anyone found a solution?

Nov 24 '22 13:11 Ggayane

Hey so for me the solution was to remove the build folder (not clear build from Xcode but the folder itself), the node_modules folder, Pods folder, package-lock.json, Podfile.lock.

then reinstall everything by doing npm install && cd ./ios && pod install

FYI i got this error after trying to the command line. : RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=0 bundle exec pod install I don't know it it is related. but now i just tried to not use the new architecture

Thanks a lot this worked for me. I have also tried RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=0 bundle exec pod install, and I guess the reason was this as well.

This is not a solution. Of course it'd work if you disable the new architecture.

The error is about codegen issues with the new architecture.

For my case - I don't use new architecture.

Currently going through this error, been a few hours, really hard to fix when there's not much information about it

No solution above worked for me, mine looks like related to a library I'm using which I can't tell which one

EDIT 1:

I added ENV['RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED'] = '0'; on the top of my Podfile and then did a rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock && pod install --repo-update and suddenly it works, which I find weird because I've done the equivalent in the terminal by running RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=0 pod install and it didn't work. Now I'm not sure about the repercussions of setting ENV['RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED'] = '0'; but I didn't really intend to use the new arch at the moment because support is mostly experimental.

I also tried RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 npx pod-install ios and got this error.. when i'm installing 'react-native-image-picker'

I tried removing and re installing node modules, pods, podfiles and everything but still getting the same error. I also got xCode turn into red colored text. 스크린샷 2023-02-24 오후 12 29 32

I'm not sure it originally looks like but... anyway.

please solve this problem.. :(

I faced same issue after running

RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 npx pod-install ios

so the solution for me was to run

RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=0 npx pod-install ios

and then this

Hey so for me the solution was to remove the build folder (not clear build from Xcode but the folder itself), the node_modules folder, Pods folder, package-lock.json, Podfile.lock.

then reinstall everything by doing npm install && cd ./ios && pod install

FYI i got this error after trying to the command line. : RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=0 bundle exec pod install I don't know it it is related. but now i just tried to not use the new architecture

I also go stuck here after running the following:

RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 npx pod-install ios

Solution: Just deleting the Pods and the /build folder and running pod install again did the trick. the node_modules and package.json can be left alone. They're not related.
