Error with pod install about react-native-amplitude-analytics

[SudoPlz]

I'm not in front of the computer right now , but it looks like you haven't added the amplitude library. React Native amplitude is only one part of the equation , You need to also add the actual amplitude library in your pod file .

My Podfile has it added:

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'TheApp' do
# Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
# use_frameworks!

pod 'Amplitude-iOS', '~> 4.0.4'

end

I never ended up figuring out the issue, but I was able to brute force a fix by removing the ios directory then recreate it to my current react-native version:

rm -rf ./ios
react-native eject
react-native link react-native-amplitude-analytics
cd ./ios
pod init
# edit the Podfile
pod install

I had to recreate my links to other native modules, but this ended up working. Maybe it had something to do with migrating through various previous versions of react-native? No idea. Hopefully this helps someone else.

Huh, that's interesting and weird..

No idea what went wrong there.

Btw you probably tried deleting your Pods directory and re-running pod install so I'm not even asking..
Hopefully this might help someone in the future, so thanks for sharing your solution..

[chuntley]

Thank you for the great library!
