ReactNativeNavigationModule not found.

What happened?

In react-native 0.77.x using react-native-navigation 8.1.0, the build failed with ReactNativeNavigation module not found on AppDelegate.swift file.

What was the expected behaviour?

No response

Was it tested on latest react-native-navigation?

• I have tested this issue on the latest react-native-navigation release and it still reproduces.

Help us reproduce this issue!

In what environment did this happen?

Device model:

I am facing the same issue:

Steps I took:

npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init test --version 0.77.2
yarn add react-native-navigation@8.1.0
npx rnn-link
cd ios && pod install

Result: Build fails with error: no such module 'ReactNativeNavigation'

If I experiment with things like use_frameworks! :static or modular headers, the build gets past that point but then explodes with a bunch of other compile errors.

Same here. Also tried to tweak the Podfile and also tried use_frameworks!: static but broke further down.

I also tried to replace AppDelegate.swift with AppDelegate.mm/h, but I'm not sure what to put inside the .mm.

Also facing this issue.
Xcode: 16.3
React Native Navigation version: 8.1.0
React Native version: 0.77.0

Steps to reproduce
Just ran npx @react-native-community/cli init AwesomeProject --version 0.77 and followed the manual ios instructions
https://wix.github.io/react-native-navigation/docs/installing

During pod install phase this pops up

ReactNativeNavigation: Objective-C AppDelegate detected - using standard configuration
Downloading dependencies
Installing HMSegmentedControl (1.5.6)
Installing React-Codegen (0.1.0)
Installing ReactNativeNavigation (8.1.0)

The AppDelegate file is swift, not Objective-C, this could be incorrect.

Did anyone manage to fix this?

[dcoulter45]

Managed to fix this by switching back to an obj-c AppDelegate. Might work for some, but I've got other plugins like react-native-maps that break after switching back to obj-c.

@dcoulter45 Thanks for the patch. It fixes the error ReactNativeNavigationModule not found.
