React Native endless stream of Socket SO_ERROR

Question

I'm working on an existing React Native project and in XCode log output I get an endless stream of the following errors

2019-01-09 12:15:49.005630+0000 App [13746:3543026] [] nw_socket_handle_socket_event [C10.1:1] Socket SO_ERROR [61: Connection refused]
2019-01-09 12:15:49.016640+0000 App [13746:3543026] [] nw_socket_handle_socket_event [C10.2:1] Socket SO_ERROR [61: Connection refused]
2019-01-09 12:15:49.017800+0000 App [13746:3543010] [] nw_connection_get_connected_socket [C10] Client called nw_connection_get_connected_socket on unconnected nw_connection

How could I go about figuring out where this error is coming from? It doesn't seem to be affecting the app, but I would like to understand the issue. I suspect it's not the app's JavaScript code, but one of the pods being used:

pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
pod 'Firebase/Crash'

There is a thread on GitHub about that, it's related to iOS 12+ an Xcode 10+
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19573

I tried to change the buildSystem and it worked for me:

• Go to File, then Project Settings or Workspace Settings.
• Select Legacy Build System from the Build System dropdown.

Answer 2

1. To select XCode10 build system: In Xcode go to File -> Project Settings (or Workspace settings) -> Build system, in which change the New Build System to Legacy Build System.

2. Temporary fix: Edit Scheme => Run => Environment Variables => Add OS_ACTIVITY_MODE:disable in the XCode.

Note: This works fine, but keep in mind that it also suppresses all NSLog output you may need for debugging.

If you run your app on ios: 1. Go to ios/APP_NAME/Info.plist 2. Add these two entries to the Info.plist:

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>We'll show you things near you in the app.</string>
<key>NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>We'll show you things near you in the app. With "always" access, we'll
    also send you notifications when you're near something interesting.</string>
