Expo bare + viroReact getting this error on ios -> requireNativeComponent: "VRTText" was not found in the UIManager. about viro

[Hunnainwali]

I've got it working.

1. uninstall viro using $npm uninstall @viro-community/react-viro
2. install again using $npm install @viro-community/[email protected] --save (I'm using react-native version 0.64.2)
3. run $npx react-native link
4. run $cd ios
5. run $pod deintegrate
6. run $pod clean
7. run $pod setup
8. run $pod install

For simulator you'll get error related to ARWorldTrackingConfiguration which means project is configured correctly with Viro and you can test on real device.

Please let me know if it works or not.

I'm experiencing the exact same error as @byyoungjin, but with an app that was bootstrapped with react-native-cli. It would appear that something's not quite right with the iOS installation. I'm on react native 0.65.1.

[Hunnainwali]

Facing same error on bare work flow. Android is working alright but iOS is showing the UIManager error.

[Cchumi]

Hey all a quick question. I cannot use the 2.21.1 because of this VRTEXT error.

The fact is that this release fix virovideo which is needed for my application. Is this planned to fix the problem on the 2.21.1 release ?

If not for now how can i fix by myself ?

thanks

I have this problem too, but in my case the UIManager error reports 'VRTARScene' as not found.
Tried in an existing project and in a new one, both created from react-native-cli.

The problem is only for iOS, Android is working well; I have followed all setup points.

React native: 0.65.1
Viro: 2.21.1 (tried also with 2.21.0)
XCode: 12.5 (tried also on XCode 13)

Thanks @Hunnainwali, I hope this will help us. But now we need to find the reason things got broken in v2.21.0.

Question, is you use the stardard lib instead the static_lib, does it work well or it seems to be broken too?

[byyoungjin]

I've got it working.

1. uninstall viro using $npm uninstall @viro-community/react-viro
2. install again using $npm install @viro-community/[email protected] --save (I'm using react-native version 0.64.2)
3. run $npx react-native link

Yes it is working! Thanks. And also work on version 2.21.0. This problem only happens on 2.21.1 as #53 says

I think I'm using static_lib following this https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro/blob/main/readmes/INSTALL_IOS.md
I haven't used standard lib. I Think.

[Cchumi]

Working on it

Thanks guy

[doranteseduardo]

I've been unable to build the static_lib, however the standard lib works well for me.
Can anyone confirm that changing the line:
pod 'ViroKit_static_lib', :path => '../node_modules/@viro-community/react-viro/ios/dist/ViroRenderer/static_lib'
to
pod 'ViroKit', :path => '../node_modules/@viro-community/react-viro/ios/dist/ViroRenderer/'
works?

works?

I don't know this I try it tomorrow and post back the result.
Thanks 👌

I try your option and it is not working.
First i try in my app but getting also the VRTEXT error.

So i try this in the starter kit and it's not working also, always this UIManager error.

What else to try to fix this ?

this my pod file
`require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

platform :ios, '11.0'

target 'myviroapp' do
config = use_native_modules!

use_react_native!(
:path => config[:reactNativePath],
# to enable hermes on iOS, change false to true and then install pods
:hermes_enabled => false
)

pod 'ViroReact', :path => '../node_modules/@viro-community/react-viro/ios/'
pod 'ViroKit', :path => '../node_modules/@viro-community/react-viro/ios/dist/ViroRenderer/'

target 'myviroappTests' do
inherit! :complete

end

post_install do |installer|
react_native_post_install(installer)
end
end
`
Thanks

Same issue on my side, I have tried using both static and standard lib but I'm receiving the same issue: "VRTVideoSurface was not found in the UIManager", please help me :(

I can confirm that, as suggested by #56, using the library of version 2.21.0 (libViroReact.a) it works but the ViroVideo is not working ("setOnBufferEndViro" error).

Is there a working workaround to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,

[Cchumi]

Hi I got virovideo working in 2.22.1 but I have need to compile libviroreact by myself.
As explanation if you look at node modules viro packages you will notice in the dist folder that every libviroreact.a size is 132ko that is not correct so I have compiled on my side and place them in this folder.
Result virovideo is working for me.

I create an issue for this case.

And doesn't know if it is useful.

Hi thank you for your quick reply!

Could you suggest me all the required steps to compile libviroreact on my own?

Thank you again,

[Cchumi]

I can send a link to download the dist folder tomorrow if you want

[Piquart]

Thank you very much for your support, fortunately I was able to compile the libviroreact, now it seems to be working; using ViroVideo I have noticed a strange thing, when I dismiss the scene the sound does not stop, I partially solved the issue putting a reference and stopping the audio (this.refs[VIDEO_REF].paused = "true") but, closing and opening the scene many times, there are memory leaks and the app crashes, it happens to you? do you fixed this issue?

Thank you again @Cchumi !!!

Regards

Hello, I have the same issue as you, and changing the line:

pod 'ViroKit_static_lib', :path => '../node_modules/@viro-community/react-viro/ios/dist/ViroRenderer/static_lib'

to

pod 'ViroKit', :path => '../node_modules/@viro-community/react-viro/ios/dist/ViroRenderer/'

didn't work for me either.

I need virovideo therefore I need the 2.21.1 version

@Piquart @Cchumi
Could you explain to me how to compile the libviroreact library on my own, or send me the dist folder ?

Thank you very much

Closed in favour of #56
