iOS deployment target was not taken from the configuration.

Summary

We're trying to build an ios app using eas build --platform ios in the project which contains a newly installed plugin "@config-plugins/react-native-webrtc",. We followed instructions in the really big and old thread about implementing WebRTC with Expo (link here). According to the recommendation, we need to install package expo-dev-client along with the @config-plugins/react-native-webrtc and according to the example offered for review, we did exactly as required. Due to having a failing build with traceback logs saying

compiling for iOS 12.0, but module 'ExpoModulesCore' has a minimum deployment target of iOS 13.0:

we added

  [
    "expo-build-properties",
    {
      "ios": {
        "deploymentTarget": "13.0"
      }
    }
  ]

to the app.json configuration, but it looks like it does not catch up in the eas build environment. We still get

❌  (node_modules/expo-linear-gradient/ios/LinearGradientModule.swift:4:8)

  2 | 
  3 | import CoreGraphics
> 4 | import ExpoModulesCore
    |        ^ compiling for iOS 12.0, but module 'ExpoModulesCore' has a minimum deployment target of iOS 13.0: /Users/expo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/binaschoolapp-eykxagvjwynwjugxpprchszbfdvw/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/binaschoolapp/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/ExpoModulesCore/ExpoModulesCore.swiftmodule/arm64-apple-ios.swiftmodule

Did you find out a way to force the deploymentTarget ?

Any update on this? Having same/similar issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78027658/expo-eas-build-getting-deployment-target-error-despite-setting-it-in-app-js

Also looking for any update here I just ran into this as well when trying to include a third party pod in a custom native module

[GoldAndLink]

On my side I had to use npx expo prebuild -p ios --clean so I could generate a prebuild and force the target of the third party (NotificationService in my case) right into XCode

I was having this issue and found that the native module I was trying to install had this line in the podspec:

s.platforms  = { :ios => '12.0', :tvos => '12.0' }

I set the version numbers there to 13, ran a clean prebuild, and the issue went away

This was the only thing that solved my problem too. Thanks a lot, @GoldAndLink!
