iOS build error: Import of module 'glog.glog.log_severity' appears within namespace 'google'

[iArchin]

Description

I already know that there are other similar issues of this with multiple way of fix but I'm pretty sure that I have tried them but not worked. this is how my pod file looks:

# Resolve react_native_pods.rb with node to allow for hoisting
require Pod::Executable.execute_command('node', ['-p',
  'require.resolve(
    "react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb",
    {paths: [process.argv[1]]},
  )', __dir__]).strip

platform :ios, min_ios_version_supported
prepare_react_native_project!

pod 'GoogleUtilities', :modular_headers => true

# If you are using a `react-native-flipper` your iOS build will fail when `NO_FLIPPER=1` is set.
# because `react-native-flipper` depends on (FlipperKit,...) that will be excluded
#
# To fix this you can also exclude `react-native-flipper` using a `react-native.config.js`
# ```js
# module.exports = {
#   dependencies: {
#     ...(process.env.NO_FLIPPER ? { 'react-native-flipper': { platforms: { ios: null } } } : {}),
# ```
flipper_config = ENV['NO_FLIPPER'] == "1" ? FlipperConfiguration.disabled : FlipperConfiguration.enabled
$RNMapboxMapsImpl = 'mapbox'

linkage = ENV['USE_FRAMEWORKS']
if linkage != nil
  Pod::UI.puts "Configuring Pod with #{linkage}ally linked Frameworks".green
  use_frameworks! :linkage => linkage.to_sym
end

target 'myAwesomeApp' do
  config = use_native_modules!

  # Flags change depending on the env values.
  flags = get_default_flags()

  use_react_native!(
    :path => config[:reactNativePath],
    # Hermes is now enabled by default. Disable by setting this flag to false.
    # Upcoming versions of React Native may rely on get_default_flags(), but
    # we make it explicit here to aid in the React Native upgrade process.
    :hermes_enabled => flags[:hermes_enabled],
    :fabric_enabled => flags[:fabric_enabled],
    # Enables Flipper.
    #
    # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
    # you should disable the next line.
    :flipper_configuration => flipper_config,
    # An absolute path to your application root.
    :app_path => "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/.."
  )

  target 'myAwesomeAppTests' do
    inherit! :complete
    # Pods for testing
  end

  pre_install do |installer|
    $RNMapboxMaps.pre_install(installer)
  end

  post_install do |installer|
    $RNMapboxMaps.post_install(installer)
    react_native_post_install(
      installer,
      # Set `mac_catalyst_enabled` to `true` in order to apply patches
      # necessary for Mac Catalyst builds
      :mac_catalyst_enabled => false
    )
    __apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround(installer)
  end
end

Which other issues are you referring to?

I meant This and #26217.
but actually I found the solution in #38294. I upgrade my RN version from 0.72.2 to 0.72.3 with XCode 14.2 it solved.

Closing as solved

Also happened to me with 0.73.1
XCode 14.3
@cortinico any thoughts?

[CapleaIonut-Alexandru]

I have the same issue on my expo project. Somebody know how to fix it ?

[andres-dos-santos]

same here

[paulschreiber]

@592da Did you figure this out for 0.73.x?

[nagasailokesh-toddle]

same issue. Somebody know how to fix it?

[Mahdisaghroun]

react-native: 0.73.4

Import of module 'glog.glog.log_severity' appears within namespace 'google'

[paulschreiber]

@kelset Any suggestions? This is still a problem in 0.73.4 for several folks. (Previously: #38294)

See details in our GitHub actions log.

[kelset]

@paulschreiber I'm currently not on the release crew but I would recommend opening a new issue that provides a repro so that the team can look into this issue and why it keeps resurfacing

[paulschreiber]

@kelset I don't have time to write up a new mini app with a repo case. I did get this working eventually by upgrading the GitHub actions runner from macos-latest (macOS 12) to macos-14.

Things I tried that worked, but weren't necessary:

• upgrading to Xcode 15
• disabling flipper
• using use_frameworks! :linkage => :static

im still getting this error

[codding123vbf]

If you're still experiencing this issue, consider trying this StackOverflow answer.

it didnt fix my error man...

[codding123vbf]

after installing pods and running my project on xcode i started getting this error and its not solved yet my xcode version is 14.0.1...pls help

[codding123vbf]

i have fixed this issue ....if anyone is still facing this issue reach me i will help u with it

[paulschreiber]

@codding123vbf what was your fix? My fix was upgrading my GitHub runner form macos-12 to macos-14.

[barrownicholas]

If you're using a github action, it seems that macos-latest is still on v12 (despite the Docs saying otherwise); just use:

jobs:
  build:
    name: build
    runs-on: macos-14

Edit: based on @paulschreiber 's suggestion (many thanks for this @paulschreiber !!!)
