[Bug]: Expo SDK 49

[ThibaultBee]

Hi,
Thank for reporting this issue.
This is something we are aware of but the solution is not easy.

I started to upgrade the project with new architecture and new RN version in #67
But I am kind of stuck for now.

[ThibaultBee]

Thanks @BlueBazze for the answer.

As long as Fabric does not support swift and openssl 3, there won't unfortunately be anything released.

[BlueBazze]

The dev is done. I will tackle a last issue with the Android preview.

But... the release is not ready yet. We are expecting feedbacks/tests from the community before releasing. See #67

I've set a few days within the next 10 days for testing, hopefully before this friday.
I imagine that ill create a demo expo app that you can have afterwards if you want it.

Since this issue was created Expo has been updated to SDK 50 being the latest at the moment.
SDK 50 has updated to React Native 0.73 and support for older versions than SDK 49 has been dropped.

I'll look further into this when i get the time if it has not been resolved.
If there are any questions, or explanation need. I will happily answer.

Hi, Is there an update? We tried to get everything working but unfortunately it's not working. :-( Do you know if downgrading to expo 38 will help?

[BlueBazze]

@b4rtt Downgrading to 38 will yeet you into 2019.

This library works with SDK 48. I am using this version.
Unfortunately this project needs to support fabric to be used in SDK 49 or higher.

having the same issue, any updates?

@ThibaultBee do we have any luck yet? is there any alternative or workaround right now that is as good as this?

@BlueBazze

I have fixed this issue in #67

[BlueBazze]

Cool. What did you end up doing about OpenSSL?

Noticed you mentioned some annoyances with iOS in #67. I have a few days available next week if you want any help.

[ThibaultBee]

I made a single large shared library librtmpdroid.so that embed libssl.so and libcrypto.so instead of having multiple shared libraries.
The counterpart is that the RN library will embed twice libssl.so and libcrypto.so, so the application will be larger.

Cool, I would appreciate if you could help on the iOS new arch. 🙏

@ThibaultBee I've played around with it.
Havent been able to get the project started.
Keep getting The Swift pod "react-native-livestream" depends upon "glog", which does not define modules.
Tomorrow i will try to initiate a new objc module and try to get it working there.
Hopefully it can work. Cause Haishinkit has some strong opinions about objc.

Btw, i found this package that uses swift and seems to have a working bridge. https://github.com/mateusz1913/react-native-avoid-softinput/blob/main/packages/react-native-avoid-softinput/ReactNativeAvoidSoftinput.podspec

[ThibaultBee]

oh, thanks. I had a look on the project, there might a start of a solution

Unfortunately, on my side, it seems that RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED is never defined when I try to build for the new arch even when I use RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 bundle exec pod install
🤷

This new architecture is really a pain to implement :(

Edit:
Seems like files must have the mm extension instead of the m extension. 🤦
