M1 Mac IOS Build not Working

[rick427]

What happened?

When i tried running the ios part of my project after installing @react-native-ml-kit/text-recognition v1.5.2, it fails with the following error "found architecture 'arm64', required architecture 'x86_64'". The project works well on Android but fails to run and build on IOS. I tried modifying my Podfile post install like so:

`post_install do |installer|
# Existing React Native post-install steps
react_native_post_install(
installer,
config[:reactNativePath],
:mac_catalyst_enabled => false,
# :ccache_enabled => true
)

# ---- Begin Custom M1 Mac Configuration ----
# This ensures that for iOS simulator builds on M1 Macs,
# the arm64 architecture is not excluded.
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
  target.build_configurations.each do |config|
    config.build_settings["EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"] = ""
  end
end
# ---- End Custom M1 Mac Configuration ----

end`

It still didn't work

Same issue here

Hey guys, this problem exists for a really long time and google does nothing about it. There's an open issue on google tracker that has like 200 developers asking for Silicon support but noone from google has ever replied.

For your own sanity, abandon ml kit altogether on iOS and use the built in translator (very limited languages though) , works only on iOS 18+.

• https://github.com/TomAtterton/expo-translate-text
• https://github.com/huextrat/react-native-ios-translate-sheet
• https://github.com/huextrat/react-native-ios-translate-tasks

ps. You can use rosetta to run Xcode but this is terrible DX.

found the issue on google tracker, opened on 2021 hahaha what a fucking joke....

Thanks for the reply, that's very sad to hear

You can add this lines on the Podfile.

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]'] = 'arm64'
    end
  end
end

and do the pod install again.

@Strapazzon this requires Rosseta which is a no go for obvious reasons

i am getting below error when doing pod install in M4 ios

RNMLKitFaceDetection (from ../node_modules/@react-native-ml-kit/face-detection) was resolved to 1.3.2, which depends on
GoogleMLKit/FaceDetection (= 6.0.0) was resolved to 6.0.0, which depends on

MLKitCommon (~> 11.0.0) was resolved to 11.0.0, which depends on
GoogleDataTransport (< 10.0, >= 9.4.1)

Ensure modular headers for GoogleUtilities

pod 'GoogleUtilities', :modular_headers => true
pod 'FirebaseCore', :modular_headers => true
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'

post_install do |installer|
# https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb#L197-L202
react_native_post_install(
installer,
config[:reactNativePath],
:mac_catalyst_enabled => false,
# :ccache_enabled => true
)
end

does anyone found any solution for this. please share
