haizz, it took me more than a day but I still can't fix it, even though I tried many ways

[yedi97]

I'm resolved from #36762 (comment), thanks all!

[GunnarAK]

This issue was fixed for me by deleting ios/.xcode.env.local. Then I ran pod install and installed the app successfully on my device.

Also working here for a recent project upgraded to RN 0.73.6 🎉

[patras1]

Hi,
I'm still facing the issue I tried the comment below it didn't work. ( in iOS )

I also tried to disable the herms by : :hermes_enabled => false.

Any suggestions?

That' didn't work for me, still struggling with this issue. Any clue how to solve it?

[OnurVar]

It's already mentioned in Gemfile but please make sure you're using cocoapods version is lower 1.15

[tuanngocptn]

I just fixed with issue by linking the Node to /usr/local/bin/node.
First you need to find out the real Node PATH by

command -v node # in my machine that show => /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/node/18.20.2/arm64/bin/node

Then Link that to /usr/local/bin/node.

ln -s /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/node/18.20.2/arm64/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node

Or short cut with:

ln -s $(command -v node) /usr/local/bin/node

hope that will help you.

Thanks this saved me to waste more time.

[DevNvll]

I had this problem when changing the node version via nvm. I was just using nvm use lts/iron
It worked when I used nvm alias default lts/iron. I also deleted the .xcode.env.local file

With react-native 0.74.2 none of the proposed fix above work

[alexlic]

Same on my end, non of the fixes mentioned above seems to work on react-native 0.74.2

[MrSolimanKing]

Same on my end, non of the fixes mentioned above seems to work on react-native 0.74.2

Have you figured out the solution, I tried all previous solutions but there is nothing worked with me with react-native 0.74.3

same issue for me I can't build on my xcode using "react-native": "^0.74.3",

[MrSolimanKing]

I faced this issue when I upgraded my React native app from version 0.72 to 0.74.3 I tried all other solutions but nothing worked I ended up creating a new project using npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init AwesomeProject it was a hard time to copy my old project files and native side code to the new one but eventually it worked fine

I just upgrade my project to 0.70.13 to 0.75.1 . I have the same issue while upgrading. Is there any solution??

[Rodrigo816]

In my case on .xcode.env I changed to this
export NODE_BINARY="/usr/local/bin/node"

and run the command
ln -s $(command -v node) /usr/local/bin/node

solved the problem for me

[jon-eubank]

In my case (RN 0.73.9) when I ran "pod install" it was automatically generating the .xcode.env.local if it didn't already exist. The NODE_BINARY it was setting in that file was set to a location of node, but it wasn't the same as the location that appeared when I would run "which node".

After replacing the default NODE_BINARY location with the path from "which node" everything worked correctly. Subsequent runs of "pod install" don't overwrite the change either which is nice.

For my set-up, I'm using NVM as my node manager. Also .xcode.env (note: NOT the local one) is just set to:

export NODE_BINARY=$(command -v node)

[christophelebris-fulll]

Finally found the solution for RN 0.74.5 (might work for any version starting from 0.73). For those like me who tried the solutions above, the missing piece of the puzzle could be the node install cleaning.

Clean node install

• I installed nvm then added [[ -s $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh ]] && . $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh # This loads NVM  to the end of my ~/.zshrc
• I uninstalled node completely from my machine
• Then used nvm to reinstall it (node version 18), the command which node gives me /Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v18.20.4/bin/node (which is the same result as command -v node)
• Deleted /usr/local/bin/node
• Relinked node with the command below

ln -s $(command -v node) /usr/local/bin/node

Side notes

I didn't delete .xcode.env.local which contains export NODE_BINARY=$(which node)

I do have the following patch for "find-node-for-xcode.sh"

[PulasthiAbey]

The best solution for this is to delete the ios/projectname.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file it self and try building the project in the XCode. It sorted out the issues for me

Thanks a lot! This is working with XCode 15 , nvm and react-native 0.74.5
