React Native app purely in Swift

If you're having trouble with the imports

#import "RCTBridgeModule.h"
#import "RCTBridge.h"
#import "RCTEventDispatcher.h"
#import "RCTRootView.h"
#import "RCTUtils.h"
#import "RCTConvert.h"

try

#import <React/RCTBridgeModule.h>
#import <React/RCTBridge.h>
#import <React/RCTEventDispatcher.h>
#import <React/RCTRootView.h>
#import <React/RCTUtils.h>
#import <React/RCTConvert.h>

This excellent post helped me solving the problem.

Solution

1. Add Bridging Header

#import "RCTBridgeModule.h"
#import "RCTBridge.h"
#import "RCTEventDispatcher.h"
#import "RCTRootView.h"
#import "RCTUtils.h"
#import "RCTConvert.h"

2. Add AppDelegate.Swift

var bridge: RCTBridge!

  func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    /**
     * Loading JavaScript code - uncomment the one you want.
     *
     * OPTION 1
     * Load from development server. Start the server from the repository root:
     *
     * $ npm start
     *
     * To run on device, change `localhost` to the IP address of your computer
     * (you can get this by typing `ifconfig` into the terminal and selecting the
     * `inet` value under `en0:`) and make sure your computer and iOS device are
     * on the same Wi-Fi network.
     */

    let jsCodeLocation = NSURL(string: "http://localhost:8081/index.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true")

    /**
     * OPTION 2
     * Load from pre-bundled file on disk. The static bundle is automatically
     * generated by "Bundle React Native code and images" build step.
     */

    // jsCodeLocation = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("main", withExtension: "jsbundle")

    let rootView = RCTRootView(bundleURL:jsCodeLocation as URL!, moduleName: "PropertyFinder", initialProperties: nil, launchOptions:launchOptions)

    self.bridge = rootView?.bridge

    self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
    let rootViewController = UIViewController()

    rootViewController.view = rootView

    self.window!.rootViewController = rootViewController;
    self.window!.makeKeyAndVisible()

    return true
  }

3. Remove the AppDelegate.h, AppDelegate.m and the main file.

4. Clean and build your project.

This actually works for me:

import Foundation

import UIKit

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
  var window: UIWindow?
  var bridge: RCTBridge!

  func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    let jsCodeLocation: URL

    jsCodeLocation = RCTBundleURLProvider.sharedSettings().jsBundleURL(forBundleRoot: "index.ios", fallbackResource:nil)
    let rootView = RCTRootView(bundleURL: jsCodeLocation, moduleName: "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_PROJECT_NAME", initialProperties: nil, launchOptions: launchOptions)
    let rootViewController = UIViewController()
    rootViewController.view = rootView

    self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
    self.window?.rootViewController = rootViewController
    self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()

    return true
  }
}
