Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist have tried most solutions

Question

I have pretty much tried all the solutions but none of them seem to work.

An error was encountered processing the command   (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain,   code=2):
Failed to install the requested application
An application bundle was not found at the provided path.
Provide a valid path to the desired application bundle.
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

Command failed: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print:CFBundleIdentifier     build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/albums.app/Info.plis      

Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

How do you get the project to run?

Answer 1

My terminal pops out the same message due to deleting some simulators I don't use in Xcode.

If you run react-native run-ios with no specific parameters, react-native will run the default simulator which is iPhone 6 with iOS 10.3.1 in my case and I deleted this simulator by chance.

Here comes my error messages:

xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:
        { id:F3A7BF54-B827-4517-A30D-8B3241C8EBF8 }

Available destinations for the "albums" scheme:
    { platform:iOS Simulator, id:CD64F26B-045A-4E27-B05A-5255924095FB, OS:10.3.1, name:iPad Pro (9.7 inch) }
    { platform:iOS Simulator, id:8FC41950-9E60-4264-B8B6-20E62FAB3BD0, OS:10.3.1, name:iPad Pro (10.5-inch) }

In order to get rid of these, open up your Xcode and check for available simulators (as same as terminal listed) and run react-native run-ios --simulator="your device name"

For my case, I run react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 7", the problem solved.
