library not found for -lAppAuth only for release build (works fine in debug)

Issue

Hi,

I was using this library from long time. It is working fine for me till I was using React-Native 0.59.X As soon as i started using latest react-native 0.60.5 (latest for now) i am facing weird issue. In debug mode for iOS device is’ working fine as expected. But when i try to release the app from xcode. I am getting a linker error for AppAuth library.

ld: library not found for -lAppAuth
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

My podfile as follows,

platform :ios, '11.0'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

target '<AppName>' do
  # Pods for <AppName>

    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing

@tiffanym19 I faced this error when had to change platform :ios, from ‘10.0’ to ‘11.0’ didn’t use react-native-app-auth directly but likely used as peerDependency of google-signin

couldn’t fix this and had to rollback to platform :ios, ‘10.0’
