[BUG]: requireNativeComponent: "RCTVideo" was not found in the UIManager

[ZakirBangash]

Version

React-native-video 6.0.0-rc.0
React Native 0.71.14

What platforms are you having the problem on?

IOS

Architecture

Old architecture

What happened?

When video component start mounting, we are getting this error, folks have suggested to remove this line use_frameworks! :linkage => :static , but we don't think it would be safe to remove, as we are using firebase , and firebase recommends through it's doc to have this line

Reproduction

Install 6.0.0-rc.0
Run IOS,
when video start mounting , we are getting this error

It seems the issue came up with this PR.

Removing Podfile.lock and running pod install shows the following error:

Specs satisfying the `react-native-video (from `../node_modules/react-native-video`)` dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

Adding platform :ios, '13.0' to your project Podfile, setting Minimum Deployment to 13 in Xcode and setting iOS Deployment Target to 13 fixes the issue for me.

[ZakirBangash]

Are you using firebase? if you are using you would have this line use_frameworks! :linkage => :static in podFile, I saw somewhere where folk suggested to remove this, but no luck with me, can you confirm did you have this in podFile

[ZakirBangash]

Thank you @freeboub for your suggestions , I did remove flipper configuration and remove use_frameworks! :linkage => :static then I can't able to build the app, it give me error undefined symbol facebook::jsi::HostObject,

Let me share my podFile.

@baddda do you correctly remove the lines from your podfile ?
see: https://react-native-video.github.io/react-native-video/updating

[freeboub]

@ZakirBangash I will try to add firebase in the sample app.
BTW: are you able to reproduce with a very basic sample ? If yes, it would be usefull to provide it

[jeandiasl]

I also use Firebase and managed to solve the problem by adding this snippet in PODFILE to replace the minimum version for compilation.

MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE = '13.0'
if Gem::Version.new(MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE) > Gem::Version.new(min_ios_version_supported)
min_ios_version_supported = MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE
end

existing code

platform :ios, min_ios_version_supported

[ZakirBangash]

@jeandiasl thank you bro it worked for me too 🙌

So this is not an library issue - library requires now iOS >= 13.0 (I think from RN 0.73 this is also required) so you need to bump this in your app

THANK YOU!!!! This fixed it for us. Let's add this to documentation.

[KrzysztofMoch]

I will add this to docs (in updating section) and maybe to README

platform :ios, '13.0' yields this list of errors with react [email protected], [email protected].

Which xcode version do you use ?

[shahjahanpak]

14.2

[freeboub]

@shahjahanpak You need to update your xcode !

Hey, this issue was coming because of mismatch of react-native-video version with react-native. In Expo, we cant update the required version ourselves, but in native build environment, I set the following versions and it started working smoothly.
"react": "^18.2.0",
"react-native": "^0.72.1",
"react-native-video": "^5.2.1",
"react-native-svg": "13.9.0"

[hpanwar521]

I am facing this issue in android my react native version is 0.73.5 and react-native-video version is 6.4.5 how can I solve this please help

[freeboub]

@hpanwar521 @prajwal0231 can you provide a sample reproducing the issue ?

Facing the same issue on android

I resolved the issue related to RCTVideo not being found in UIManager. Initially, I was performing a Gradle sync, but react-native-video was not showing up in the dependencies:

I was repeatedly encountering this error. To resolve it, I closed all applications, shut down Android Studio, removed the project from recent files, and then reopened the project from scratch. This allowed the dependencies to be properly mapped, and react-native-video started appearing in the packages. After creating a fresh build, the project started working fine. The issue is now resolved.

MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE = '13.0' if Gem::Version.new(MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE) > Gem::Version.new(min_ios_version_supported) min_ios_version_supported = MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE end

existing code

platform :ios, min_ios_version_supported

This works, but when you run pod update or pod install, you get this warning at the end

[!] Automatically assigning platform `iOS` with version `15.6` on target `Gotedo` because no platform was specified. Please specify a platform for this target in your Podfile. See `https://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podfile.html#platform`

To fix this warning update as follows:

Existing Code

MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE = '13.0'
if Gem::Version.new(MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE) > Gem::Version.new(min_ios_version_supported)
min_ios_version_supported = MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE
end

Updated Code

MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE = '13.0'
if Gem::Version.new(MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE) > Gem::Version.new(min_ios_version_supported)
platform :ios, min_ios_version_supported = MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE
end
