Update: By creating a project using an older version of React Native the error seems to go away. eg: react-native init --version="0.47.2"

[hramos]

Which version does this repro in? 2.0.1 above is the CLI version.

[dabit3]

It looks like I'm running version 2.0.1.

[hramos]

That is the CLI version. The RN version should be something like 0.48 or 0.47.1.

[dabit3]

Ah, this repros in version 0.48.1

[ntodd]

I see the exact same behavior in RN 0.49.3. Creating project with 0.47.2 worked.

[abdelilah]

Same error here, created a brand new project using RN 0.49.3. iOS works fine though.

[douglowder]

I'll take a look and see what's going on.

@dabit3 this is now fixed as of PR #16076 . Please verify and close.

@dlowder-salesforce Having the same issue with brand new RN project scaffolded using 0.50.4 — Running react-native init --version="0.47.2" works fine. Any ideas on which newer versions are capable of running on tvOS?

@dlowder-salesforce

Same issue as @cantyjeffrey - specifying an older version of RN allowed the tvOS app to build properly

[yerffejytnac]

Damn, I was hoping I was missing something obvious, @tsaiDavid — well anyway, let me know if there’s any useful info or debugging output I could provide you with to help squash this, @dlowder-salesforce 👍

[dabit3]

@dlowder-salesforce @tsaiDavid @cantyjeffrey Yes I also tested it out a few days ago and could not get it to build, but was debugging to make sure I did not do anything wrong, but as of 0.50.4 I was unable to have any luck.

[douglowder]

@dabit3 @tsaiDavid @cantyjeffrey I just did

react-native init TestApp --version facebook/react-native#master

and the tvOS target compiles and runs. So I'm guessing that the fix in #16076 just hasn't made it into any releases yet. @grabbou @hramos do you know when that fix will show up in the release train?
