Module does not work in release build. about react-native-calendar-reminders HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi @harshvb7, what is the expected result after saving? Or is it not saving the reminder? Also, be aware that saving a reminder is async, so using calling dispatch after saveReminder like this is not guaranteed to work. This library uses events for callbacks, but I plan to update it with promises soon.

from react-native-calendar-reminders.

The 'dispatch' is only to trigger the add reminder form page to pop out and go back to the list.

After saving on debug:
Because of the remindersChanged listener added, the list gets a new item added.

After saving on Release:
Nothing happens. The reminder is not created. But if I go in the iOS Reminders app and create a new reminder manually and come back to the app, it adds shows new reminder in the list.
Everything works on the release module, including editing , deleting, etc. It just doesn't work for saving.

Is there anything to set in Xcode. My app deployment target is iOS 8.0.

Thanks

I'm not sure what is causing the release version to not save these reminders. If reading the reminders from the store works, it doesn't sound like a permissions problem. You could try to optimize the debug build similar to the release build, and check if any errors surface.

Ok,
I ran the release version on the device by editing the scheme from debug -> release.
Now while saving, if recurrence is passed the reminder is saved with 'Invalid Date'.
Without recurrence the app just crashes.

Another weird thing is that.
On debug:
Saving works if remote JS debugging is ON
else it gives this error:
JSON value '2016-10-07' 7:30:25 pm +0000' of type NSDate cannot be converted to a date

Looks like React Native might be having a hard time converting your start and due dates to an NSDate. Try using a Date instance as the value for the date properties.

Ok, my fault. Looks like there was a bug around the authorization. Should be fixed now if you want to give it another try.

I fixed it by using date string instead of date object.
I was passing the javascript date object. I changed it to string of format '2016-10-01T09:45:00.000UTC' using moment js and it worked.
