Hey @Joshfindit, thanks for reporting this! It looks like we may have accidentally set realm@10.19.0-alpha.0 as the default npm version, we will fix this now, but in the meantime could you please try using the latest stable version, npm i realm@10.17.0?

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!

@tomduncalf That did fix it, thank you

If you’re open to it I’d also suggest a CI test based on the very basic steps from my report. It would likely make sure that this issue does not reappear.

The npm issue should now be fixed @Joshfindit. Thanks again for reporting!

I am facing the same issue with the Realm JS SDK Version: 10.7.0. I tried all the steps provided by @Przytua but had no success. I faced clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) for librealm-js-ios.a

A minimum CocoaPods version has been added to the docs (1.10.1) : https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/sdk/react-native/install/ - and I’ll discuss with the team, if prerequisites shouldn’t just be listed in the readme.

Just to sum up: Update CocoaPods to version 1.10.1 (thanks again to @Przytua).

@kneth tried without --repo-update and as others have said, still seeing the same issue.

@kneth I also experiencing the same issue without -repo-update

@kneth I’m also experiencing this issue and with or without the —repo-update flag makes no difference, at least in my situation.
