Build fails with: library not found for -lRNSVG-tvOS

This looks like the same issue as #387, and was fixed in 5.3.1, but I’m seeing this build error even with newer versions of react-native-svg. Repo steps:

1. Create a new project with react-native init
2. Run yarn add react-native-svg
3. Run react-native link react-native-svg
4. Run react-native run-ios and observe the build error: ld: library not found for -lRNSVG-tvOS

My dependency versions from package.json are:

  "dependencies": {
    "react": "16.0.0",
    "react-native": "0.51.0",
    "react-native-svg": "^6.0.1-rc.1"
  },

If I open the XCode project and remove the RNSVG-tvOS.a library under “Recovered References” folder, then build succeeds.

Open the XCode project form your project’s ios folder, hit the Project Navigator button top left, and look for the folder “Recovered References”. Select the item RNSVG-tvOS.a, and hit delete, it will be removed from the project. Then you can try to build again (either Cmd+B from XCode or react-native run-ios from command line), you might need to do a Build > Clean first if it’s still not working (Cmd+K in XCode).

I don’t have an exact screenshot, but here’s something close:

If you don’t see the item under Recovered References, make sure you ran react-native link, that’s what creates it.

Removing it from here did the trick
