🔥chrono file not found, firestore , gRPC-C++

[CyrusZei]

Issue

I have looked at the two other issues that have been posted here but with no luck and that is why I am posting this issue.

as soon as I add
pod 'Firebase/Firestore', '~> 5.15.0'
to my PodFile I get the "chrono file not found" I did read that is has with Time.h.
I am using firestore in my app and I need that.

It has to do with the gRPC-C++ that is beeing added.
Have been trying to figure this out for 3 days now with no luck.

If I remove the firestore from my podfile it builds and everything works just fine.
Is there a version that I can downgrade to where firestore is not depending on the gRPC-C++ time.h thing ?

for anybody that come here

try this fix

firebase/firebase-ios-sdk#1916 (comment)

it worked for me

[scanifydevo]

@CyrusZei I have faced the same issue.
which header search path did you remove?

[CyrusZei]

I made a PR to the repo so if anybody else is stuck follow the guide I made

i'm running into this issue too, though i don't have the search path issue. So I can't remove the recursive search path in the pod directory. I had to use the old build engine on one machine.
Switching back to the new build engine did not repro the issue...

The original poster resolved the issue, so this should not receive further unrelated posts, please open a new issue following the template if there are more problems

[eggybot]

Still got this issue, detail of the problem explained here

Take note I already tried the suggestion solution from @wilhuff via @CyrusZei

[riordanpawley]

@eggybot Any luck on your end? I've been struggling with this issue too.

[eggybot]

@riordanpawley no luck and still getting this issue.

@eggybot
I've got my app building at the moment but I tried to reclone from the successful build's commit and run but the process to get it working was almost as convoluted as the first time lol. So yeah, I'll try and explain how I got it working but I couldn't figure it out on the second run through either.
In the end these dependencies build and run but i seem to have to comment out different sections of the podfile and pod install and delete node_modules and reinstall in some kind of order and I also have to add that react-native.config.js file to my node_modules/react-native-firebase. I think react-native run-ios is what I used both times for the first successful build but I don't know if that's important. Feel free to ask if you have questions but I probably won't know the answers haha

TLDR: Working but not certain why. I think the important parts are make sure you use react-native-firebase 5.4.3 and add the react-native.config.js file to your react-native-firebase node modules folder.
