It looks like react native developers can't solve this issue and I should start learning flutter 🔢

Getting same issue every time even when creating new project. Any one have any suggestion how to resolve it

Parvinderjit on 9 Aug 2018

Just build your app before running react-native run-ios. And please use Markdowns when you past some errors or code.

There are a lot of questions about this issue on the internet. Please check them, here at GitHub or at StackOverflow. Creating an new issue is only handy with more information like things you have tried etc. At this moment it looks like just the same issue as all the others, so creating a new one is not really necessary. 😄

Yes there are lot of question on the internet and none of them solves my problem.
I'm facing this problem from a while and not able to solve it so I thought opening new issue would be able to attract focus of some people who can possibly help me out

Could you tell us what you have already tried? Without that, we basically just suggest to do that what already is suggested on the internet.

Every time creating a new project gives me the following:

deleting node_modules and then running command npm install
deleting ~/.rncash

Facing the same issue, can anyone help on it.
I am trying to run hello world program, I can`t build an iOS app.

NOTE: I am just trying from the react native official document.

The first answer works for me https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37461703/print-entry-cfbundleidentifier-does-not-exist

For those of you who are starting an app from scratch and do not want to use Expo, we had success getting around this error by starting the app with Expo and then ejecting.

Running from xcode and choose another older iPhone works for me, e.g. react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 8

Reiterating what Marc said in #14423 at the start of the year. This error plainly indicates the project failed to compile or link. You'll need to look further up in your output for a hint of the root cause. I've opened #21303 in order to help people who run into this issue, and will lock this thread to avoid causing more confusion.
