App crash after Archive IOS in XCode v15.4 15f31d for apps/tester-app on repack v4.3.3

[doiya46]

Describe the bug

I have to update my project from react-native: 0.71.19 to 0.74.5. I used template super-app-showcase https://github.com/callstack/super-app-showcase . Because the Android Play Store requires the app to be built with at least API 34, I need support to archive iOS for apps/tester-app so I can updated my project and release my app on the Apple Store

I updated repack to v4.3.3 and react-native to 0.74.5. I released Android App Bundles, everything work well with android (I release Android in my Ubuntu PC). With iOS, I run debug and release (the command like: pnpm ios and pnpm ios:release), it also work well.

But when I run Archive in XCode v15.4 15f31d, app release crash immediately after start.

To reproduce: I use Repack tag v4.3.3. Application after Archive in xCode crash with real device and simulator.

I also tested using React Native CLI to initialize an app with React Native 0.74.5 without Re.pack to verify whether my archive steps work, and after archiving, it worked well on both a real device and the simulator.

Re.Pack Version

4.3.3

Reproduction

https://github.com/callstack/repack/releases/tag/%40callstack%2Frepack-init%404.3.3

Steps to reproduce

Install

git clone https://github.com/callstack/repack.git
cd repack
# Checkout tag `v4.3.3`
git checkout 039acb7
export REPACK_ROOT=$(pwd)
# My pnpm is same version with package.json["packageManager": "[email protected]"] (npm i -g [email protected] && pnpm -v = 9.5.0)
pnpm install
cd $REPACK_ROOT/apps/tester-app && pnpm bundle:ios
cd $REPACK_ROOT/apps/tester-app/ios && bundle install && bundle exec pod install
open $REPACK_ROOT/apps/tester-app/ios/TesterApp.xcworkspace

Archive In XCode

1. Check `Supported Destination` to iPhone in General tab
2. Then change `Bundle identifier` to my bundle and import my `Provisioning profile` in Signing & Capabilities tab

Case simulator:
3. Run Product -> Archive (Any iOS Simulator Device (arm64, x86_64))
3.1. Open app by (Show package content -> Products -> Applications -> ReactTestApp.app) and drag drop to stated simulator
3.2 Start app in simulator and App crash after start

Case real device:
4. Run Product -> Archive (Any iOS Device (arm64))
4.1. Open app by (Show package content -> Products -> Applications -> ReactTestApp.app) to My iPhone by select menu Window -> Devices and Simulators then drag drop to my iPhone in Devices tab.
4.2 Start app in my iPhone and App crash after start

Note: I run debug by command pnpm ios and pnpm ios:release in apps/tester-app, all of them work well on the simulator.

cd repack
export REPACK_ROOT=$(pwd)
# Start host in other terminal: cd $REPACK_ROOT/apps/tester-app && pnpm start
cd $REPACK_ROOT/apps/tester-app && pnpm ios
# or
cd $REPACK_ROOT/apps/tester-app && pnpm ios:release

Has anyone fixed it yet?

@doiya46 tried reproducing on a new app created through @callstack/repack-init but everything is working as expected - please provide a minimal reproduction repository that showcases that there is a problem with the Re.Pack itself and not just the configuration of your project, thanks!

Thanks @jbroma, It worked with npx react-native@latest init TestApp --skip-install --version 0.74.5 and npx @callstack/repack-init.

I think it's because I based it on super-app-showcase/tree/repack-v4, so when updating the package, the configuration might have changed and different with @callstack/repack-init. I will try reinitializing the host and config with npx @callstack/repack-init. I’ll also recheck the repack-v4 branch in super-app-showcase to create a minimal reproduction repository, but it may take more time.
