iOS archiving Command /usr/sbin/chown failed with exit code 1

Question

I am using react native to develop my first cross-platform app. On my attempts to archive it, I encounter, the following error. I think it only happens in yoga library(?) or something. The error lies under yoga in the left pane...

Answer 1

I had exactly the same issue, I never created any group with german special characters (umlauts), I spent some time trying to figure out where the folder is located on disk or in the project but in vain, then I deleted derived data, cleaned the project, restarted Xcode and everything was working again.
