Different results in different folders with the same commands

Question

When I run react-native init project in a one folder, I am unable to run the project (I get error Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist). However, in my Desktop folder, when I do the exact same thing (react-native init project then react-native run-ios) I get no errors at all.

Why might this be happening?

Answer 1

Do you have spaces in the project directory path?

• yes: try to remove spaces from directory path.
• no: try to clear cache: rm ~/.rncache and see if it helps.

If it does not help, take a look at https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/14423
