same issue when trying to init a RCTRootView in a share extension. The main app target works fine. – Alexis Dec 21 '17 at 15:27

I've finally manage to solve this issue and am posting this answer for those who might come across this issue as well.

The error is due to a separate fix, which having hindsight, is a temporary one:

Duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64 under Xcode

Removing the -ObjC from Other Linker Flags will cause the issue above as any linking done with native classes will not work and causes the App to crash. So what I did instead was the following:

1) Find the files which contain the duplicate symbols and removing any references to the duplicate files while maintaining the ones in the Libraries folder of the project.

2) Reinserting -ObjC in the Other Linker Flags for the main project target and the App will stop crashing.

Hope this helps.
