[📚] Issues while seting up iOS notification images - iOS Notification Images

[darlanhms]

Summary: I followed every step on iOS Notification Images section and I still had some issues building my application, I managed to solve em' but I don't know if it is worth documenting. (It is a expo bare workflow BTW). It wasn't an error with this library itself and it is probably some annoying ios configuration, I just think it is helpful to share if someone is having the same issues.

• Unable to integrate the following embedded targets with their respective host targets (a host target is a "parent" target which embeds a "child" target like a framework or extension)

This issue always occurs when I put target 'ImageNotification' do ... at the end of the file.
I solved it by putting it before the last end tag.

• Cycle inside ...; building could produce unreliable results. Cycle details: → Target '...': ExtractAppIntentsMetadata

I solved it by clicking on xcode project, Targets -> Build Phases and dragging "Embed Frameworks" above "Compile Sources"

• 'sharedApplication' is unavailable: not available on iOS

I solved it by pasting the following code to Podfile. It disables that option on every pod.

  post_install do |installer|
    ...
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['APPLICATION_EXTENSION_API_ONLY'] = 'NO'
      end
    end
   ...

• [Sandbox: bash(72986) deny(1) file-write-data /Users/XXX/ios/Pods/resources-to-copy-XXXShareExtension.txt

I solved it by going to xcode project Build Settings and setting User Script Sandboxing to 'No'

I'm not experienced at writing issues, if the issue is bad written or not related just close it.

hi @darlanhms so i followed your guide and its great and worked before but since i needed clean build i prebuild with expo and now this step fix:

'sharedApplication' is unavailable: not available on iOS (App Extension) - Use view controller based solutions where appropriate instead.

doesnt work, any suggestion?

my Podfile:

require File.join(File.dirname(`node --print "require.resolve('expo/package.json')"`), "scripts/autolinking")
require File.join(File.dirname(`node --print "require.resolve('react-native/package.json')"`), "scripts/react_native_pods")

require 'json'
podfile_properties = JSON.parse(File.read(File.join(__dir__, 'Podfile.properties.json'))) rescue {}

ENV['RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED'] = podfile_properties['newArchEnabled'] == 'true' ? '1' : '0'
ENV['EX_DEV_CLIENT_NETWORK_INSPECTOR'] = podfile_properties['EX_DEV_CLIENT_NETWORK_INSPECTOR']

platform :ios, podfile_properties['ios.deploymentTarget'] || '13.4'
install! 'cocoapods',
  :deterministic_uuids => false

# If you are using a `react-native-flipper` your iOS build will fail when `NO_FLIPPER=1` is set.
# because `react-native-flipper` depends on (FlipperKit,...), which will be excluded. To fix this,
# you can also exclude `react-native-flipper` in `react-native.config.js`
#
# ```js
# module.exports = {
#   dependencies: {
#     ...(process.env.NO_FLIPPER ? { 'react-native-flipper': { platforms: { ios: null } } } : {}),
#   }
# }
# ```
flipper_config = FlipperConfiguration.disabled
if ENV['NO_FLIPPER'] == '1' then
  # Explicitly disabled through environment variables
  flipper_config = FlipperConfiguration.disabled
elsif podfile_properties.key?('ios.flipper') then
  # Configure Flipper in Podfile.properties.json
  if podfile_properties['ios.flipper'] == 'true' then
    flipper_config = FlipperConfiguration.enabled(["Debug", "Release"])
  elsif podfile_properties['ios.flipper'] != 'false' then
    flipper_config = FlipperConfiguration.enabled(["Debug", "Release"], { 'Flipper' => podfile_properties['ios.flipper'] })
  end
end

    # when building for devices.

Thank you so much for help, I did everything to fix the issue. Build and run all works, but the image didn't show, did you do anything to make the image show in app notifcation?
