Issue and Reproduction Steps

• Create a new project with npx react-native@latest init MyApp --version 0.73.0-rc.1
• Run (cd ios && USE_FRAMEWORKS=dynamic pod install)
• Build the app using XCode 15

The app crashes immediately with the following error:

dyld[38734]: symbol not found in flat namespace '_jump_fcontext'

Hi Luiz, can you try if this is happening also with Xcode 14? I fear that it is an Xcode 15 issue, unfortunately...

[cipolleschi]

Uhm... I just tried and it doesn't repro for me:

[louiszawadzki]

Hi,

I get the following different error in XCode 14.3.1 when building the app:

ld: library not found for -ld_classic
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Following the hint from this issue I'm able to build by removing the -ld_classic flag in Pods and libevent targets (removing it in project.pbxproj wasn't enough), then the app works fine with XCode 14.3.1.

[cipolleschi]

yes, so... to run it in Xcode 14.3, you need to switch the build tool with xcode-select and rerun pod install to let cocoapods remove the flags for you. At that point, you don't have -ld_classic anymore and it work right away.

Can you try again with Xcode 15.1? My app works with Xcode 15.1...

[louiszawadzki]

Hi!
Sorry for the long delay, I just retried with rc3 and I don't reproduce the issue anymore, I'll close this issue :)

[mateioprea]

@cipolleschi i have the exact same problem.
Started a new project npx react-native@latest init AwesomeProjectTest, ran USE_FRAMEWORKS=dynamic NO_FLIPPER=1 pod install

and then i get this

[aybarska]

same on "react-native": "0.73.0",

[cipolleschi]

@mateioprea @aybarska

1. which version of Xcode are you using? (you can check it by running xcodebuild -v)
2. why are you not using bundler? (specifically, you should run USE_FRAMEWORKS=dynamic NO_FLIPPER=1 bundle exec pod install)
3. I just tried the following:

npx react-native@latest init AwesomeProjectTest --skip-install
cd AwesomeProjectTest
yarn install
cd ios
bundle install
USE_FRAMEWORKS=dynamic NO_FLIPPER=1 bundle exec pod install
open AwesomeProjectTest.xcworkspace

and them ⌘+R

and it works.

$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 15.1
Build version 15C5028h

Can you try again?

[fontesrp]

@cipolleschi, I tried those steps, and I get the dyld[620]: symbol not found in flat namespace '_jump_fcontext' error only when I run in a physical device. If I target a simulator, everything works fine.

Here's the requested info, if it helps:

$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 15.1
Build version 15C65

And the output of react-native info:

I managed to reproduce it.
This is not a simple bug, as the stack trace reports that it happens in thread 1 at startup with little to no extra information.
I also tried in release mode and it still fails.
I'll need some more time to investigate. It could be an apple bug of the new linker too.

Have you tried with Xcode 15.2-beta already?
