build target react-rncore Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

Question

I have a project in react native that I haven't worked on in a while. It was working fine last time I worked on it, but now when I try to build I get this error:

build target react-rncore /Users/[user]/Library/Mobile: No such file or directory

now I tried updating xcode, I tried to clean the build folder, I tried to delete derived data, I also tried to reinstall everything like so:

rm -rf node_modules/
npm install
cd ios/
rm -rf Pods/ Podfile.lock
pod install

but so far nothing seems to work.

here is some more info: macos: 14.3.1, xcode: 15.2 15C500b, mac air m1 13

Answer 1

there are multiple reasons for this error but in my case, it was node version. there was node version mismatch in my system and the .xcode.env file.

Answer 2

There may by a file missing in ios folder named as ".xcode.env.local" that takes node version from your system . Add export NODE_BINARY=/opt/homebrew/bin/node inside that file and re-run the app. Hope this works.

Oh well this work in the case if you installed node via homebrew , but incase not then you can update the path with the path from your node version using which node
