Problem

With the latest Xcode installed, when you run npm run ios it fails with the error 'value' is unavailable: introduced in iOS 12.0

Importance

All developers needs to be able to easily run the App on iOS. The workarounds for now are to downgrade to an older version of Xcode or manually set the iOS Deployment target to iOS 13.0 for the React-Codegen Pod, as described here. These workarounds are time consuming and we don't want to have to do them forever.

To be clear this is a dev only error, not a bug with the App

Solution

Upgrade our react native installation to at least 0.71.6 which will fix this error.

This isn't actually a bug but I wanted to use the label temporarily to kick start the process with external contributors. I think a contributor can fix this.

If upgrading RN fixes the issue, there's already PR

[neil-marcellini]

Awesome thanks for linking that @aimane-chnaif! I figured maybe that was already in the works. I'll hold on the upgrade issue and we can retest once it's done.

[s77rt]

Not overdue.
@neil-marcellini Can you add the "HOLD" to the title?

[flaviadefaria]

@neil-marcellini when put this on hold can you also switch it to weekly?

[neil-marcellini]

Oh yeah on it, I must have gotten distracted last time.

[flaviadefaria]

I'm OoO for 8 days so re-adding the BUG label, but keeping myself assigned. I'll be back at work on May 30th if this needs to be actioned before I'm back please re-apply the bug label.

[s77rt]

Still on hold

[neil-marcellini]

ditto

[neil-marcellini]

Holding, I'm making this a monthly.

[neil-marcellini]

Still on hold, there's progress.

[s77rt]

#18444 is now resolved. I think we can close this.

[neil-marcellini]

Oh awesome, yes!
