potential solution here.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40368211/rctbundleurlprovider-h-file-not-found-appdelegate-m

this resolved the issue for me -

in Xcode do the following:

Product->Scheme->Manage Schemes click '+' at the Target to select "React" and set the React is shared.

N.B. Some people were not seeing the React option, nor was I until I ran npm install -g react-native-git-upgrade followed by react-native-git-upgrade. Following this the react option displayed for me.

Hmm, I have a dot in my project name, I wonder if that is the issue

Pyrolistical on 17 Jul 2017

@Pyrolistical -- possibly! if you try without that does it work on your machine? works as expected for me

brentvatne on 17 Jul 2017

@brentvatne nope, still a problem

Having the same issue

b3bakyt on 18 Jul 2017

I just did this again and it worked fine. If you can provide a project that has this issue, please re-open the issue. Without a repro there's not much we can do :\

brentvatne on 25 Jul 2017

I have the same problem! using react-native 0.47, node 8.2.1, xcode 8.3.3
_react-native init projName
cd projName
react-native run-ios_

AppDelegate.m #import . 'file not found'

File exists in:
./ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/include/React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h
./node_modules/react-native/React/Base/RCTBundleURLProvider.h
but was not found by xcode?

kappe on 2 Aug 2017

don't know if it is important, but IMO it's strange:
when I comment RTCURLProvider
//#import
#import ist set to 'file not found'

kappe on 2 Aug 2017

I am facing the same issue.

DemoProject/ios/DemoProject/AppDelegate.m:12:9: 'React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h' file not found
is there any solution?

I am following instructions from

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html (Building Projects with Native Code)

I have tried to create project again and again, but no luck.

This is from my package.json

"react": "16.0.0-alpha.12",
"react-native": "0.47.1"

greenteamer on 11 Aug 2017

I am not blocked by this, since I am using an earlier version now. Somebody who is blocked by this, please repo this with a new project and link the created project here.

Same issue on another machine with yarn installed...

Here is the screen shot from my Xcode project

Here is the logs while creating the project...

or -
Open ios/RNTutorialProject.xcodeproj in Xcode
Hit the Run button
To run your app on Android:
cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/github/ReactNative/demo/RNTutorialProject
Have an Android emulator running (quickest way to get started), or a device connected
react-native run-android

If anybody facing the same issue as I have mentioned, can pull working template project from

@brentvatne there's your project

Pyrolistical on 18 Aug 2017

Did a "Clean Build Folders" on Xcode and ran into this error, that doesn't seem to go away no matter what I do. Anyone has a working solution to this issue? I was running RN 0.45.1.

askarhu on 3 Sep 2017

I'm also running into this problem, and even reverting all changes in Git doesn't help, my project appears to be permanently borked now.

@brentvatne , any update on this? It's pretty much a complete development blocker.

Awesome @Pau1fitz. Does this give you a hint on the root cause @brentvatne?

Pyrolistical on 14 Dec 2017

I tried every suggestions and it's still not working for me..

lefoy on 18 Dec 2017

Damn! same here nothing's working.
I just upgraded my react native using react-native-git-upgrade as suggested here:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/upgrading.html
I got a few errors when upgrading, but I don't know how to fix this one...

jellohouse on 9 Jan 2018

@Pau1fitz's solution worked.

@Pau1fitz's solution worked for me too. How does the create-react-native-app eject tutorial gloss over that?

Just add '$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-fcm/ios' in Header Search paths (recursive)

ispadoto on 23 Jun 2018

Still receiving this error after trying all of the above.

RN v0.56.0

Happens even if I react-native init new project.

garethiv on 5 Jul 2018

why is closed? where is the solution?

Any update for 0.56?

jamesone on 2 Aug 2018

I've run npm install from the main directory and the issue is gone. It is very strange though, as my /node_module/react-native folder was empty before that. This is what version I use:

    "react": "16.4.1",
    "react-native": "0.56.0",

ociata on 5 Aug 2018

Same issue on

"react": "16.4.1",
"react-native": "0.56.0"

None of the above mentioned solutions work.

chaitanyadeorukhkar on 28 Aug 2018

This is because the React scheme is missing from your project. You can verify this by opening the Product menu and the Scheme submenu. To make the React scheme available to your project, do this:

**Before you execute the first step below, verify if the second step is already available. If not, execute like described below.

Step 1. Run npm install -g react-native-git-upgrade followed by react-native-git-upgrade.

Step 2. Click to the menu in Xcode: Product -> Scheme -> Manage Schemes, then click '+' to add a new scheme. From the Target menu, select "React", and click the checkbox to make the scheme shared. This should make the error disappear.

@ArvoGuo @swarna-sathya
could you upvote this issue here instead of writing +1 comments?
screen shot 2018-10-03 at 17 39 27
thanks to upvoting it's possible to sort issues by number of votes;
at the other hand writing a +1 comment is a bad practice because it generates spam

btw. @Pyrolistical @Pau1fitz @kajm and all the other people who have problems with that - could you also upvote? maybe when we have more votes, somebody will fix it

piotr-s-brainhub on 3 Oct 2018

@piotr-s-brainhub I already have upvoted this, I did so when I first came across this issue. I also provided a solution above that has helped people to resolve this issue.
