Same here. "Build Location -> Per-configuration Build Products Path" is not exist (xcode 11.3.1)

[hemith]

It works.

Basically, follow this doc.
https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-code-push/blob/master/docs/multi-deployment-testing-ios.md
1.
2.

1. Add CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR using "Add User-Defined Setting" in Build Settings
   instead of Per-configuration Build Products Path
   8.
   9.
   10.
2. pod install
3. set post install - https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push/issues/426

in Xcode Help Document (Xcode Help in xcode menu)

Per-configuration Build Products Path (CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR)
The base path where build products will be placed during a build for a given configuration. By default, this is set to $(BUILD_DIR)/$(CONFIGURATION).

Hey @whereiscode,
Sorry for the delay.

I hope @hemith answere helped you, so I'll close the issue for now, but if you still have any questions, feel free to reopen it.

Are there plans to revise the multi-deployment documentation to mention this update for XCode 11?

Had to add the values for Debug, Release and Staging before setting the name to 'CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR' otherwise XCode would crash. I think it didn't like empty values.

Debug + Release: $(BUILD_DIR)/$(CONFIGURATION)$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME)

As per docs:
Staging: $(BUILD_DIR)/Release$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME)

@sinn1 thank you

@hemith
About step 12. set post install - #426
inside this PR (#426 ) they instruct to add a snippet to Podfile
with the config key CONFIGURATION_TEMP_DIR
But i don't see any related to this key in the Build Settings...
Should it be added??

[hemith]

@erez-guesty
Skip Step 12. It is not necessary.

For people who also need to update Pod dependencies but couldn't use pod install for whatever reason, have a try to update PODS_CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR under "Build Settings" -> "User-Defined".

Similar like what you did for CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR, update the value for your new config as: ${PODS_BUILD_DIR}/Release$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME)

Our project wasn't crashing, but it was having some build issues. Specifically this error: Library not found for -lPods-App, this fixed it.
