Research direction

Start at the AppAuth podspec and inspect how its deployment target is applied to the native target and privacy resource bundle. Run pod install with AppAuth 2.1.0, then verify that both generated targets use iOS 15.0 or later and that the project builds with Xcode 27.

Description

bug triage

Summary

Xcode 27 fails the build because AppAuth 2.1.0 generates its privacy resource
bundle with an iOS 12.0 deployment target.

Xcode 27 supports deployment targets starting at iOS 15.0.

Environment

  • AppAuth-iOS: 2.1.0
  • react-native-app-auth: 8.4.1
  • React Native: 0.83.2
  • Xcode: 27
  • Application deployment target: iOS 17.2
  • CocoaPods: 1.16.2

Generated targets

After running pod install, the generated Pods project contains:

AppAuth: 12.0
AppAuth-AppAuthCore_Privacy: 12.0

Error

The iOS deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to
12.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is
15.0 to 27.0.x.

The build failure is reported for:

AppAuth-AppAuthCore_Privacy

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create an iOS project using CocoaPods.
  2. Add AppAuth version 2.1.0.
  3. Set the application deployment target to iOS 15 or later.
  4. Run pod install.
  5. Build with Xcode 27.
  6. Observe that AppAuthCore_Privacy retains iOS 12.0.

Expected behavior

AppAuth and its privacy resource bundle should use an iOS deployment target
supported by Xcode 27, preferably iOS 15.0 or later.

Suggested change

Raise the minimum iOS deployment target in the AppAuth podspec to iOS 15.0 so
both the native target and generated privacy resource bundle receive a valid
deployment target.

Temporary workaround

Applications can raise generated pod deployment targets in their Podfile
post_install hook. However, correcting the package podspec prevents CocoaPods
from generating unsupported targets.
