Maximum call stack size exceeded when running react-native link

[aymericbouzy]

Description

What I did : I ran react-native link
I expected the command to succeed, here was the output :

rnpm-install ERR! It seems something went wrong while linking. Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded 
Please file an issue here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues 

Maximum call stack size exceeded

Reproduction

Haven't been able to reproduce yet (I can reproduce fine with my current repo, I just cannot create a broken project from a new project).

Solution

I've no idea.

Additional Information

• React Native version: 0.37 (would love to upgrade, I cannot because of Invalid layout for (1)<RCTRootContentView: 0x7bb9e0c0; reactTag: 1; frame = (0 0; 414 736); gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x7bb72450>; layer = <CALayer: 0x7bb783d0>>. position: {nan, nan}. bounds: {{0, 0}, {nan, nan}} #3406)

When running react-native link react-native-material-kit I get :

rnpm-install info Android module react-native-material-kit is already linked 
rnpm-install ERR! It seems something went wrong while linking. Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded 
Please file an issue here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues 

Maximum call stack size exceeded

Same with any other package.
It makes me think the issue is with the iOS Platform.

[aymericbouzy]

The culprit is the 'xcode' package. It fails parsing my project at line 10 of file local-cli/link/ios/isInstalled.js.

Adding a better error message would be nice.

Here is the stacktrace :

Just ran into this issue as well. How did you figure out the callstack?

[juddey]

I've got this one as well

React Native 0.40.0, OSX 10.12.3.

[aymericbouzy]

I went in the file and logged the error's stack ;)

[dxiao]

In case anybody else runs into this kind of error, ended up being my own fault. Creative insertion of console.log()'s into node_modules/react-native/local-cli/link/ios/isInstalled.js and node_modules/xcode/lib/parser/pbxproj.js showed me the issue. It turns out I had recently upgraded react-native, and while fixing merge conflicts from react-native-git-upgrade had introduced a duplicated entry into my project.pbxproj file. Once I cleared that up, everything worked fine.

[aymericbouzy]

Thanks! Any tip on finding the duplicated entry? I'm considering going through my git history to find the breaking commit and then inspect it, but maybe you have a more efficient way of doing this?

[aymericbouzy]

I used git bisect to find the commit, running react-native link at each step.
I restored the project.pbxproj to the way it was on the latest "good" commit. Indeed, I had broken the file when I had tried upgrading.
From there, I restored the project to its current state (I had not done much change to the Xcode project luckily), and everything works fine ! thanks @dxiao.

It would be nice to have file parser that helps with upgrading the Xcode project when upgrading React Native, that would at least tell if the project.pbxproj "looks fine".

[juddey]

I had duplicates in my .pbxproj too. Once I removed those and re-ran, all was fine.

[sathyakumarseshachalam]

I have removed the duplicates in my .pbxproj via xUnique. Yet I keep getting the below error

rnpm-install info Android module react-native-fbsdk is already linked
rnpm-install ERR! It seems something went wrong while linking. Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded
Please file an issue here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues

And almost sure .pbxproj is at fault here, for a couple commits back, this works without any problem, but just not able to pinpoint the problem.

PS : I come from a non-ios/xcode background

[sathyakumarseshachalam]

My bad. Had duplicate image assets. Removing them and re-running helped.

[cdesch]

Letting Xcode Update the project settings fixed the issue for me.

[jamesone]

@cdesch Can confirm that this fixed it for me! For anyone wanting to know where you can update to the recommended settings: open xcode => the left sidebar should give you the option to update the recommended settings (it should have a yellow warning symbol next to it).

Facing the same issue for lottie-react-native while linking. I am doing it for android. Any help is appreciated.

[Build100]

Opened the old project for Android. I see the same error. Fixed in package.json
"react": "16.0.0",
"react-native": "0.49.0",
App working.

SOLVED: Keeping this here if anyone else has the same issue.

Having the same issue for react-native link react-native-svg. @cdesch / @jamesone's solution didn't work for me for this issue, though it did for a different maximum stack issue?

rnpm-install info Linking react-native-svg android dependency 
rnpm-install info Android module react-native-svg has been successfully linked 
rnpm-install ERR! Something went wrong while linking. Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Deleting "Recovered References: in xcode fixes the problem for me.

[solaomosola]

Same issue, was able to fix it by deleting libRNFetchBlob.a from Recovered References. Works fine now.
