Upgrading version

from=0.61.5 --> to=0.62.2

Description

I am Having multiple target in the PodFile, and according to the upgrade helper process i should put this code inside the my target for Flipper.

target 'RnDiffApp' do
...
add_flipper_pods!
post_install do |installer|
  flipper_post_install(installer)
end
...
end

Trying to add the same piece of code into my other target Prod like this:

target 'RnDiffAppProd' do
...
add_flipper_pods!
post_install do |installer|
  flipper_post_install(installer)
end
...
end

When running pod install i got the following error:

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: [!] Specifying multiple `post_install` hooks is unsupported

According to this issue 6172 CocoaPods doesn’t support multiple post_install hooks.

To solve this issue, i had to rewrite the code as below:

target 'RnDiffApp' do
....
end
target 'RnDiffAppProd' do
....
end
add_flipper_pods!
post_install do |installer|
  flipper_post_install(installer)
end

So far both my target build successfully in debug mode with flipper support.

IMO, this should be the default way to insert the post-install hook for Flipper in the upgrade helper.

Technically, I think the add_flipper_pods! should be inside each target which you want it to be used by. Moving it outside all targets will add it to all targets which, if you have a “Test” target, might not be the desired behaviour.

If your targets share the same set of pods, I would recommend defining a method to “share” the pod list:

def shared_pods
  # Core React Native libraries
  pod 'FBLazyVector', :path => "../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/FBLazyVector"
  pod 'FBReactNativeSpec', :path => "../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/FBReactNativeSpec"
  ... etc ...

  # Auto-linked pods
  use_native_modules!

  # Flipper pods
  add_flipper_pods!
end

target 'RnDiffApp' do
  shared_pods
end
target 'RnDiffAppProd' do
  shared_pods
end

post_install do |installer|
  flipper_post_install(installer)
end

Raised a PR here. Let me know if that change is sufficient.

What @matt-oakes said. Also note that CocoaPods has the notion of a ‘abstract target’ to share pods, but either solution will work for most cases.

@alloy, where does the template exist ? is it in the cli repo ? 😅

@TheSolly cool!

cc @priteshrnandgaonkar & @alloy, any thoughts on this?
