Hello guys,
This is what’s worked for me:
Go to node_modules/@nozbe/simdjson/src
Go to node_modules/@nozbe/watermelondb/native/shared
Make sure that you edited your podfile and write the 2 lines below:
_Font: https://nozbe.github.io/WatermelonDB/Installation.html_
Some erros shows up, and this is how I fix:
In the first time, I got a message (fatal error: malformed or corrupted AST file…), with this, I have to go in the /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData and clean all the files in this folder before a try to make a new compilation.
To make sure that everything will works well, I deleted my folder Pods inside tha “ios” folder, and after I execute the command pod install to build this folder again. (Make sure you have the backup)
I deleted my folder node_modules to and download again with the command yarn install.
I hope this helps someone, bye bye 😉
Hi @jamesjlv thanks a lot by the solution. I have added a little command at xcode that did the same that you did.
