Could not build Objective-C module AudioManager, NitroModules, jsi, missing folly-config.h during integration

[yunho-ju]

Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
• I tested using a supported version of react native.
• I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

When integrating react-native-nitro-audio-manager, multiple build errors appear:

• Could not build Objective-C module 'AudioManager'
• Could not build module 'NitroModules'
• Could not build module 'jsi'
• 'folly/folly-config.h' file not found during build of NitroModules (via RCT-Folly dependency)

Error chain:

All paths reference files inside node_modules or Pods. Occurs on latest stable React Native and plugin versions.

Library version

0.1.8

Environment info

- React Native: ^0.75.x
- react-native-nitro-audio-manager: latest
- iOS Simulator (Debug build)
- macOS Sonoma / latest Xcode
- CocoaPods
- Issue occurs during iOS build with RCT-Folly and NitroModules dependencies

Steps to reproduce

1. Install react-native-nitro-audio-manager following the README installation instructions
2. Run pod install in the iOS directory
3. Attempt to build the project for iOS Simulator (Debug configuration)
4. Observe build errors referencing:
   • AudioManager module not building
   • NitroModules module not building
   • jsi module not building
   • Missing folly-config.h header file

Reproducible example repository

N/A (private project, but errors triggered using RN 0.75.x and fresh install)

Hello @yunho-ju, few questions,

• I am assuming that you are not using Expo here?
• Are you using newArch or oldArch?
• What version of NitroModules are you using? I don't see it listed above (this has to be installed alongside this package).

I have found a lot of times in the past, the folly error generally stems from a react native version mismatch or newArch / oldArch.

Can you experimentally bump rn to the latest to see if that resolves the problem? Also please make sure that you have cleaned the build folder completely after installing, etc.

Hello @yunho-ju, just following up, is this still an issue? If not, I will go ahead and close.

Hi — I’m seeing the same build error described: “Could not build Objective-C module ‘AudioManager’, NitroModules, jsi; missing folly-config.h during integration”.

My setup is nearly identical to what @yunho-ju mentioned:

• I’m using React Native v0.76 (instead of v0.75.x)
• I’m not using Expo
• I have enabled the New Architecture (Fabric + TurboModules)
• My version of the nitro modules is: "react-native-nitro-modules": "^0.30.0"

Thanks for any insight you might have — looking forward to your thoughts on this.

Hey guys, I backed down the example app down to react-native v0.76.8 and was able to compile the example app and build it with no issues. I'm not able to reproduce this, although I did use expo development build (which is the example app).

Can one of you provide a simple repro? Also please try and bump your nitro modules up to 0.31.4, just as a test.

Also, in classic react-native fashion sometimes you have to blow away your package.lock / bun.lock / yarn.lock files and delete node_modules and do a clean install. Let me know if this somehow fixes it...

Unfortunately, the project I’m testing this on is private, so I can’t share full details about it. 😕

However, from what I’ve noticed, the issue seems to be related to a Podfile configuration. Specifically, my project includes the following lines:

use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
$RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true

These settings come from the React Native Firebase iOS setup guide:
https://rnfirebase.io/#configure-firebase-with-ios-credentials-react-native--077

When these two lines are present, the build fails with the same error mentioned in this issue.
But when I comment them out, the build succeeds.

The problem is that those lines are required for Firebase to work properly, so removing them isn’t really an option.

It might be some incompatibility between Nitro Modules and static framework linking.
