Description

This PR cleans up after the Swift drop.

Closes https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens-labs/issues/1706

Changes

  • Remove all #if defined(__cplusplus) and #ifdef __cplusplus checks (also remove the #else paths)
  • Remove the ios/RNScreens-Bridging-Header.h file
  • Update TVOSExample/ios/Podfile so that it no longer requires scripts/ios/rns_set_swift_compilation_flags

Test plan

  • Check if FabricExample builds correctly
  • Check if TVOSExample pods install correctly
  • Check if TVOSExample builds (CI: tv-os-build-test.yml)
  • Check whether a Swift consumer (import RNScreens, e.g. expo-router Link Preview) still compiles

Caution

This PR may not be the right approach. If someone imports RNScreens from code compiled as ObjC or Swift, it may fail to compile, as described in PR 4224. If that is the case, it will be necessary to revert this script. This must be checked before merging.

Checklist

  • Included code example that can be used to test this change.
  • For visual changes, included screenshots / GIFs / recordings documenting the change.
  • For API changes, updated relevant public types.
  • Ensured that CI passes

Keep an Objective-C-compatible fallback for non-Objective-C++ imports.

RNScreens.podspec defines a module that includes ios/**/*.h, so RNSSearchBar.h can be parsed outside .mm files. React Native 0.87.0-rc.3 exposes unguarded facebook::react types in RCTViewComponentView.h. A pure .m import, and the resulting Swift module import, can therefore fail to parse. Guard the Fabric declaration or retain the fallback.

Clang Objective-C cannot use C++ standard library std::vector in .m header import CocoaPods source_files public headers DEFINES_MODULE module map

💡 Result:

Using C++ types like std::vector in Objective-C (.h) header files often leads to compilation errors because Objective-C compilers do not natively understand C++ syntax [1][2][3]. When you add DEFINES_MODULE = YES or use modular headers in CocoaPods, this issue is exacerbated because Clang attempts to build a module map, causing the compiler to process public headers in isolation, where C++ features are not recognized unless the files are specifically treated as Objective-C++ [4][5][6]. To resolve this while maintaining a clean public API, use one of the following strategies: 1. Opaque Pointers (Recommended): Hide the C++ dependency from the header entirely. In your.h file, use a forward declaration or a void pointer (e.g., typedef void* MyVectorRef), and handle the actual std::vector logic within the.mm implementation file [1][4][7]. 2. Preprocessor Guards: If you must expose C++ types, wrap them in #ifdef cplusplus blocks [1]. This hides the code from the Objective-C compiler while making it available to Objective-C++ (.mm) files [1][7]. @interface MyClass: NSObject #ifdef cplusplus - (void)processVector:(std::vector&)vec; #endif @end 3. Modular Header Configuration: If you are using CocoaPods, setting DEFINES_MODULE = YES requires all public headers to be compatible with modular compilation [5][6]. If your headers contain C++, you may need to: - Move C++-dependent headers out of the public headers list (s.public_header_files) [8][6]. - Only include headers in s.source_files that can be compiled as Objective-C++. - Use the preserve_paths option in your podspec to keep C++ headers available for your implementation files without forcing them into the public module map [6]. Ultimately, pure Objective-C (.m) files cannot import or use C++ directly [2][3]. Ensure that any file referencing your C++-containing header is compiled as Objective-C++ (.mm), or strictly encapsulate C++ code behind a clean Objective-C interface that exposes only C-compatible types [1][4][2].

Guard C++ declarations from Objective-C module consumers.

RNScreens.podspec includes all ios/**/*.h files in a module. Objective-C and Swift module consumers can therefore parse RNSFormSheetDetentResolver.h, where the unconditional <vector> import and std::vector<double> parameter can cause compilation or import failures. Guard the C++ import and declaration with #if defined(__cplusplus). Apply the same treatment to the existing C++ declarations in RNSFormSheetHostComponentView.h and RNSFormSheetProviders.h.

Guard the C++ declarations in RNSFormSheetDetentResolver.h. RNScreens.podspec exposes all ios/**/*.h files in its module. This header imports <vector> and declares std::vector<double>, which can prevent Objective-C and Swift consumers from importing RNScreens.

Guard the C++ declarations in the public headers.

RNScreens defines a module from ios/**/*.h, and these headers contain unguarded namespace react and react::LayoutMetrics declarations. Swift and Objective-C consumers can fail to import the module on iOS and tvOS. Wrap the C++ declarations and properties in #ifdef __cplusplus in RNSScreen.h and RNSFullWindowOverlay.h.

CocoaPods podspec source_files headers public_header_files default public headers framework modules Swift import

💡 Result:

In CocoaPods, the source_files and public_header_files attributes define which files are included in your Pod and which are exposed as public API to consumers [1][2]. Source Files and Public Headers - source_files: This attribute defines the primary file list for your Pod [2]. It includes source code files (e.g.,.swift,.m,.mm,.c,.cpp) and headers (.h) [1][3]. - public_header_files: This attribute explicitly lists the headers that are exposed to the user's project and used for documentation generation [1][4]. - Default Behavior: If public_header_files is not specified, CocoaPods defaults to making all headers found in source_files public [1][4]. If you specify public_header_files, only those matching patterns are considered public; others are treated as private or project headers [2][3]. Swift and Module Imports - Swift Modules: When using use_frameworks!, CocoaPods builds your Pod as a framework [5]. Swift handles visibility through modules, not just header files [6]. - Public API in Swift: In a Swift-only or mixed-language Pod, public headers are less relevant because Swift visibility is controlled by the public or open access modifiers within the source code itself. However, for interoperability, CocoaPods generates a module map [7][8]. - Umbrella Headers: CocoaPods automatically generates an umbrella header for frameworks [6][8]. This umbrella header typically includes all public headers [6]. - Importing in Swift: When a Pod is built as a module, you import it using import PodName in Swift [6][5]. The module map instructs the compiler on which headers are part of the module's public interface [7]. If your Pod is not modular, Swift may not see it as a module, often requiring use_modular_headers! in your Podfile [9]. Best Practices - Explicitly define public headers if you intend to hide implementation details from consumers, as the default "all headers are public" approach can lead to accidental exposure of internal APIs [6]. - Ensure your public headers are self-contained [6]. - If you encounter issues importing a non-modular Pod in Swift, enable use_modular_headers! for that dependency in your Podfile [9]. If you have complex module requirements, you can provide a custom module_map in your podspec [7][8].

Keep the stack component headers importable from Swift.

RCTViewComponentView.h exposes unguarded facebook::react fields and method parameters. Direct import and inheritance can therefore break Swift module generation. Use a Swift-safe base-view wrapper for all five stack component views. Guard the two descriptor imports and state declarations with #if defined(__cplusplus).

Objective-C modules Swift import public header RCTViewComponentView C++ __cplusplus header facade

💡 Result:

Implementing React Native Fabric components (which rely on RCTViewComponentView) directly in pure Swift is not currently supported due to deep C++ dependencies in the Fabric interface [1]. Fabric component interfaces are largely defined in C++ and lack the direct interoperability required for Swift to inherit from these classes [1]. To bridge this gap, the recommended architectural pattern is to implement an Objective-C++ wrapper as a facade [1]. This facade handles the C++ communication and interacts with your Swift implementation [1]. 1. Objective-C++ Facade: Create an Objective-C class (e.g., YourComponent) that inherits from RCTViewComponentView [1][2]. This file must be an.mm (Objective-C++) file to allow for the inclusion of C++ headers and the use of the cplusplus directive [1][3]. 2. Bridging and Interop: The Objective-C++ wrapper acts as the interface layer [1]. You can hold an instance of your Swift component within this class and forward method calls (such as updateProps:oldProps:) from the Fabric lifecycle methods to your Swift implementation [1]. 3. Exposure to Swift: To ensure your Swift code can see the necessary Objective-C classes (like RCTViewComponentView), include the header in your project's Objective-C bridging header [4][5]. Conversely, ensure your Swift class is exposed to Objective-C by marking it with the @objc attribute [6]. 4. C++ Facade Pattern: In your Objective-C++ file, you can guard C++-specific code using #ifdef cplusplus [3]. This allows you to include React Native's C++ components (e.g., Props.h, EventEmitters.h) while maintaining a clean interface for the parts of the code that interface with your Swift classes [3][2]. This approach effectively creates a facade where the Objective-C++ layer manages the rigid C++ Fabric requirements, while the Swift implementation handles your application logic [1].

site:github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens RNSReactBaseView.h Swift RNScreens

💡 Result:

RNSReactBaseView.h is an Objective-C header file used in the react-native-screens library for iOS [1][2][3][4]. It defines a base class, RNSReactBaseView, which serves as a common parent for several native view components within the library, such as RNSScreenView, RNSScreenContainerView, RNSScreenStackHeaderConfig, and RNSFullWindowOverlay [1][2][3][4][5]. The existence of RNSReactBaseView.h and its associated components is primarily tied to the legacy architecture of react-native-screens [6]. Recent development efforts, particularly in 2026, have focused on migrating to newer architectures, including Fabric and modern C++-based components, which has led to the removal of legacy architecture-related code and the refinement of header files [6][7]. Regarding the intersection of RNSReactBaseView and Swift: 1. Compatibility Issues: In the past, the inclusion of React Native-related headers (like those derived from or related to RNSReactBaseView) in public headers caused significant compilation issues when consuming react-native-screens in Swift projects [8][9]. This occurred because the Swift compiler's Clang importer would attempt to process React symbols (which are often C++-based) that Swift does not support [8][9]. 2. Resolution: To fix this, maintainers have implemented guards (e.g., #if defined(cplusplus)) around React-dependent code in public headers [8]. This hides these symbols from the Swift compiler while keeping them available for Objective-C++ files, ensuring that RNScreens remains compatible with Swift consumers even when using prebuilt XCFrameworks [8]. If you are encountering issues related to RNSReactBaseView in a Swift context, it is likely related to these architectural transitions or header exposure configurations; ensuring your project is updated to the latest version of react-native-screens is the recommended resolution [8].

Swift Clang importer Objective-C header C++ type __cplusplus public framework header compile error

💡 Result:

The compile errors you are encountering when mixing Swift, Objective-C headers, and C++ occur because the Swift Clang importer treats header files as C (or Objective-C) by default [1][2]. When these headers contain C++ syntax (such as templates, namespaces, or C++ standard library includes) or are included within an extern "C" linkage block, the compiler produces errors [3][1][4][2]. To resolve these issues, use the following strategies: 1. Guard C++ Syntax with cplusplus Ensure that any C++-specific code in your public headers is wrapped in conditional compilation guards [1][2]. This prevents the Swift Clang importer from attempting to parse C++ syntax when it is treating the header as C/Objective-C [1]. #ifdef cplusplus extern "C" { #endif // Your C++ code or C++-dependent headers here #ifdef cplusplus } #endif 2. Protect extern "C" Blocks A common error arises when C++ headers (like or <stddef.h>) are included inside an extern "C" block [3][4][5]. Move such includes outside of the extern "C" block, or wrap them in preprocessor logic to use the C version when C++ is not defined [3][4]. // Example fix #include <stdint.h> // Move non-C++-specific includes out of the block if possible #ifdef cplusplus extern "C" { #endif //... #ifdef cplusplus } #endif 3. Enable C++ Interoperability If your project requires full C++ usage, ensure that C++ interoperability is correctly enabled in your build system [6][7]. In Xcode, this is found under Swift Compiler - Language settings; set "C++ and Objective-C Interoperability" to "C++ and Objective-C++" [6][7]. In Swift Package Manager, you may need to add.interoperabilityMode(.Cxx) to your target's swiftSettings [8][2]. 4. Distinguish between Header Usage If you are trying to share headers between Objective-C and C++ codebases, remember that Objective-C++ (.mm) allows for C++ syntax directly [7], whereas pure Objective-C (.m) and Swift imports require strict C-compatible interfaces [1]. For complex C++ APIs, consider creating a dedicated C wrapper layer that only exposes pure C types and functions to Swift, effectively hiding the C++ complexity behind an extern "C" boundary [7]. For additional context on why these errors occur, the Swift compiler's Clang importer maintains a specific view of headers to support module imports, and idiosyncrasies regarding how C++ namespaces and members are imported into the ObjC module can sometimes lead to cryptic compiler errors [9]. If you are working with generated code (e.g., from tools like llhttp or custom build scripts), ensure the generator is updated to emit these guards automatically [4][5].

💡 Result:

RCTViewComponentView is a core class in React Native's Fabric architecture, located in the framework's iOS implementation [1]. It serves as the base class for native component views that are managed by the Fabric renderer [2][3]. Key details regarding RCTViewComponentView include: Function and Role: It acts as the foundational Objective-C++ class that bridges React Native components to native iOS views [1]. Many specialized native components in Fabric, such as RCTActivityIndicatorViewComponentView, RCTModalHostViewComponentView, and RCTLegacyViewManagerInteropComponentView, inherit from RCTViewComponentView [2][3]. Implementation: It implements the RCTComponentViewProtocol, which defines the interface for native components to interact with the Fabric mounting layer [1][2]. This protocol manages operations such as updating props, layout metrics, state, and child component mounting/unmounting [2][3]. Technical Characteristics: - File Location: It is defined in the React Native repository under packages/react-native/React/Fabric/Mounting/ComponentViews/View/ [1]. - Responsibilities: It handles standard view-related properties such as background colors, borders, shadows, and layout updates [1]. - Integration: It manages native view sub-containers and various layers required to render React Native components effectively on iOS [1]. In summary, RCTViewComponentView is the standard base implementation for native views within React Native's modern Fabric architecture [1][3].

Restore a Swift-safe facade for the tabs component headers.

RNScreens.podspec includes these headers in the module source set. Their direct RCTViewComponentView imports expose React Native Fabric C++ declarations to Swift. The bottom-accessory header also exposes an unguarded facebook::react return type. Restore the __cplusplus guard and UIView facade for all three headers, then validate import RNScreens from a built pod or XCFramework consumer.

In `@ios/tabs/bottom-accessory/RNSTabsBottomAccessoryComponentView.h` at line 3,
The three affected
headers—ios/tabs/bottom-accessory/RNSTabsBottomAccessoryComponentView.h:3,
ios/tabs/host/RNSTabsHostComponentView.h:3, and
ios/tabs/screen/RNSTabsScreenComponentView.h:4—must restore the Swift-safe
UIView facade: guard React Native Fabric imports and C++-typed declarations with
__cplusplus, while exposing UIView-compatible declarations to Swift. Ensure the
bottom-accessory header’s facebook::react return type is likewise guarded, then
validate import RNScreens from a built pod or XCFramework consumer.
