No Libraries folder in Xcode 10.1 Project

Expected behavior

The installation procedure is outdated : there is no Libraries folder in my .xcworkspace file with the configuration I have (please see below). I would like to participate in the project and propose an update of the iOSInstallation.md file, but I don’t know the right way to do… I try to get some help from #301 and from #312 but it is still not clear how to deal with the first step. Is there anybody to help ?

• React Native / Expo version: “https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-32.0.0.tar.gz”
• Plugin version: 1.67.1
• OS: iOS
• XCode version: 10.1

RE @arnaudambro https://github.com/react-native-webrtc/react-native-webrtc/issues/571#issuecomment-457103271: why would we need to follow official steps 2, 3, 4 if using CocoaPods?

For step 2, I can see "${PODS_ROOT}/../../node_modules/react-native-webrtc/ios" is already in Framework Search Paths and "${PODS_CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/react-native-webrtc" is already in Library Search Paths, but both set as non-recursive. Should those be removed and replaced with what’s detailed in step 2, or should that stay? If still adding what’s detailed in step 2, should I be adding paths to what’s in node_modules or paths to the libs in my pods dir?

For step 3, I can’t see any Embedded Binaries section in xcode 11. I can see a Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content section which seems appropriate. However that already includes my generated libPods-XX.a. Does that already include the WebRTC.framework or that needs to be included again?

For step 4, most of those libs + frameworks I’m meant to add in Link Binary With Libraries seem to already be present in my Podfile. Do these need to be added again or will they be used from my linked libPods-XX.a? If I scroll down to the Embed Pods Frameworks section of Build Phases I can also see ${PODS_ROOT}/../../node_modules/react-native-webrtc/ios/WebRTC.framework already set there. Not sure if that covers me or I need to add it again in Embed Frameworks section as detailed in that step.

The iOS Podfile section of Documentation/iOSInstallation.md also comes between step 1 and 2. I presume that means I’m meant to follow step 1 first, though from what I understand of how Cocoapods works that seems redundant (those libs are already included in the built pods lib that gets linked).

In general I am very new to React Native and using tools like Cocoapods, and am finding the instructions for this project very confusing. I am confused in particular as to what needs to change in the setup if I’m using Cocoapods. I would happily help try to make the instructions less confusing, although I’m trying to get my head around how things should work first.

Updated the installation docs, with XCFramework everything should be simpler now.
