framework not found Mapbox iOS Xcode React-Native

Question

I've been getting this error for a number of days whilst attempting to install and use mapbox Whilst Mapbox works on Android, it does not work on iOS for me consistently resulting in an error on build which is framework not found Mapbox

When installing via CocoaPods I'm getting an error from xcode

framework not found Mapbox

Thanks very much!

I was getting framework not found Mapbox but after Following an answer over at target overrides the FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS build settings target overrides the FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS build settings about adding $(inherited) to framework search paths that resolved it but then there were following issues on build relating to libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException(lldb)

Did you ever paste any plist files into the ios directory before? — ShaneG, Dec 19 '17 at 18:15
Nope @ShaneG The issue is now related too ` libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException` whenever including say the Mapbox mapview in the code. The issue is up to date over at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47855382/mapbox-libcabi-dylib-terminating-with-uncaught-exception-of-type-nsexception — Michael, Dec 19 '17 at 18:18
Ok. This link might be handy https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/313 — ShaneG, Dec 19 '17 at 18:26

To resolve the issue of framework not found Mapbox during build I had to add $(inherited) to framework search paths and then the build was succesfull but follows with an issue when trying to include Mapbox views so whilst this is a partial answer, it resolves the issue of framework not found Mapbox but then there are following issues over at Mapbox: libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException (lldb)

If you are getting this error whilst installing it on a iOS Simulator, you'll have to add it in the Framework Search Paths (as mentioned above) - however, use the options for debug and release:

Device

Any iOS SDK

Simulator

Any iOS Simulator SDK

I put the first option into the Framework Search Paths, and the project built fine on a physical device. However, when I went to use it on a Simualtor, it failed - this is why.

Here is my path:

$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/@mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/ios
