Ignite: CFBundleIdentifier error

[koff75]

Hello !

---

I would like to start the simulator with the command react-native run-ios :

** BUILD FAILED **
The following build commands failed
Installing build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/pizza.app
An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=22):
Failed to install the requested application
The bundle identifier of the application could not be determined.
Ensure that the application's Info.plist contains a value for CFBundleIdentifier.
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

Command failed: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print:CFBundleIdentifier build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/pizza.app/Info.plist
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

---

ignite doctor results:

  node               8.12.0       /usr/local/bin/node  
  npm                6.4.1        /usr/local/bin/npm

Thans 👍 :)

The CFBundleIdentifier error is kind of a generic catch all. The real error is most likely listed a few lines above that. I suspect it's the same issue I encountered after upgrading to Mojave and Xcode 10. You'll need to run the following commands, then open Xcode and do a clean

Commands

./node_modules/react-native/scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh
./node_modules/react-native/scripts/ios-configure-glog.sh

Clean build folder

Then just run react-native run-ios again and it should work.

P.S. another issue I've recently encountered with Xcode 10 is that the simulator won't auto launch when running react-native run-ios, so I have to use Spotlight to open it manually.

Thanks for your answer, but I still have the problem with Xcode 10 and Mojave...

[AnonymousSB]

Can you provide more output? I’m interested in the errors right before it says “Build Failed”.

I just dealt with the same issue elsewhere. In order to get any react-native app working on Mojave with Xcode 10, react-native needs to be at v0.57.3. The latest Andross is using 0.55.1. My guess is the issue stems here. I've tried to run through the same steps I've used in another RN project, but still can't shake the issue with third parties in react-native. My guess is that ignite has something internally that relies on older versions.

Yeah, unfortunately there are issues with Xcode 10 and React Native. There are a couple of issues here that have some suggested bandaids, but I think a more permanent fix is still coming.

@gretzky this did the trick for me. Had to upgrade to react-native 0.57.4 then clean the build folder from Xcode. Once i did so, I also had to do the following to get 0.57.4 to transpile:

Remove "babel-preset-react-native" and install "metro-react-native-babel-preset".

Change the presets entry in my .babelrc to "presets": ["module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"].

Change the following line in App/Config/index.js from Text.defaultProps.allowFontScaling = AppConfig.allowTextFontScaling to Text.allowFontScaling = AppConfig.allowTextFontScaling

[gretzky]

@jwanga, I've already done those steps as well and still experiencing issues, but thanks!

[kevinvangelder]

Today's update of 0.57.5 is supposed to resolve the remaining XCode 10 errors. I'd suggest trying to upgrade if you're experiencing issues.

Just try Ignite this morning and have the same issue.
The one that i created using react-native init doesn't have this issue.

I'm not on Mojave.

Ignite doctor:

  node               10.6.0       /usr/local/bin/node  
  npm                6.4.1        /usr/local/bin/npm   
  yarn               1.10.1       /usr/local/bin/yarn  

React Native
  react-native-cli   2.0.1       
  app rn version     0.57.5      

Ignite
  ignite             2.1.2        /usr/local/bin/ignite  

Android
  java               1.8.0_92     /usr/bin/java               
  android home       -            /usr/local/opt/android-sdk  

iOS
  xcode              10.0      

Any idea?

@esafirm Did you try the steps posted above by @AnonymousSB? https://github.com/infinitered/ignite/issues/1329#issuecomment-431959264

still having this

[jamonholmgren]

@nikitph This is not a real error (the real error is located prior to the CFBundleIdentifier error). Please file a new issue with as much information as you can and a minimal reproducible app we can run to see the error ourselves.
