Flipper & RN 0.62 - Build Failed: Use of undeclared identifier 'client'

Description

After upgrading to RN 0.62, I’m not able to build the app due to Flipper error in AppDelegate.m

I’m not actually sure what exactly is happening - I’m able to ‘jump to definition’ to every flipper file. Pods seems to be installed properly (I’m using the same pods as defined inside RN Podfile for 0.62 + my native dependencies

Alright, I got it to build with following this instruction on iOS.

Make sure add this in your Podfile:

# Post Install processing for Flipper
def flipper_post_install(installer)
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == 'YogaKit'
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '4.1'
      end
    end
  end
  file_name = Dir.glob("*.xcodeproj")[0]
  app_project = Xcodeproj::Project.open(file_name)
  app_project.native_targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      cflags = config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] || '$(inherited) '
      unless cflags.include? '-DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1'
        puts 'Adding -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1 in OTHER_CFLAGS...'
        cflags << '-DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1'
      end
      config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] = cflags
    end
    app_project.save
  end
  installer.pods_project.save
end

After adding this if you do not have any Swift file in your project, you will see some nasty Swift compile error. Just add new Dummy.swift file to the project and click yes to when it asks you to add bridging or whatever.

I have the same problem. what I found is that you need to edit the project.pbxproj file and add this

Keep in mind that the structure of that file depends a lot on you project. so what I can tell you is that I searched for DEAD_CODE_STRIPPING = NO; and put the code there.
