iOS release builds don't build

[WookieFPV]

I tried to create an iOS release build.

Steps to reproduce:

1. install pods
2. open Xcode Workspace
3. edit schema to release
4. start build

Looks like the bundler doesn't know the "ios" platform => no bundle creation. "error Invalid platform "ios" selected"

iOS debug works fine.

facing similar issue. Not able to archive iOS build. Working fine in debug mode when I run from CLI or run from Xcode it works fine.

@WookieFPV @brunolemos if you guys can help would be great.

When I try to archive version to distribute facing issue. It is happening on this repo as well.

I am able to get it work using some hack. I have to update node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh

Updated PROJECT_ROOT=${PROJECT_ROOT:-"$REACT_NATIVE_DIR/../.."} to PROJECT_ROOT=${PROJECT_ROOT:-"$REACT_NATIVE_DIR/../../packages/mobile/"}

also will require to update ENTRY_FILE=${1:-index.js} to ENTRY_FILE=${1:-index.tsx}

I am not able to pass PROJECT_ROOT from "metro.config.js" so I have to use this hack.

add a environment variable for react-native-xcode.sh will fix this promble. export PROJECT_ROOT=$PWD/..

Thank you

Facing same error. Will try to add it later 👍

This fixed the error 👍

I'm building it through xcode cloud and still getting the error. Where should I declare PWD env?
