Answer 1

The solution that works for me is to share React scheme.

If you don't have React scheme, create new one by Selecting scheme menu -> Manage Scheme -> + -> choose React, then mark React scheme as Shared

Also, if you use Xcode 10, go to File -> Project Settings and select Legacy build system

For my case, I couldn't delete node_modules and re-install and I also couldn't do react-native-git-updgrade or react-native upgrade because I wanted to stay on RN-0.59 because .60 causes problems for my dependencies.

Anyway my situation was that I was missing 'React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h' file. I already had React available in my schemas. It was not in my libraries directory. I checked my target's build settings.

Inside target dependencies, I also had React in there.

I deleted 'React' target dependency, then re-added. cleaned build folders, re-built project. it worked.

In the base dir of the project I run:

node_modules/react-native/packager/packager.sh --reset-cache

Which resulted in:

Loading dependency graph... ERROR  Packager can't listen on port 8081
Most likely another process is already using this port
Run the following command to find out which process:

lsof -i :8081

I found that package manager can't run when another packager process is running.

I found the process running with:

lsof -i :8081

Than I kill 9 ... the process.

After than I closed Xcode, run:

npm install

And started Xcode again, from this moment everything work as expected!!

Answer 4

I faced same issue .then i have deleted node .try to use these steps

1. Delete the node_modules folder - rm -rf node_modules && npm install
2. Reset packager cache - rm -fr $TMPDIR/react-* or node_modules/react-native/packager/packager.sh --reset-cache
3. Clear watchman watches - watchman watch-del-all

then make build and see

Answer 5

None of the other suggestions were fixing my error but this one did it.

1 - Create Podfile

Create a file named ios/Podfile inside your react-native app with the following contents:

# You Podfile should look similar to this file. React Native currently does not support use_frameworks!
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

platform :ios, '8.0'

target '<YOUR_APP_NAME>' do
  # Fixes required for pod specs to work with rn 0.42
  react_native_path = "../node_modules/react-native"
  pod "Yoga", :path => "#{react_native_path}/ReactCommon/yoga"
  pod "React", :path => react_native_path, :subspecs => [
    'Core',
    'RCTActionSheet',
    'RCTAnimation',
    'RCTGeolocation',
    'RCTImage',
    'RCTLinkingIOS',
    'RCTNetwork',
    'RCTSettings',
    'RCTText',
    'RCTVibration',
    'RCTWebSocket'
  ]

  pod 'GoogleMaps'  # <~~ remove this line if you do not want to support GoogleMaps on iOS

# when not using frameworks  we can do this instead of including the source files in our project (1/4):
#  pod 'react-native-maps', path: '../../'
#  pod 'react-native-google-maps', path: '../../'  # <~~ if you need GoogleMaps support on iOS
end

2 - Install Podfile

Run the command pod install from inside the ios folder.

3 - Reset XCode

Restart XCode and the error should be gone.

Answer 6

You might be running .xcodeproj file after pod is installed.

Close it and open .xcworkspace file. It worked for me.
