npx react-native run-ios not working for react native fresh project

[jaydave1412]

Description

Based on the getting started guide provided here https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup, I am trying to build a build a project using react native cli. I followed the exact steps provided in the article and the project starts for android but not for ios. The error I am getting is

2022-05-09 19:52:26.204 xcodebuild[27325:198569] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionSentinelHostApplications for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionHosts.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore

and this

Failed to build iOS project. We ran "xcodebuild" command but it exited with error code 65. To debug build logs further, consider building your app with Xcode.app, by opening AwesomeProject.xcworkspace

The following build commands failed:

On doing some research I saw a stackoverflow post where it said to try opening the xcode workspace in ios folder and trying to build from there I have attached the screenshot of the error I received there

Have you tried clearing your build folder, re-starting your computer and re-initialising the project? I have seen this error before but I can't remember what triggered it.

[jaydave1412]

@tj-mc I tried it multiple times As stated in description I even tried creating an expo project and running expo eject and trying to run that application but even that didnot work

Hey @jaydave1412 I'm facing the same issue now :D Looks like it's a problem with xcode 13.3, not react-native itself. I found multiple threads on the apple forum and it looks like downgrading xcode to 13.2.1 should fix that until apple won't fix it on their side https://xcodereleases.com/ I am trying it now 😆

[JordanDDisch]

@olga-giza any luck with downgrading? I'm assuming this is tied to whatever react native version is used. For example i've created a bare bones react native app using (0.68) and it works fine with the latest xcode (13.3.1). But when I start my project using 0.64 it has the same issue described here. For what its worth this is happening to the flutter community as well. Same issue, seems downgrading is helping some. https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/98298

[olga-giza]

@JordanDDisch Yup - downgrading resolved mentioned issue 🎉 Then I faced another problem and for that error, I found this article which helped me run the app: https://khushwanttanwar.medium.com/xcode-12-compilation-errors-while-running-with-ios-14-simulators-5731c91326e9

Closing this given that is not React Native related

[jaydave1412]

I ran pod install normally it worked without any error but I faced this issue to resolve but when I ran arch -x86_64 pod install boiler plate app worked flawlessly

After running the arch -x86_64 pod install command, nothing starting with npx worked in my terminal. how do i return it?
