React-native: Invalid Podfile on Appcenter

I'm taking the following error on pod install:

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: cannot load such file -- /node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules.

Same problem.

Nevermind, I've configured Appcenter wrong.
Instead of choosing the React Native configuration, I chose Object C and Swift 🤦‍♂

[RishavKumar-3796]

Answering anything and closing the issue wont help!

[danilowoz]

For me, it is clear enough that it wasn't a React Native bug, but a mistake of mine.

So if you got this error on Appcenter, make sure you've configured right the settings, in my case I choose Object C and Swift, which is obviously wrong.

If you're getting this error in another context, please open another issue.
Because I haven't faced this error again.

install yarn in terminall

I face it

I had the same error, and it was because I had not installed node dependencies and it was not able to find them at line:

require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

I just ran npm i in project root and the error went away.

[tonydung2011]

The issue usually appears when missing the react-native dependency. So ensure that you don't mistakenly delete react-native in your package.json

I am also facing this issue but npm i did not solve the issue. This issue happens only on App Center and local build just works fine.

Any one else is also facing the issue

Same problem on AppCenter. That's how I found this issue.

[Daavidaviid]

I found a solution to my problem.
I have a monorepo architecture. And the yarn.lock file is located at the root.
So when I was selecting mobile-app/package.json in the AppCenter UI, the bot was looking for yarn.lock that didn't exist. So I created an empty yarn.lock file in the mobile-app/ folder

And now, I have an other issue (android can build now) on iOS:

Error: Cannot find module '/Users/runner/runners/2.165.0/work/1/s/mobile-app/node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js'

It's looking for mobile-app/node_modulesbut it should be /node_modules ...

[samthuang]

Hello @Daavidaviid, I'm using a monorepo architecture as well. repo-name/react-native-mobile. I solved the "can not load such file" issue by modifying the require_relative path in ios/Podfile to

# it was "../node_modeuls/@react-native-community/... before"
require_relative "../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules"

Do
1: npm i
2: react-native link (if any)
3: cs ios && pod install && cd ..
