Argument list too long: recursive header expansion failed

See original GitHub issue

After integrating react-native-app-auth with our project, our iOS build is now failing with the following error:



Check dependencies

Argument list too long: recursive header expansion failed at /Users/username/app_name/node_modules/react-native-app-auth/ios/../../../ios/build/Index/DataStore/v5/records/UW.

The problem seems to be the result of an overly aggressive HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS build setting causing Xcode to give up after it recurses through too many sub-directories for RNAppAuth’s required header files. Other react native libraries have similar issues reported, and have resolved the issue by modifying HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS to be more specific than the current $(PROJECT_DIR)/../../../ios/**

I tried setting the HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS to $(PROJECT_DIR)/../../../ios/Pods/** but that produced other build errors.

Hi all, I have fixed this issue for changeng HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS from “$(SRCROOT)/…/…/…/ios/**” to “$(SRCROOT)/…/…/…/ios/Pods/Headers/Public”, “$(SRCROOT)/…/…/…/ios/{rootProjectName}”,

We have main issue with rootProjectName becouse it depends on appDelegate. I have found next line appDelegate.currentAuthorizationFlow = …

I have created the branch with a possible fix. Please check https://github.com/laktarugar/react-native-app-auth/tree/fix/recursive_header
