Update README on how to install with CocoaPods

[muhozi]

After spending some time figuring out how this package can work in my project while using CocoaPods, I've found a working solution from the comment of the issue #125

This PR updates the guide on how to install this package if you are using CocoaPods(for iOS). This solves the issue faced by CocoaPods user when they try to run the app after installing this package, like issue #125.

Thanks to @clarsen for the comment on the issue.

looks good to me. Thanks

This should be merged, it's pretty useful

Thanks @muhozi !
That information is needed, it would have saved me 3hours!
I think it should also mention to add the following lines to Podfile

pod 'react-native-config', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-config'

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == 'react-native-config'
      phase = target.project.new(Xcodeproj::Project::Object::PBXShellScriptBuildPhase)
      phase.shell_script = "cd ../../"\
                           " && RNC_ROOT=./node_modules/react-native-config/"\
                           " && export SYMROOT=$RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig"\
                           " && export BUILD_DIR=$RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig"\
                           " && ruby $RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig/BuildDotenvConfig.ruby"

      target.build_phases << phase
      target.build_phases.move(phase,0)
    end
  end
end

the above snippet was shared on #125
issue, but it doesn't work for me without $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-config/ios/ReactNativeConfig/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h

tested with versions:

   "react-native": "0.59.1",
    "react-native-config": "^0.11.7",

@alfonsodev Thanks for this, I've added that in the README. Thanks to @mikelovesrobots for the snippet

I'm actually using this snippet for this package to work. I don't know how I forgot to add it in the README too 🙂.

[mikelovesrobots]

No worries! Cocoapods is awful.

@alfonsodev I have the same setup as you, but I'm having a build error.

you can help me?

error Failed to build iOS project. We ran "xcodebuild" command but it exited with error code 65. To debug build logs further, consider building your app with Xcode.app, by opening CheilTracker.xcworkspace

@CesarDenis I haven't seen that error before, maybe you could create a separate issue with this error and all the data related to your Xcode version and react-native version and someone can help.

[CesarDenis]

Tks @alfonsodev, I opened a new issue #340

[asutula]

It's generally recommended that you do check your Pods directory into source control, eliminating the need to pod install after checking out the code and before building. This solution, unfortunately, only generates the generated header file when pod install is run.

[alvelig]

Add this script to scheme pre-actions:

Product - Scheme - Edit Scheme -> Unfold Build -> Pre-actions

RNC_ROOT=$(realpath $SRCROOT/../node_modules/react-native-config/)
export SYMROOT=$RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig
export BUILD_DIR=$RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig
ruby $RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig/BuildDotenvConfig.ruby

Maybe someone knows a way to automatically put it into the scheme

Why this isn't merged? Could've spared me hours of debugging

Hi all,

I changed the way this library integrates into ios project and now all issues with cocoapods should be fixed. PR is here: #349 please give it a try.

[digitaldavenyc]

What does this mean exactly? Where are you "setting" the .h file?

[isaax2]

It works!!! even with the new React Native 0.60.0

[muhozi]

Closing this. The issue was fixed in #349
