Is it a clean project or upgraded?

[LuigiMaestrelli]

Getting a similar error but on another lib.
running a react-native run-ios works
But the build from xcode breaks.

@radko93 Mine is an upgraded one.

[LuigiMaestrelli]

I found out...
I was opening then project file(xxx.xcodeproj) and not the WORKSPACE file (xxx.xcworkspace)
Man, what a stupid mistake... I lost hours on this.

I figure out because the pods was showing like a folder on the project navigator and not like a project.

Hope that solves for you.

[radko93]

@enri90 if the solution won't help I will reopen this

[scarlac]

Had this issue. Had my workspace file open, not project, so @LuigiMaestrelli's suggestion did not fix it. However, I found my issue.

Things to check for:

1. Make sure Yoga is included in your ios/Podfile. It should look something like this:

pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/'
pod 'React-Core', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/React'
# ... several other React-related things here
pod 'yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'

If the pod 'yoga' line is not added already, make sure to do it. Or go back and follow the upgrade guide for RN 0.60, so you get the full list of required libraries.

1. Run pod install in your ios/ folder

2. If you already had the line added and pod install did nothing, open the Xcode workspace and click the Pods project:
   
   You should see a long list of (react native) libraries linked. It looks like this:
   

If you do not see "yoga" listed, then you may have some script that is removing it.

1. If you added this script from react-native-config, it contains the problem! It unlinks yoga, which caused the problem for me.

Comment the lines:

or any other lines that may be running a "remove_from_project" command.

Project now builds in Xcode for me.

[MattPark]

@scarlac I think you meant _comment_ the lines. For me, I just removed the yoga part.

[helderburato]

Maybe these steps can be helpful: 'GeneratedDotEnv.m' file not found.

[coldbess]

I have the same problem RN0.59.10 upgrade to RN0.60.0
@scarlac solved my problem, thanks !

~Next step RN0.60.0 to RN0.61.0
