RN 0.66.5 + RN CLI: PhaseScriptExecution error (not with Xcode)

[leotm]

Follow-up to

---

From npx react-native@0.66.5 init RN0665 --version 0.66.5

yarn start --reset-cache

yarn ios

nvm is not compatible with the "PREFIX" environment variable: currently set to "/usr/local"
Run `unset PREFIX` to unset it.
Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

The build error is now happening consistently for fresh RN projects, with unset PREFIX to no avail

Likely related to nvm from metamask-mobile setup (no other node manager in use) nb: also running react-native+0.66.5.patch

If unable to figure soon, stick to Xcode (14.2 stable) for now i.e. not a blocker

nvm --version # 0.39.3
which nvm # nvm function definition: https://pastebin.com/CwvhKUN0

node --version # v14.21.3
which node # /opt/homebrew/opt/node@14/bin/node

echo $PATH

/opt/homebrew/opt/node@14/bin:/Users/leo/.rbenv/shims:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/Users/leo/Library/Android/sdk/emulator:/Users/leo/Library/Android/sdk/tools:/Users/leo/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin:/Users/leo/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools

This is likely fine with Xcode since

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/0.66-stable/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh#L84 is calling

# Find path to Node
# shellcheck source=/dev/null
source "$REACT_NATIVE_DIR/scripts/find-node.sh"

# check and assign NODE_BINARY env
# shellcheck source=/dev/null
source "$REACT_NATIVE_DIR/scripts/node-binary.sh"

# ...

"$NODE_BINARY" $NODE_ARGS "$CLI_PATH" $BUNDLE_COMMAND \
  $CONFIG_ARG \
  --entry-file "$ENTRY_FILE" \
  --platform "$BUNDLE_PLATFORM" \
  --dev $DEV \
  --reset-cache \
  --bundle-output "$BUNDLE_FILE" \
  --assets-dest "$DEST" \
  $EXTRA_ARGS \
  $EXTRA_PACKAGER_ARGS

# ...

Different to our RN CLI

nvm unalias default 🎉 until find a better solution compatible with nvm and other node version managers
