Allow passing extra arguments in with-environment.sh

[davidliu]

Summary:

Addresses #54140.

This allows adding extra arguments when running a command with with-environment.sh.

Changelog:

[IOS|] [CHANGED] - Allow passing extra arguments in with-environment.sh

Test Plan:

Tested by changing the "Bundle React Native code and images" build phase in the ReproducerApp template to execute with an extra argument like so:

/bin/sh -c "$WITH_ENVIRONMENT $REACT_NATIVE_XCODE index.example"

Can observe that the subsequent command picks up the extra argument.

Also tested building normally, without the extra argument, works as expected.

Hi @davidliu thanks for the PR.

There are some security concerns involved in this change. We are not sure that allowing to execute a command with an arbitrary set of arguments is safe.

Can you expand a little bit more on your use case? Why do you need to run the script with extra arguments?

[davidliu]

Hi @cipolleschi, as outlined in #54140, my personal usecase is for the react-native-xcode.sh script, which can take an extra argument to specify the entry file during the iOS build process. I used it previously so that my index file could be written in typescript and thus would have a filename of index.ts.

It's not a big issue or anything though, just a minor inconvenience. I'm not really knowledgeable about the security issues here, but if there's actual concerns, feel free to close the PR.

Worth mention that without @davidliu's suggested change I wasn't able to run app on physical devices even being in the same network as described here.

So, I'm not sure what should be the final fix in case this PR get's closed without any other suggested change.

Hi!

We would really like to be able to pass arguments to the command. Our use case is with sentry which specifies this in there xcode build phase documentation:

WITH_ENVIRONMENT="../node_modules/react-native/scripts/xcode/with-environment.sh"
SENTRY_XCODE="../node_modules/@sentry/react-native/scripts/sentry-xcode.sh"

/bin/sh -c "$WITH_ENVIRONMENT $SENTRY_XCODE"

where the sentry script sentry-xcode.sh takes and uses an argument like this

REACT_NATIVE_XCODE_DEFAULT="../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh"
REACT_NATIVE_XCODE="${1:-$REACT_NATIVE_XCODE_DEFAULT}"

As we do not use the default path, we would like to specify our own. But, because the argument is not passed to the sentry script the default is used, and we are unable to use sentry without patch.

So in our case passing one argument would be sufficient, we would not need an arbitrary amount

Thanks in advance

Hi @cipolleschi

Is there any progress on this? I was just hit by this trying to update RN to 0.81.1. I'm also using Sentry so my problem is probably the same as reported by @simon-thuresson-md here:
