React/RCTEventEmitter.h file not found

Question

I am trying to implement PushNotificationIOS with a detached Expo app. I am running SDK 21.0.0 (React Native 0.48).

I am getting React/RCTEventEmitter file not fou

Answer 1

Since nothing mentioned above worked for me, I started experimenting, and this is what solved it for me:

1. Link React-Core & Public

As mentioned by Escamilla, in xcode open the RCTPushNotification.xcodeproj and under Build Settings search for header search path and add there the 2 path:

• "$(SRCROOT)/../../../../ios/Pods/Headers/Public"
• "$(SRCROOT)/../../../../ios/Pods/Headers/Public/React-Core"

2. Copy RCTPushNotificationManager.h manually into React-Core

In the root folder of your project execute:

cp ./node_modules/react-native/Libraries/PushNotificationIOS/RCTPushNotificationManager.h ./ios/Pods/Headers/Public/React-Core/React

This will copy RCTPushNotificationManager.h wich is in node_modules/react-native/Libraries/PushNotificationIOS/ manually into the React folder which is in ios/Pods/Headers/Public/React-Core/React.

I have no idea if that is a good solution but it works. Maybe if someone could explain me why it was not in there in the first place? That would be golden.

I followed the setup instructions 1 by 1 very carefully doing everything right but nothing worked except the manual copy mentioned above…

Also, this is randomly resetted once in a while and has to be done again -.-'
