Description

I resolved it by opening the .xcworkspace file instead of the .xcodeproj. Then, the build was successful.

I'm getting the same error -- and I have a brand-new project with only TWO libraries: firebase and Vision Camera. Latest versions all around; this is a test app I've spent a while putting together.

React Native 0.73.4 Vision Camera 3.8.2 React Native Firebase Storage 18.8.0

In my case the same error was caused by cocoapods when I updated the version to 1.15.2 so, I installed the version 1.14.2, and I ran:

cd ios
npx po-install

and my problem was solved.

@DeveloperMCD please make sure of:

1. Run USE_FRAMEWORKS=static bundle exec pod install to install the pods. Firebase requires that specific flag
2. Open the xcworkspace file, not the xcodeproj file.

In my case, after testing all the solutions of this thread, it was uninstalling Xcode and reinstall it. I lost one day of work with this issue.

I Found Solution

This problem happens when xcode-select developer directory was pointing to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools when a full regular Xcode was required (happens when CommandLineTools are installed after Xcode)

Solution:

• Install Xcode (get it from https://appstore.com/mac/apple/xcode) if you don't have it yet.
• Accept the Terms and Conditions.
• Ensure Xcode app is in the /Applications directory (NOT /Users/{user}/Applications).
• Point xcode-select to the Xcode app Developer directory using the following command:
• sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Note: Make sure your Xcode app path is correct.

Xcode: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer Xcode-beta: /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer

U can use command again npm install in ur project & Again pod install

@aneesh-dasari that's not a valuable error message. It only tells us which command failed, but not why. Can you provide a reproducer using this template?

@DeveloperMCD please make sure of:

1. Run USE_FRAMEWORKS=static bundle exec pod install to install the pods. Firebase requires that specific flag
2. Open the xcworkspace file, not the xcodeproj file.

Thanks. Work in my case

If after trying all of the above and you are able to run on a real device, but not the simulator; try checking that the project, targets and pods build settings Excluded Architectures - Any iOS Simulator SDK are set to i386. My project build settings had it set to i386, but targets build settings had it set to arm64. I changed it to i386 for all and was able to run on a simulator.

Also you might have this in your Podfile if you are upgrading from an older react native project. This sets it back to arm64 after each pod install. Remove this as well.

installer.pods_project.build_configurations.each do |config|
  config.build_settings["EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"] = "arm64"
end

Yes had this left and that was causing it for me. Thank you!

[dpencsi]

For me its simply missing 'arm64' from Pods 'Build settings'. After I install pod that Pod always missing that 'arm64' text

This is what you see when you install pod

Click on it and you can add it

So this is how it should look like the 'arm64' should be in both place the the Debug and the Release

I hope this helps, sometimes very little things missing and ruin everything Oh and if you do that the first time you need to do that with the your project I mean above the 'Pods' it should be your project name and add the 'arm64' to your project 'Build settings' as well

[liplylie]

What worked for me was, in ios/Podfile, add:

target 'YourTargetName' do
    inherit! :complete
  end

Seems like there's an issue with XCode finding the location of RCTAppDelegate.h without it.
