[iOS] App won't build after upgrading to react-native 0.73

[crisfast]

Hello and happy new year.
Sorry in advance if this is not the right repo to report this issue.
This error occurred after I tried to upgrade react-native from 0.72.6 to 0.73.1.

Error message

When I try to build the iOS application I get the following error from mParticle-Google-Analytics-Firebase-GA4 pod

'mParticle_Apple_SDK-Swift.h' file not found

Setup

react-native
0.73.1

react-native-mparticle
2.7.9

Podfile

 pod 'mParticle-Apple-SDK', '~> 8'
 pod 'mParticle-BranchMetrics', '~> 8'
 pod 'mParticle-Optimizely', '~> 8'
 pod 'mParticle-Appboy', '~> 8'
 pod 'mParticle-Google-Analytics-Firebase-GA4', '~> 8'

If there are any other information that I can provide, please let me know.

Thank you.

We had this problem and were able to solve it by copying the header file from a folder named "mParticle-Apple-SDK" to the folder named "mParticle_Apple_SDK". Note that one folder has dashes and the other has underscores.

In order to find if you have these 2 folders go into your project, go to the ios/Pods/Headers/Public folder. From there copy the Missing mParticle_Apple_SDK.h to the folder with the underscores.

Clean and build.

When you do a pod install this change will be wiped out and you will have to do this again, however you can make a change to your Podfile to copy the file automatically when pod install is run.

In the Podfile put the following code in the post_install section:

post_install do |installer|
    react_native_post_install(installer)
    
    # Define the path to your source and destination directories
    source_directory = 'Pods/Headers/Public/mParticle-Apple-SDK'
    destination_directory = 'Pods/Headers/Public/mParticle_Apple_SDK'
    
    # Create a new copy command for each file you want to copy
    FileUtils.cp_r(File.join(source_directory,
        'mParticle_Apple_SDK.h'), destination_directory)

@jeff-marshall-tvo its still not working for us!

Error is talking about mParticle_Apple_SDK-Swift.h file right?

For us, for whatever reason the mParticle_Apple_SDK folder did not have the header file. I am not sure how it happened, but the only remedy we had was to copy the mParticle_Apple_SDK.h file from one folder to the other. It was useful to go through the Search Paths in xCode and look for the headers in the file system.

If I use older pods for mparticle integrations the build works

  - mParticle-Appboy (8.0.16)
  - mParticle-Apple-SDK (8.12.0)
  - mParticle-BranchMetrics (8.0.6)
  - mParticle-Optimizely (8.1.1)
  - mParticle-Google-Analytics-Firebase-GA4 (8.3.2)

When I tried to revert back to latest versions of those integrations, I got 'mParticle_Apple_SDK/mParticle_Apple_SDK.h' file not found from mParticle_Apple_SDK-Swift.h and I tried to copy the file like you suggested and looks like it got past that step.

Now I'm getting the following error: 'mParticle_Apple_SDK-Swift.h' file not found from Pods/mParticle-Appboy/Sources/mParticle-Appboy/include/MPKitAppboy.h

Looks like those integrations are not fully compatible with mParticle Apple SDK.
