Could not build module 'Mapbox' (MGLAccountManager.h file not found)

[munkius]

I followed the steps in the installation guide file, but I get the error the Mapbox framework could not be found. It get this after adding libRCTMapboxGL.a to the section Link Binaries With Libraries. Before doing this I can successfully build my project.

I'm working with react-native-mapbox-gl version 3.2.1.

Same Error

Could you verify:

1. Mapbox.framework is listed in Embedded Binaries
2. Linked frameworks and Libraries has libRCTMapboxGL.a

Uploading a screenshot just like this would help

Same error on 3.2.1. When I search for MGLAccountManaer.h in my project root

$ find . -type f -name "MGLAccountManager.h"                                                             
 ./node_modules/react-native-mapbox-gl/ios/Mapbox.framework/Mapbox.framework/Headers/MGLAccountManager.h

there is a Mapbox.framework nested inside Mapbox.framework. Is that right?

[munkius]

[bsudekum]

Hmmm that looks like. @ferndopolis something is up with your install process, when I run

find . -type f -name "MGLAccountManager.h"  
./node_modules/react-native-mapbox-gl/ios/Mapbox.framework/Headers/MGLAccountManager.h

Unsure how it would put the framework inside of the framework...

@munkius are you upgrading from a previous version?

[munkius]

@bsudekum It's a clean install, what makes you think that?

[bsudekum]

@munkius just wondering. An older version could have been messing with the build.

[munkius]

Tried it a bunch of times with a fres workspace to be sure not to disturb you guys with a nonsense issue :) Hope this can work out, I'm really curious about getting Mapbox to work within react native.

[bsudekum]

@munkius Here is a barebones setup: https://cloudup.com/c9J25rX9Jla

Can you download it, unzip it and try and run it? Maybe see if anything is different.

[munkius]

That builds just fine :) Plus, when I copy the node_modules/react-native-mapbox-gl folder towards my test project (after removing the previous version), that project builds successfully as well.

Getting the same issue in my project.
RN 0.19
MapboxGL 3.21

[jordangarside]

Got it to work, did react-native upgrade to reset the project.
Then I made sure to copy files if necessary for both the .xcode import and the .framework import.
I also had to make sure to set target to iOS version 9 instead of 7 which was the default for the RN project (MapboxGL seems to target 8).
Might want to make that more clear in the instructions.

Thanks!

I have the same issue. It is very weird, i see react-native-mapbox-gl/ios/Mapbox.framework without MGLAccountManager.h and react-native-mapbox-gl/ios/Mapbox.framework/Mapbox.framework with that file...

[samuelngs]

same issue here. It was working last week and it suddently breaks after I reinstall npm packages with npm install

[bsudekum]

@samuelngs @aksonov the install process changed in 3.2.0. Have you gone through the new install process?

[aksonov]

@bsudekum I did all these steps several times without success.

[aksonov]

setting target to 8.0 or 9.0 also didn't solve the problem. Why there are nested Mapbox.framework files?

[bsudekum]

@aksonov I'm not seeing nested frameworks when doing a fresh install. Here is what my completed install process looks like: https://cloudup.com/c9J25rX9Jla

[samuelngs]

@bsudekum I upgraded the mapboxgl to v3.2.0 last week and it worked fine before, yeah and I had gone through the new install process (the one with mapbox.framework).

[jordangarside]

I second @munkius and the copying of the react-native-mapbox-gl folder from @bsudekum worked for me
Edit: See the next posts before trying this, left for reference.

[bsudekum]

I'm confused as to how these folders would look any different.

[jordangarside]

@bsudekum
So it turns out that wasn't my problem, the problem is that 3.2.3 isn't working for me now (same issue as this one).
I tried to get 3.2.3 to work quite a few times on my project and also by starting a new one (with react-native init) and neither worked.
Switching to the 3.2.2 package worked as expected (that's the one you have in the working example).

It's really important that anyone doing this selects Copy files if necessary on both the .xcode import and the .framework import. That used to be in the old instructions.

Still not sure how to get 3.2.3 to work, but I give up for now.

[aksonov]

@bsudekum It uses 3.2.2, not 3.2.3. After i've removed node_modules and run npm install, i've got exactly the same issue....

[jarredwitt]

I was running into this issue as well.

Mapbox 3.2.3
RN 0.19
Node 5.3.0
NPM 3.3.12

I was seeing the same issue as the others with Mapbox.framework containing a Mapbox.framework. I was able to solve the issue and get it to build by moving the nested Mapbox.framework to another location and then deleting the Mapbox.framework that was left. I then moved the nested Mapbox.framework back into the ios directory within my node_modules/react-native-mapbox-gl and the build was able to succeed. Hope this helps. Let me know I need to clarify anything else.

[vinhtq]

I also get this problem! Did anybody solve that?

[bsudekum]

This has now been fixed and released in react-native-mapbox-gl@v4.0.0
