Description

When the Podfile doesn't exist or is renamed, the doctor command crashes with the following error:

TypeError: Reduce of empty array with no initial value
    at Array.reduce (<anonymous>)
    at Object.getDiagnostics (/Users/user/project/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-doctor/build/tools/healthchecks/xcodeEnv.js:59:8)

Reproducible Demo

In any react-native project, rename or remove the Podfile inside the iOS folder (i.e. mv ios/Podfile ios/Podfile.backup)

Hello @sbalay, may I ask why you need to change the default file name?

[sbalay]

Hey, thanks for getting back!

Actually, we don't even have an iOS folder. We removed it as our react-native app runs as a brownfield integration in an already existing app and we structured the project in a way where we don't have an ios or android folder.

[szymonrybczak]

Uhm, okay. I will try to adjust the doctor command to work in the brownfield setup, because right now we're using the static paths, see here:

cli/packages/cli-platform-ios/src/config/findPodfilePath.ts

Line 17 in 5d8a847

const IOS_BASE = 'ios';

but we can actually use paths specified in react-native.config.js.

The offending reduce was already removed on main in b7954c9 - it looks like it should fail gracefully now? An "Xcode environment not found" warning (but doctor not crashing) seems like a good outcome here.

Might be worth picking that back to 11.x

[sbalay]

Seems that the commit is already in v11.x

We are currently relying on react-native 0.71.x that uses v10.x.x of the CLI: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/0.71-stable/package.json#L113

After adding overrides to the package.json to point the CLI to v11.x.x this is the output I get:

I guess this makes more sense and is something I can work with, so feel free to close the issue. However, using the paths defined in react-native.config.js as @szymonrybczak suggested would be nice.
