How to repeat issue and example

Explain what you did, what you expected to happen, and what actually happens.
I tried to archive and build the app through Xcode for a release onto the app store.
The build fails with the following error:

clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/myname/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AppName-gozkfjyzwqgplggeljaadogheqxv/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Sphere/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/libReactNativePermissions.a'

I took a look at the path and noticed that the file libReactNativePermissions.a file is inside a directory called ReactNativePermissions. Is there a way to move it out?

This issue does not happen when building on the simulators.

I am facing the same issue.

Any idea?

I found a way to solved this issue.
Just make sure that you don't have libReactNativePermissions.a in the section "Link Binary With Libraries" of Xcode.

My issue was that the previous had linked the library using react-native link AND included it inside cocoapods. I removed the cocoapod installation and it worked for me.
