Incompatible with React Native Autolinking (React Native v0.60)

Goals

Use the Realm.js with React Native Autolinking correctly.

Expected Results

Don’t show warning information.

Let the CocoaPods don’t show warning after executing pod install.

Actual Results

After the pod install, it shows the following warning:

[!] use_native_modules! skipped the react-native dependency 'realm'. No podspec file was found.
    - Check to see if there is an updated version that contains the necessary podspec file
    - Contact the library maintainers or send them a PR to add a podspec. The react-native-webview podspec is a good example of a package.json driven podspec. See
    https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-webview/blob/master/react-native-webview.podspec
    - If necessary, you can disable autolinking for the dependency and link it manually. See
    https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/master/docs/autolinking.md#how-can-i-disable-autolinking-for-unsupported-library

Steps to Reproduce

cd ${REACT_NATIVE_PROJECT_ROOT_PATH}
npm install --save realm
cd ios && pod install & cd ..

Version of Realm and Tooling

• Realm JS SDK Version: realm-js 2.29.1
• Node or React Native: React Native v0.60.3
• Client OS & Version: iOS 12.2
• Which debugger for React Native: None

Hey everyone. There are already plans to fix this soon.

I’m getting the same error as @excitedcat. Has anyone found a solution?

I’ve tried the solutions posted here, and manual linking works.

1. Add a react-native.config.js config file in the root of the project with this content:

module.exports = {
    dependencies: {
        'realm': {
            platforms: {
                ios: null,
            },
        },
    },
}

That will skip autolinking for Realm for iOS.

1. Add the project RealmReact.xcodeproj from node_modules into your project as a subproject

2. Be sure to include libRealmReact.a in the Link Binary With Libraries step of your target Build Phases. Important: I’ve spent a lot of time chasing the Cannot read property 'debugHosts' of undefined bug because I was linking to libRealm.a and not libRealmReact.a, I’m sure that may happen to someone else.
