When developing React Native applications, encountering build errors can be a common hurdle. One such error that has been reported by developers using Xcode 12 is the ‘atomic_notify_one<unsigned long>’ is unavailable error. This guide will walk you through a solution to resolve this issue effectively.

Understanding the Issue

This error typically arises when building a React Native app on Xcode after an update, often linked with Flipper, a debugging tool integrated into React Native projects. The error indicates a problem with the Flipper-Folly library used in the project.

Solution Overview

Instead of disabling Flipper entirely, which can be a temporary workaround, a more robust solution involves updating the Flipper dependencies in your project’s Podfile. Follow the steps below to implement the solution:

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open your project’s Podfile located in the ios directory.
  2. Update the Flipper configuration as follows:
  3. use_flipper!({ 'Flipper-Folly' => '2.5.3', 'Flipper' => '0.87.0', 'Flipper-RSocket' => '1.3.1' })
  4. Navigate to the ios folder in your terminal and run the following command to update your CocoaPods repository:
  5. pod repo update
  6. Install the updated pods by executing:
  7. pod install

Additional Considerations

Ensure that your Xcode is up to date and compatible with the React Native version you are using. Sometimes, upgrading or downgrading Xcode might help if the issue persists.
