[iOS] : withAppsFlyerAppDelegate: Swift AppDelegate file is not supported yet

[Nayan-Infynno]

React Native Expo

Package Versions:

"expo": "^53.0.17",
"react-native": "0.79.5",
"react-native-appsflyer": "^6.17.1",

I'm upgrading to the latest version of Expo; in SDK 53, it's not working.
While pre-building the project, I got this kind of warning.

1. withAppsFlyerAppDelegate file is not supported with the swift AppDelegate file

This warning shows while app prebuilding.

2. Also, appsFlyer.onDeepLink Method is not called

    appsFlyer.initSdk(
      {
        devKey: "YOUR_DEV_KEY",
        isDebug: true,
        appId: Platform.OS === "ios" ? "YOUR_APPID" : undefined,
        onDeepLinkListener: true,
      },
      (result) => {
        console.log("AppsFlyer init success:", result);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.error("AppsFlyer init failed:", error);
      }
    );

    // Deep link handler
    const deepLinkListener = async (res: UnifiedDeepLinkData) => {
      if (res.deepLinkStatus === "FOUND") {
        const { deep_link_value } = res?.data;
        console.log("AppsFlyer deep-link response --->", res);
        if (deep_link_value) {
          console.log(
            "MetaAd_AppInstalled event triggered via AppsFlyer ------->",
            deep_link_value
          );
          logAppEvent("MetaAd_AppInstalled", {
            Platform: Platform.OS,
            fbc: deep_link_value,
          });
          await AsyncStorage.setItem("facebookAdsId", deep_link_value);
        }
      }
    };

    appsFlyer.onDeepLink(deepLinkListener);
  }, []);

All are things that are working in Expo 51.0.38 and React Native 0.74.5. But React Native & Expo's latest version is not working.

Starting from Expo SDK 53+, AppDelegate has been migrated from Objective-C to Swift.
There is a related pull request #624 that addresses this transition and is currently pending review.

Just commenting because neither this nor the other thread have had any activity in the last week. I've reached out to AppsFlyer support and didn't get any definitive update, just that their product team would look into it.

AppsFlyer got back to me and said that the fix will be prioritized for early August

@al-af with #624 being merged, is there anything blocking a release this week? Thank you

[al-af]

Fixed in 6.17.2.

Hi @al-af - unfortunately the version 6.17.2 seems broken:
❌ Pods/react-native-appsflyer: 'react_native_appsflyer-Swift.h' file not found
└─path_to_project/node_modules/react-native-appsflyer/ios/PCAppsFlyer.m:10:9

I've opened the issue for that trouble - #646

The newest version v6.17.8 is still broken for expo. I get the following error

cannot find 'AppsFlyerAttribution' in scope
