Android working fine but iOS returns an error regarding React-Codegen from project Pods

[mypalvikram]

Description

iOS was working fine until this error appeared:

warning: Run script build phase 'Start Packager' will be run during every build because it does not specify any outputs. To address this warning, either add output dependencies to the script phase, or configure it to run in every build by unchecking "Based on dependency analysis" in the script phase. (in target 'MyApp' from project 'MyApp')
warning: Run script build phase 'Bundle React Native code and images' will be run during every build because it does not specify any outputs. To address this warning, either add output dependencies to the script phase, or configure it to run in every build by unchecking "Based on dependency analysis" in the script phase. (in target 'MyApp' from project 'MyApp')

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
        CompileC /Users/vikrampal/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-diuniyvicjdzntehptyxnobhkeju/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/React-Codegen.build/Objects-normal/arm64/ShadowNodes.o /Users/vikrampal/Development/react-native/MyApp/ios/build/generated/ios/react/renderer/components/rncore/ShadowNodes.cpp normal arm64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (in target 'React-Codegen' from project 'Pods')
(1 failure)

Not sure why this occurred after hours of working, but I can't seem to find a solution. I did come across this page that outlines what to do for versions for >0.69.0

I figured it actually by digging through another thread, from the root of your project run the following. Cheers.

cd ios && RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 pod install

Edit: When you add a package to your project and need to run a pod install, use the command above so the new arch stays enabled. Otherwise, you will return to your error state until you run it again. Just a heads up.

Oh my god @mypalvikram I want to wish you a happy new year coming up, thank you so much. You have saved me after 4.5 hours of debugging.

Thank you!

hi, i just wanted to say thank you and i wanted to give you a small donation but was unable to find a link.

After about 20 hours searching for wtf was happening with the project im trying to build for iOS, your answer was the answer i needed, i tried a 100 thousand things.

thankyou and i hope someday iOS rots in hell.

Hey, thank you for the gesture! But it's totally fine I'm glad I was able to help! ❤️

@mypalvikram thanks for sharing the solution. Sadly it didn't work for me. I feel like I'm on the right track but I might be missing something minor. Can you please help me out?

Here are the logs i get after running the command you shared:

@AbreezaSaleem What version of RN are you using? When I first posted this it was before many changes and updates so I can help check if that still applies.

[AbreezaSaleem]

@mypalvikram i am using "react-native": "0.69.5"

[AbreezaSaleem]

Was able to fix my error following the steps mentioned here: #34106 (comment)

Edit: found the actual fix. Apparently, the error was getting caused after an update to XCode to 14.3.0. More details can be found here: #36759. You need to update react-native to 0.70.8 to fix the issue.

Hello, I have the same issue but when I try to run the command I get the following error:

!] Invalid Podfile file:
[!] Invalid RNReanimated.podspec file: [react-native-reanimated] Reanimated 2.x does not support Fabric. Please upgrade to 3.x to use Reanimated with the New Architecture. For details, see https://blog.swmansion.com/announcing-reanimated-3-16167428c5f7.

I cannot update React-reanimated though because other dependencies will break:
any thoughts on that will be appreciated:
