ld: unsupported tapi file type '!tapi-tbd' in YAML file

Question

I am facing an error which running "npm install" (see picture attached)

• node version: 10.7.0, npm version: 6.1.0
• MacOs version: 10.15.6

It's a react native project (i'll be working on iOS part), and the package.json is as:

{
    "name": "abc",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "private": true,

    },

    },
    "devDependencies": {

        "react-test-renderer": "16.9.0"
    },
    "jest": {
        "preset": "react-native"
    }
}

What I tried:

I installed watchman using brew install watchman, tried printing logs while installing packages but it didn't work for me.

Error Message:

Answer 1

I had a same problem when update os to Catalina, try to update(reinstall) llvm and gcc and then reinstall xcode command-line tools:

$ brew upgrade llvm
$ brew upgrade gcc
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
$ xcode-select --install

you may need to restart the system

Answer 2

It seems that Command Line Tools for Xcode 12 is not compatible with macOS Catalina (or there are some missing packages within the CLT).

After removing it and installing Command Line Tools for Xcode 11.5, no more errors are generated like this.

Avoid me spending hours to download XCode just to get CLT working.

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
