Answer 1

For XCODE 10.0, I did two things

1) check out this answer which basically says Go to File -> Project settings

Click the Advanced button

Select "Custom" and select "Relative to Workspace" in the pull down

Change "Build/Products" to "build/Build/Products"

2) If (1) doesn't work for you then open your project from xcode go to project navigator and select your project name --> go to info --> use debug for command-lines builds.

do this

3) go to terminal and react-native run-ios

Answer 2

Usually, this error comes up due to inconsistent versions (either of react-native, OS or XCode). I had the same issue with react-native v0.57.0 on MacOS Sierra and XCode v9.x. All I had to do was to upgrade to High Sierra and then XCode to v10.0.

Otherwise, you'd have to use an older version of react-native either by downgrading it or by initialising a project with an older version

react-native init test --version react-native@0.x.x

Answer 3

Run the command

react-native upgrade
react-native run-ios

or

react-native run-android

this was solved when am faced this issue
