Troubleshooting

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64 on iOS

While building your iOS project, you may see a Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64 error. This is caused by react-native init template configuration that is not fully compatible with Swift.

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
    "_swift_FORCE_LOAD...
    ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

Follow these steps to resolve this:

• Open your project via Xcode.
• Create a new Swift file to the project (File > New > File > Swift), give it any name (e.g. File.swift) and answer "yes" when Xcode asks you if you want to "Create Bridging Header"
• Clean build and run app
