Facebook Plugin not found in xCode Simulator

Hi,

I am getting an error, saying that the facebook (I tried both v4 & v4a) plugin is not found. My other plugins (e.g. openssl) works when ‘require’ is called.

I have downloaded the plugins (based on https://coronalabs.com/blog/2017/07/06/using-plugins-in-corona-native-projects-ios/), and also confirm the plugin exists in my drive ( /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/Corona/Native Plugins/iphone/plugin.facebook.v4a_com.coronalabs.tgz ).  I also updated the  Info.plist and linked the static library files.

When i try running it on iPhone7+ simulator, this error appears :

2017-10-12 00:38:14.450 App[89842:1465627] Platform: iPhone / x86\_64 / 10.3 / Apple Software Renderer / OpenGL ES 2.0 APPLE-14.0.15 / 2017.3135 / en | US | en\_US | en 2017-10-12 00:38:14.459 App[89842:1465627] ERROR: Runtime error module 'plugin.facebook.v4a' not found:resource (plugin.facebook.v4a.lu) does not exist in archive no field package.preload['plugin.facebook.v4a']

build.settings :

... plugins = { ["plugin.openssl"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", }, ["plugin.notifications"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, ["CoronaProvider.native.popup.social"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, -- ["plugin.facebook.v4"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true, ["android-kindle"]=true } }, ["plugin.facebook.v4a"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, ['plugin.qrscanner'] = {publisherId = 'com.spiralcodestudio'}, ['plugin.vibrator'] = {publisherId = 'com.spiralcodestudio'}, }, ...

Need help. What I am missing ?

Thanks

I’m having the same problem as well. Works on device but not on simulator.

Have you worked through all the “Native” requirements listed in the plugin docs?

Yes, have gone through it together with the Native portion.

Here is a short video I did using the ‘App template’ in 2017.3135

It shows the failure at the end. I am guessing the way the facebook  .a files are linked.

Ok, i found the problem. It is because the xCode was looking at an old folder which also contains related-facebook lib files. This cause the error link and others. Most likely it is because I am migrating the old app.
