[help needed] Problems running the app locally

[serchavalos]

Hello!

I tried to run the app locally but couldn't due to the following errors:

⠇ Building the app.......Failed to construct transformer:  Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
	CompileC /Users/sergio/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/app-fzhernkxeiuybtcnzuuzrfpckcgv/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Yoga.build/Objects-normal/arm64/Yoga.o /Users/sergio/dev/skolplattformen/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga/yoga/Yoga.cpp normal arm64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (in target 'Yoga' from project 'Pods')
(1 failure)

I looked up for this error online and found this suggestion, but after applying it, I got the following error:

> yarn run ios
yarn run v1.22.19
$ nx run-ios

Btw, after it fails the first time, I get this other error if I try to run the command yarn run ios again

➜  skolplattformen git:(main) ✗ yarn run ios
yarn run v1.22.19
$ nx run-ios

Is there another command I should be running?

Hi, I'm not very good at all the differences with the tooling, but we are building with Node 16.19.1 and Xcode 14.1.
I guess the problem may be there.

@kajetan-kazimierczak Thanks for the reply! Are you running macOS? And if so, have you updated to Sonoma? I'm asking because I tried to downgrade to Xcode 14.3.1 but the new operating system won't allow me to execute it due to incompatibilities

[serchavalos]

I finally managed to get it up and running.

For anyone looking for answer (or my future self suffering from amnesia), these are the steps I followed:

• Downgraded to Node 16 as previously suggested using NVM.
• Followed the setup instructions on README.md : yarn && yarn run ios
• The first error I encountered related to Yoga.cpp was fixed by following this suggestion
• For the second error, related to unary_function I followed this tip

After that, I managed to successfully build the app but it wouldn't open the simulator after executing yarn run ios due to this other error:

success Successfully built the app

info Installing "/Users/sergio/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/app-fzhernkxeiuybtcnzuuzrfpckcgv/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/app.app"
An error was encountered processing the command (domain=com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimError, code=405):

To open the simulator

• I went to XCode (v15.0.1 btw)
• opened the file skolplattformen/apps/skolplattformen-app/ios/app.xcworkspace (btw, this is the first time I'm using XCode or even attempting to develop a mobile app)
• and, chose from the XCode's menu Product > Destination > iPhone SE (or whichever is available)

I noticed the script running in the terminal listened to the changes coming from XCode and also from the Visual Code editor. So I confirmed everything was working by updating a string in the app and seeing the change reflected in the simulator

Thanks for the info.
