Issue while trying to integrate the Carbon library

[oumaima12]

While integrating the Carbon library into my project, I followed the steps provided in the official documentation. However, I encountered and resolved a couple of issues during the process:

1. iOS Issue: Pod Installation
   When running the pod install command, I encountered an error. This was resolved by running the following command to ensure CocoaPods was properly installed:
   sudo gem install cocoapods

2. Android Issue: Font Assets Configuration
   While running the app on Android Studio, an issue occurred with the assets configuration. The problem arose because the assets configuration is not directly available in the android block of the build.gradle file. To fix this:

Open the android/app/build.gradle File:
Locate the android block.
Add the sourceSets Configuration:
Update the file to reference the src/main/assets/fonts directory. The final configuration should look like this:

android {
...
sourceSets {
main {
assets.srcDirs += 'src/main/assets'
}
}
}

This ensures that the fonts in src/main/assets/fonts are included in the build.

3. Rebuilding the Android Project
   After making the adjustments, I followed these steps to clean and rebuild the project:

Clean the Project:
cd android
./gradlew clean

Rebuild the Project:
cd ..
npx react-native run-android

With these fixes, I was able to successfully set up the Carbon library and run the application on both iOS and Android.

Thanks for sharing. Different versions of react native link differently. We will check and try to update the docs. But it is recommended to follow latest RN docs to accomplish setup as they are changing frequently and the CLI is in flux as of now requiring more manual changes :(
