How to migrate to Xcode 12.5

I’m not able to build a React Native project, which built correctly using Xcode 11, using Xcode 12.5.

I can no longer use Xcode 11 because only more current versions of Xcode carry the necessary API to publish/upload to TestFlight and the app store.

Now I get three build errors:

Cannot initialize a parameter of type 'NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *' with an rvalue of type 'NSArray<Class> *'

Cannot initialize a parameter of type 'NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *' with an rvalue of type 'NSArray<Class> *'

Cannot initialize a parameter of type 'NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *' with an rvalue of type 'NSArray<Class> *'

I also noticed that deployment targets were automatically upgraded from 10 and 9:

- IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 9.0;
+ IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 12.1;

Some new properties were added related to Clang:

+ CLANG_ANALYZER_LOCALIZABILITY_NONLOCALIZED = YES;

How can I configure the project to deploy this app using Xcode 12.5?

    I fixed this by changing a parameter cast in the React module RCTCxxBridge.mm like so:

    - (NSArray<RCTModuleData *> *)_initializeModules:(NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *)modules
                               withDispatchGroup:(dispatch_group_t)dispatchGroup
                                lazilyDiscovered:(BOOL)lazilyDiscovered

    To:

    - (NSArray<RCTModuleData *> *)_initializeModules:(NSArray<Class> *)modules
                               withDispatchGroup:(dispatch_group_t)dispatchGroup
                                lazilyDiscovered:(BOOL)lazilyDiscovered

    I am running 0.59 and not using CocoaPods, but the basic fix is that casts of the form:

    NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *)modules

    Should be replaced with:

    NSArray<Class> *)modules

    This one worked for me.

    1. Open RCTCxxBridge.mm (line 770) and change parameter type from: (NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *)modules to (NSArray<Class> *)modules
    2. Open RCTTurboModuleManager.mm (line 300) and change from:
      RCTBridgeModuleNameForClass(module)) to RCTBridgeModuleNameForClass(Class(module)));

    This one worked for me. Update the PODFILE with:

    post_install do |installer|
    ## Fix for XCode 12.5 beta
    find_and_replace("../node_modules/react-native/React/CxxBridge/RCTCxxBridge.mm",
    "_initializeModules:(NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *)modules", "_initializeModules:(NSArray<Class> *)modules")
end

    And at the end of podfile add a function:

    def find_and_replace(dir, findstr, replacestr)
  Dir[dir].each do |name|
      text = File.read(name)
      replace = text.gsub(findstr,replacestr)
      if text != replace
          puts "Fix: " + name
          File.open(name, "w") { |file| file.puts replace }
          STDOUT.flush
      end
  end
  Dir[dir + '*/'].each(&method(:find_and_replace))
end

    The last step if to run:

    pod install

    i’ve faced the same issue and after using this script the problem was solved for this three error but faced a new one (No matching function for call to ‘RCTBridgeModuleNameForClass’)

    which was solved by adding this line in the postinstall script

    Fix for XCode 12.5 beta

    post_install do |installer|

find_and_replace("../node_modules/react-native/React/CxxBridge/RCTCxxBridge.mm",
"_initializeModules:(NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *)modules", "_initializeModules:(NSArray<Class> *)modules")

find_and_replace("../node_modules/react- 
native/ReactCommon/turbomodule/core/platform/ios/RCTTurboModuleManager.mm",
"RCTBridgeModuleNameForClass(module))", 
"RCTBridgeModuleNameForClass(Class(module)))")

    I had the same problem with Xcode 13.1. But I resolved the problem with this method.
