Viro 2.21.1

[Cchumi]

Hi it's not a pure issue but I investigate to find out why the 2.21.1 release is not working and show UIManager error for all the viro components.

I find the culprite..

I download the zip of 2.21.0 and 2.21.1 and find that for IOS libviroreact.a is not the good one.
The size of the package is not relevant for the lib.

If I check the same file on the 2.21.0 release this file is bigger

So I take all the libviroreact.a from 2.21.0 folder and paste it in my node module viro react.

I compile from xCode and now my app doesn't complain anymore for VRTText not found in UIManager.
And work as expected.

How can I build this libviroreact.a from my side ?

Hope this could give you the right way to fix that.

Downgrading to 2.20 solved this issue. so it seems something is wrong with 2.21 ? 🤔

Will there be a new release for the fix? 2.20 is not working on my android project

Hello,
Yes, I have scheduled a release for this Nov 28 (Sunday)

Just to get you all in context.
The issue came into scene as we are unable to rebuild the static_lib variant of Viro.

Last time, when we made some changes to the iOS native side we were only able to build the library but the mentioned variant.

The static_lib has too many issues due the way the GVR was striped out.

So in the next release it will be removed, solving all this linking problems.

Edit:
If you use the another variant of the library (not the static_lib) it should work.

Great news @doranteseduardo you are welcome 🙏

I follow the submit for testing when it was released.

The fix is ready, however I'd appreciate if you help testing out!
I'm about to upload an update and I need your help to test the iOS side just to be sure it's working as expected.

• Install viro normally, then download this:
  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KDGjqWbjFqh4dQeCyiV2Le9VqXKRttmt/view?usp=sharing

• Put its contents in the corresponding path in node_modules.

• Modify your Podfile, replace this:
  pod 'ViroKit_static_lib', :path => '../node_modules/@viro-community/react-viro/ios/dist/ViroRenderer/static_lib'

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

• Run "pod install" in the ios folder.

• Run your app.

You should not have any issue on iOS anymore and also, ViroVideo must be working again.

I'd appreciate your feedback, if this test goes well it will be deployed into npm soon.

Thanks in advance!

Hi I just test it in my own app and it is working without any issue for the moment.

I just try also in starter kit and it is working as expected.

No more UIManager error.

Nice job :)

I will give a try on android in these days to see if it is also working.

Hi @doranteseduardo I have also tested it and it works. Thank you! When it will be published?

[doranteseduardo]

I'm working on some changes repository-level (due lfs) to publish this as soon as possible.

[doranteseduardo]

v2.22.0 is now in NPM and it fixes the iOS issues.
Thank you all for your time and support!

Note:
We have issues with the Github platform so the latest changes and the release may take few days to hit here.
