Build fail on Xcode 12.5 with OpenSSL 1.1.x

[bingluen]

In order to support Xcode 12.5, flipper have to upgrade to new version. [1][2][3]

Unfortunately, the version 1.1.x of OpenSSL is need by the new versions of flipper (such as 0.87.0) that support Xcode 12.5. [4]

react-native-simple-crypto[5], dependency of Rocket.Chat.ReactNative, using OpenSSL 1.0.x APIs, but there are some breaking change between 1.0.x and 1.1.x. [6]

@bingluen It's a known issue on React Native with Xcode 12.5.
Can you contribute with a fix based on the comment above?

@diegolmello
I am not familiar with developing cocoapod.
But I will try my best to do this.

Same issue in Xcode: 12.4 after pod deintegrate and pod install

[rajesh-puranik]

I found solution by changing this line it works => use_flipper!({ 'Flipper-Folly' => '2.2.0' }) because it need OpenSSL-Universal (1.0.2.19). Tested on Xcode 12.4

@rajesh-puranik Can you contribute back with a PR?

This did not work for me. I am seeing

react-native/Libraries/LinkingIOS/RCTLinkingManager.mm:102:27: error: 'openURL:options:completionHandler:' is unavailable: not available on iOS (App Extension)
  [RCTSharedApplication() openURL:URL options:@{} completionHandler:^(BOOL success) {

Same here! Xcode 12.5 and M1:
_warning: GLKit is deprecated. Consider migrating to MetalKit instead. (in target 'RocketChatRN' from project 'RocketChatRN')
error: Application extensions and any libraries they link to must be built with the APPLICATION_EXTENSION_API_ONLY build setting set to YES. (in target 'ShareRocketChatRN' from project 'RocketChatRN')

I don't recommend using Xcode 12.5 (you can download 12.4) or new Flipper versions yet (I'm running v0.57 fine here).
I've been working updating all libs and noted this as an issue.
OpenSSL 1.1 changed a lot and we'll have to tweak react-native-simple-crypto to make it work.
I might have a fix in a few weeks (or sooner 🤞 ).

[ferkawi]

I will give a try! thank you @diegolmello !

[ferkawi]

So after a lot of tries, is working now, after a fresh clone - without change Flipper. Xcode 12.4 Mac Mini M1.

All the Problems are because of the M1... The Solution...Cocoapods doesnt work with M1 so we should install it with a Rosetta Terminal and exclude arm64 architectur for the project. I excluded it an all Targets and Pod file. Here more:

https://narlei.com/development/apple-m1-xcode-error-when-build-in-simulator/
https://narlei.com/development/apple-m1-install-cocoapods/

After that, I can build without problems in Rosetta Terminal and Rosetta Xcode

Fixed by #3245

[uluzox]

This fix is not part of the single-server branch yet, is it?
When will it be merged to the single-server branch?

[diegolmello]

No, it's not released yet.
We still need to battle test everything because it was a huge change and the release is going to happen ~Aug 23.
That's when we merge develop into main and we update single-server and whitelabel docs.

[uluzox]

Will there be any announcement of this being merged into single-server?

[diegolmello]

We update single-server branch to match master every release.
