out of box react native 0.71.1 failed run-ios

[xiongemi]

Description

i created a react native app with npx react-native init, i did not change anything inside the app. however, run-ios command failed for me out of the box

1st time i run it, the run-ios command throws an error:

error Failed to install the app on the device because we couldn't execute the "ios-deploy" command. Please install it by running "npm install -g ios-deploy" and try again.

after i install the ios-deploy, I got this generic error:

error Failed to build iOS project. We ran "xcodebuild" command but it exited with error code 70. To debug build logs further, consider building your app with Xcode.app, by opening reactNative71.xcodeproj.

I am having the same issue with completely new project without anything inside of it - whats going on??

[CodeSantaClaus]

I have tried everything.

[tatetoussaint]

I am also having the same issue... Any idea how to fix @xiongemi?

Make sure latest ios-deploy package installed

e.g.
npm install -g ios-deploy (add sudo if you need to)

Also check which device it is trying to find. Check if it's attempting to install on Macbook and not the iphone, which you can resolve by installing to iPhone. Instructions:

1. xcrun xctrace list devices to get device name
2. npx react-native run-ios --device {insert device name } device name from list devices. If whitespace in name, you need to escape (perhaps \ )

May need to deintegrate pods and re-install:

cd ios && pod deintegrate

pod install

Hi @dylan-westbury , I have reinstalled iOS-deploy many times but still no success resolving the issue. Any other ideas?

[ts-ign0re]

The same.

Every two months I do a test build of a new version of React Native, and every two months I don't want to upgrade from version 0.68.5

All build since 0.69 were broken somewhere and you need to spent a lot of time to start using it.

It doesn't worth it.

@tatetoussaint In the end, i am able to run this command. a couple of issues i ran into:

1. pod install failed due to an incompatible ruby version. however, i upgrade ruby using rbenv: https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.
2. out of box, i still got the error:

xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:
                { id:5B84EC9C-0F31-5666-B1D7-6FE2FB1A8089 }

however, i could run the command with udid flag: https://reactnative.dev/docs/running-on-simulator-ios#specifying-an-udid

• run xcrun simctl list
• pick a simulator from the list and pass the id as a flag. run command npm run ios --udid=... or npx react-native run-ios --udid=..

** BUILD FAILED **


info Run CLI with --verbose flag for more details.

This worked out for me:

cd ios && pod deintegrate

pod install

Then go ahead and rerun your project

[simonmasinde]

Make sure latest ios-deploy package installed

e.g. npm install -g ios-deploy (add sudo if you need to)

Also check which device it is trying to find. Check if it's attempting to install on Macbook and not the iphone, which you can resolve by installing to iPhone. Instructions:

1. xcrun xctrace list devices to get device name
2. npx react-native run-ios --device {insert device name } device name from list devices. If whitespace in name, you need to escape (perhaps \ )

This worked but now I have the error, Failed to build iOS project. We ran "xcodebuild" command but it exited with error code 70.

This is the second Saturday I wasted trying to upgrade from 0.70.6 to 0.71+ (this time 0.71.2). Issue still persists even if I use -udid parameter to specify a device ID because Metro cannot find any connected app after the build. As the OP mentioned, this is not only an upgrade issue but also creating a new RN project gives the same error.

Edit: I've been able to resolve the problem Metro doesn't recognize the device by running the following :
adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081

However, "Unable to find a destination matching..." issue when I run "yarn ios" issue is still there
