0.60.0 build failed with Error code 65 [IOS]

[Kida007]

First , I tried to manually update one of my project from 0.57.8 to 0.60.0 following Update Helper. I got :

/Users/ravipiyush/opensource/latest/ios/latest/AppDelegate.h:8:9: fatal error: 'React/RCTBridgeDelegate.h' file not found
#import <React/RCTBridgeDelegate.h>
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

info 
error 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 latest.xcodeproj. Run CLI with --verbose flag for more details.

Then I tried with a fresh project and got the same results !!!

I have the same error , Then I use Xcode，click the run button ，according to the error prompted by xcode and modified(I deleted RCTGeolocation). It is ok.

@Kida007 If you have Xcode 10.1 still available, try switching to that using xcode-select:
xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode10.1.app/Contents/Developer/
I've named the Xcode 10.1 as "Xcode10.1", but you can name the Xcode file whatever you want.

I got the same error as you on a new project with 0.60.0 and I was using Xcode 10.2.1 as well. I've noticed other compilation issues with Xcode 10.2.1 that aren't there in Xcode 10.1.
Swift 5 came out in Xcode 10.2 along with some ABI stability stuff, so maybe something in that is causing the issues. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/xcode_10_2_release_notes/swift_5_release_notes_for_xcode_10_2

[Kida007]

Thanks @Jayxiang and @sanv725 , will try both of your workarounds !

[andercard]

Create a project from scratch to test and present the same error

[PavanKumar-sa]

@andercard , can you check this: build -> edit scheme -> go to build tab and check whether target react is available? Even I am having same issue but for me target is showing as react (missing).

[vinurs]

@PavanKumar-sa i've the same problem

[andercard]

@PavanKumar-sa
Yes, but I have the same problem

[Kida007]

I think ( assumption ) I found out what's causing & how to solve it :

Its due to failing of 'pod install' command at the time of react-native init because of the unavailability of Cocoa Pods

Solution :

1. Install Cocoa Pods

sudo gem install cocoapods

2. In your Project Folder :

cd ios
pod install

[bashen1]

delete ios/build floder and bulid again

[sw-tt-keyurprajapati]

Please try this. It's work for me in error which I am getting in installing pods.
sudo xcode-select -switch <path/to/>Xcode.app

[hzpeng57]

I have encountered the same problem as you. How did you solve it

[Kida007]

Can you try above solution ( installing pod dependencies )

[PavanKumar-sa]

@Kida007
pod install resolved that issue but now have got one more issue

In file included from /../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/PushNotificationIOS/RCTPushNotificationManager.m:8:

/../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/PushNotificationIOS/RCTPushNotificationManager.h:8:9: fatal error: 'React/RCTEventEmitter.h' file not found

#import <React/RCTEventEmitter.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

any one facing issue with PushNotificationIOS?

[hzpeng57]

Can you try above solution ( installing pod dependencies )

I'm trying, but the installation is very slow. Thank you

[hviwen]

I have encountered the same problem as you. How did you solve it.
trying Install Cocoa Pods, but not save it

[thekrol01]

pod install in ios dir after react native init did not work for me. Target React still Missing.

[KushalDesai1]

I also had the same issue.
Created a new project and got the error 'RCTBridgeDelegate.h file not found' when executing react-native run-ios.

I solved it by installing pod.

Now I come from android background. So I have very little idea about pod. And no idea about CocoaPods.

I run following commands in terminal:

1. cd ios
2. pod install (Podfile was already generated, in my case, with libraries starting with RCT)
3. cd ..
4. react-native run-ios

(I have also changed the project settings to Legacy Build in Xcode)

And it's DONE

[ncole458]

pod install worked for me, thanks!

[thekrol01]

Perhaps for some people a no-brainer -) But after the pod install I had to open the workspace instead of the project. Which is also recommended by the react native team. The build target React was still missing. Removed the React (Missing) target and added the React target from the podfile instead. After that I was able to run a build. Hope it helps.

[stelselim]

I am still struggling with these problems.
lang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I tried these steps:
cd ios
pod install
cd ..
react-native run-ios

Then I choose the Legacy Build system in Project Settings.
I tried to run it, and it did not worked.

After these, i opened xcode and looked manage schemes. React(missing)...
I deleted React and click add again but there is no React option.

i'm also facing the same issue

I got the same error after I use the react-native init to create a new project.

Then I found that the react-native init have some error message telling me that my Node version is too slow.

I updated Node version then try react-native init again.

This time, it asks me:
? CocoaPods (https://cocoapods.org/) is not installed. It's necessary for iOS project to run correctly. Do you want to install it? ...

So I think maybe the Node version is the root cause, it blocked the upgrade and init, so that you couldn't install the CocoaPods completely, and it makes you see the error on <React/RCTBridgeDelegate.h>.

[satishnvrn]

I got the same error. First, I added React.xcodeproj into libraries in ios folder and then added it in schema. You can find React.xcodeproj in node_modules/react-native/React/React.xcodeproj. It fixed the issue.

[eggybot]

same issue React is missing in the scheme. Also, this error show up
'React/RCTLog.h' file not found for the projectappTests.m

[DaveLomber]

@satishnvrn there it no React.xcodeproj for RN61

[cesarve77]

What work for me:
I was opening my project with xcodeproj
now i open it with xcworkspace

and works

[joerez]

I tried everything, this was the only thing that worked. I'll add that I went back to manage schemes, selected React, (it was available again), then did

cd ios
pod install

All ended up working out.

[Symous]

@eggybot any solution here? I met the same issue.

[nihp]

I am facing the above issue. Any solution?

[vamshi9666]

any solution yet ?
