Conversation
iOS builds have been failing since the last green build in May, in two
different ways that turn out to share one cause: Expo's precompiled
RNWorklets XCFramework.
1. Cold builds could not archive:
Pods/Headers/Private/RNReanimated/.../UIRuntimeDecorator.h:6:10
'worklets/Compat/StableApi.h' file not found
** ARCHIVE FAILED **
RNReanimated compiles from source, but RNWorklets was consumed as a
precompiled XCFramework whose headers are only put in place by the
"[Expo] Switch RNWorklets XCFramework for build configuration" script
phase. That phase is not an input dependency of RNReanimated's
compile, so the two race and reanimated loses. Warm builds hid it by
restoring a Pods cache that already had the headers, so any change to
the native fingerprint failed while an unchanged rebuild passed.
2. Builds that did archive could not be exported:
IDEDistributionMethodManagerErrorDomain Code=2 "Unknown Distribution Error"
error: exportArchive exportOptionsPlist error for key "method"
expected one {} but found app-store
Xcode could not enumerate any distribution method, so the allowed set
was empty and every value was rejected -- ad-hoc and app-store alike.
Opting RNWorklets out of prebuilt modules fixes both: the archive builds
cleanly and exports to a signed .ipa.
EAS sets EXPO_USE_PRECOMPILED_MODULES=1 itself, and which modules
actually resolve to a prebuilt artifact varies per build (several 404 out
of the artifact cache and silently fall back to source), which is why
this looked intermittent rather than broken.
