React Native iOS 14 Only attempt to insert nil object from objects[0] #29970

Question

This is a problem that I only got on devices with iOS 14.

Description

My project worked well on iOS 13 and after I tried to run it on iOS 14 I always get an error in xcode

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0]'

Answer 1

Do you have any non-ASCII characters in your App name? There's this new issue appearing in iOS 14 app, where asking permissions on iOS 14 app which has any non-ASCII characters crashes the app

Issue reported in react-native-firebase repo : https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/4093

Fix for this is to change the product name to ASCII characters. As mentioned here

The workaround for this at this time is to only use simple ASCII characters in your Product Name and use the string you want displayed in the Display Name

The Product Name (which can be set in Xcode project -> Build Settings -> Packaging ) is not a user visible entity.

You can change the Display Name (aka Bundle Display Name in Info.plist ) to the string that you want displayed under the app icon, and also with the displayed notifications.

In order for this name change to take, you may need to delete the app first, and install the new build.

If your app is localized to multiple languages, you can still use the strings as you wish to be displayed by localizing the Display Name .

For RN Apps, the Bundle Display Name in Info.plist is default set to $(PRODUCT_NAME) . You can change that to any string you need including non-ASCII characters
