Just an update, I was able to overcome this by using this version
"react-native-appsflyer": "6.17.1",
My expo is
"expo": "53.0.20",

@singhagam1 I thought that 6.17.1 doesn't support AppDelegate.swift (I mean expo plugin)

[singhagam1]

Mine is working good in android and iOS, I am able to log events.

[sincerely-manny]

I'll try, thank you!

Here’s what worked for me to solve this problem:

Install patch-package:
npm install patch-package postinstall-postinstall --save-dev

Add the script in your package.json:

"scripts": {
  ...
  "postinstall": "patch-package"
}

Open node_modules/react-native-appsflyer/ios/PCAppsFlyer.m and update the import:

-#import <react_native_appsflyer-Swift.h>
+#import <react_native_appsflyer/react_native_appsflyer-Swift.h>

Save the file and generate the patch:
npx patch-package react-native-appsflyer

This will create a patch file inside the patches/ folder, for example:
patches/react-native-appsflyer+<version>.patch

Now the fix will be automatically applied after every install or build. ✅
