Answer 1

I have the same problem right after init:

react-native init myapp cd myapp react-native run-ios

..although run-android was fine.

Not a solution but a workaround for the moment, maybe be to init using a lower version of RN:

react-native init myapp --version [email protected]

That builds okay. Similar in an existing project, install an older version of RN.

Other versions before 0.54.2 might work but I haven't tried.

RN 0.54 requires types available since iOS 11. So you have to upgrade your xcode and set minimum iOS version in your app to 11

In short, upgraded OSX & Xcode to the latest. (As of today, OSX 10.13.4 Xcode & 9.3)
