Manual iOS Installation

Importing The Library

• Drag the file Restart.xcodeproj from /node_modules/react-native-restart/ios into the Libraries group in the Project navigator. Ensure that Copy items if needed is UNCHECKED!

• Ensure that libRestart.a is linked through Link Binary With Libraries on Build Phases:

• Ensure that Header Search Paths on Build Settings has the path $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-restart set to recursive:

• You're All Set!

CocoaPod iOS Installation

In your ios/Podfile make sure to use react-native-restart from the local

node_modules/. With that, only your project Pod needs to be linked and

no extra configuration is required:

target 'MyReactApp'  do

# Make sure you're also using React-Native from ../node_modules

pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => [

'Core',

'RCTActionSheet',

# ... whatever else you use

]

# React-Native dependencies such as yoga:

pod 'yoga', path: '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'

  

# The following line uses react-native-restart, linking with

# the library and setting the Header Search Paths for you

pod 'react-native-restart', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-restart'

end

Remember to run cd ios && pod install to update files used by Xcode.

Usage

import  RNRestart  from  'react-native-restart'; // Import package from node modules

  

// Immediately reload the React Native Bundle

RNRestart.Restart(); // Deprecated

RNRestart.restart();
