'Amplitude.h' file not found about react-native-amplitude-analytics

[SudoPlz]

I'll be away for a week so I can't really help atm but it looks like you haven't installed the amplitude pod. Did you go through the pod installation process (step 2 of the guide)?

Same thing here:

.../node_modules/react-native-amplitude-analytics/ios/AmplitudeSDK.h:11:9: fatal error: 'Amplitude.h' file not found
#import "Amplitude.h"
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

Any ideas?

Did you go through the pod installation process (step 2 of the guide) as well?

@SudoPlz didn't want to put cocoapods, too much for my little project.

So I fixed it for now:

I had to explicitly set:

"$(SRCROOT)/../../../ios/standupsmobile/Amplitude-iOS/Amplitude"

Under Header Search Paths within the project RNAmplitudeSDK

Right yes that makes sense.

@SudoPlz but gets overridden by react-native link _libraryName_.

Had to go the cocoapods way sadly, I also found out I need it for other libraries.

Thanks for taking the time to reply on a Saturday, and have a great one @SudoPlz

So I just finished setting up cocoapods, the Amplitude-iOS pod installed well.

But within react-native-amplitude-analytics/ios/AmplitudeSDK.h:11:9 it still cannot find the file? That's weird:

node_modules/react-native-amplitude-analytics/ios/AmplitudeSDK.h:11:9: fatal error: 'Amplitude.h' file not found
#import "Amplitude.h"
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm on vacation and can't take a deeper dive, but for some reason, the rn amplitude project can't find amplitude sdk files. Usually that's either because the sdk is not installed or most probably in your case because the header files of amplitude sdk are not exposed to the rn amplitude project.

That should not be a problem but it could be because you changed the header files manually.

Can you delete node_modules/react-native-amplitude-analytics and yarn add react-native-amplitude-analytics? That way a fresh copy of the rn amplitude project will be downloaded.

I have resolved it. This instruction is incorrect:

download the Amplitude-iOS sdk from here and add it to your project manually. Make sure the Amplitude-iOS directory of the SDK is included in the root of your app's ios folder.

Correct steps:

1. Download the Amplitude SDK from here: https://github.com/amplitude/Amplitude-iOS/archive/master.zip.
2. Extract the ZIP file.
3. Open extracted folder, copy only Amplitude folder (not whole unzipped Amplitude-iOS!) to your project /ios/Pods folder (not the root /ios!), even if you don't use Pods (this location is expected by linked project).
4. Rename copied Amplitude folder to Amplitude-iOS (this is name expected by linked project).

This solution doesn't change the library itself, so it won't be overridden.

[SudoPlz]

Interesting, what you said sounds right, and it looks like an extra header path should be added to the react-native-amplitude-analytics, so that it looks for headers inside root/ios/Amplitude-iOS.
Would it be too much to ask for that PR @KlimczakM ?
