Description

Running the command react-native run-ios throws a lot of module map file not found errors. These are the same errors that happen when running xcode builds without rosetta enabled. I can successfully run the command with node version 15.0.6 for example. The difference between these two node versions is that the node 16 executable is native arm64. On node 15 I could just run the command without rosetta enabled in that terminal, which is pretty neat.

Reproducible Demo

Just use the standard template and try to run react-native run-ios with node 16.13.0

I tried building this on a standard template of npx react-native init --template react-native-template-typescript and the build is running fine. I think the problem only occurs if you have any pod dependency that requires to be built with rosetta. But still the problem did not exist with node 15 and only happens when I switch to node 16. Do you have any idea why this happens and how I could possibly fix this? I am curious to what changed in node or react-native that could lead to this problem...

@uloco I can create and build a vanilla RN app on M1/Monterey running Xcode 13.x, node 14.x, and RN 0.66. However, my existing app running the same xcode/node with RN 0.61.x does not. Both modules, lottie-ios and lottie-react-native throw errors. All my other pods are fine. So I'm not sure which combination of xcode/node/rn is the answer. If you find a solution, please share.
