iOS app is not building with new architecture in react native 0.72.6

[singh-sukhmanjit]

React Native 0.72.6
Xcode 15
New architecture enabled

App builds successfully with old architecture but gives following error with new architecture while building -

Below is the podspec for Share Extension

target 'ShareExtension' do
  use_react_native!

  pod 'RNShareMenu', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-share-menu'
end

Yeah, the project does not currently support the new architecture. If you'd like to follow along, we're tracking support for this in #293.

Hi @lindboe ,
what is the latest react-native version compatible with the react-native-share-menu@6.0.0?
is it react-native@0.63.2 as shown in the example?
thanks

[lindboe]

@mhsfh if you're not using the new architecture, which is not required by recent react native, you can use the latest version of react native with a few patches to this library (using patch-package). Check out the list in Phase 0 for the PRs that fix those issues, you can copy their fix as a patch for now: #294

@lindboe I made it work, thank you so much 🙏

Yeah, I've been trying to get this package to work on iOS for several days. I've experimented with different React Native versions, various projects, and different paths, but unfortunately, I haven't had any luck with it.

Hello @singh-sukhmanjit here to me I'm facing with "'RNShareMenu-Swift.h' file not found" message when I try build iOS.

React-Native 0.72
Xcode 15.3
Apple M3

It's happen in file "node_modules/react-native-share-menu/ios/ShareMenuManager.m" line 9: #import "RNShareMenu-Swift.h"

Where is this file?

I can't get it to build with the custom view config either.

RN 0.73.6

Found Pull Request #260 witch fixes this issue:

So it works for you with the new arch enabled?

[Karthik-B-06]

Has someone made it work with Expo? I am using Expo Dev Client.

I'm running the App on iOS 17.4 with React native v0.73.6.
Share Menu is working fine on my app.
