Answer 1

anhdevit's suggestion in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/24363#issuecomment-488547280 worked for me:

In your terminal, run: defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode

Answer 2

You just need to install pod, if pod file exists just type

pod install

if not: so first,

pod init

then,

pod install

in terminal. and you are good to go.

Answer 3

I ran into this issue after doing a manual react-native link of a dependency which didn't support auto link on RN 0.59+

The solution was to select the xcodeproj file under the Libraries folder in Xcode and then in Build Settings, change Header Search Paths to add these two (recursive):

$(SRCROOT)/../../../ios/Pods/Headers/Public/React-Core
$(SRCROOT)/../../../ios/Pods/Headers/Public

Answer 4

For viewers who got this error after upgrading React Native to 0.40+, you may need to run react-native upgrade on the command line.

Answer 5

After React Native 0.60 this issue is often caused by a linked library mixed with the new 'auto-linking' feature. This fixes it for me

Unlink old library using

$ react-native unlink react-native-fs

Refresh Pods integration entirely using

$ pod deintegrate && pod install

Now reload your workspace and do a clean build.

Answer 6

Latest releases of react-native libraries as explained in previous posts and here have breaking compatibility changes. If you do not plan to upgrade to react-native 0.40+ yet you can force install previous version of the library, for example with react-native-fs:

npm install --save -E react-native-fs@1.5.1
