Upgrading version

Upgraded from V 0.61.3 to 0.62.2

Description

After upgrading to react native 0.62.2 , Added Flipper dependency in Podfile. Pods are getting installed successfully. I have followed all the steps from this link https://github.com/react-native-community/upgrade-support/issues/13

Error: I’m getting errors when trying to build the project in XCode 11: ‘cstdarg’ file not found Could not build module ‘Darwin’ Could not build module ‘Foundation’ etc.

Reproducible demo

I don’t know if this will work for others, but in my case the problem stopped after I manually edited my pbxproj file (inside the .xcodeproj directory) to remove the HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS fields (which is different than having it present with a value of “”). I had edited this field in the past, and I suppose that prevents Xcode from using the default values generated when installing pods (I’m not sure).

I’m sharing what I found as a reproducible demo:

• Create a brand new react-native project (I’m using 0.63.3), and notice that the generated .pbxproj file (located inside the .xcodeproj directory) doesn’t contain the HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS field anywhere.
• Open the project in Xcode and edit the Build Setting “Header Search Paths”, replacing all the paths that contain “${PODS_ROOT}/Header/Public” with a single recursive “${PODS_ROOT}/Header/Public” (which in theory should be the same).
• Clean the project, then build; this error happens.
• Open the .pbxproj file in a text editor, and manually delete all lines with “HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS”.
• Open Xcode and notice that the “Header Search Paths” setting contains the original values again, and the project builds.

Having the Same issue after upgrading from 63 to 64 Solved it by: 1.Setting Dead Code Stripping to YES (in TARGET ) 2. In Header Search Path made “${PODS_ROOT}/Headers/Public” - non recursive WTF
