CFBundleIdentifier Does Not Exist from react-native run-ios

[tam-borine]

When I try to run the ios simulator for FirestackApp with react-native run-ios from project root I get this error. Any thoughts?

[SamMatthewsIsACommonName]

I think as per our discussion on Facebook this is POSSIBLY because you just did npm install without using the link command? So your xcode wasn't really configured properly?

[tam-borine]

I've just done a npm install, react-native link and cd ios && pod install and still getting this error. But it looks like something to do with an unspecified bundle ID in XCode. Will post updates..

[tam-borine]

The bundle ID in a working project of mine above.

The bundle ID of FirestackApp above.

These screenshots are of Info.plist files in XCode.

@tam-borine Hello, Tam! Did you find which problem it was? Thank you!

[annelorraineuy]

I am getting this problem as well. How did you solve it?

[henrycity]

I also have the same problem here. Has anyone solved it?

I haven't checked the master branch but v3 is just around the corner so make sure you're on feature/v3, and use yarn instead of npm install. I don't know what exactly is causing this error but using the locked down versions fixes it. You may want to remove node_modules to avoid errors, or just start from scratch:

git clone [email protected]:fullstackreact/FirestackApp.git
cd FirestackApp
git checkout feature/v3
yarn
react-native link
cd ios
pod install
cd ..
react-native run-ios

Thanks so much replying...Any idea on when v3 will get out the door?

@designorant the yarn command just hangs at fetching packages. although npm install works but the error exists:
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

Same issue, is it possible MacOS 10.12 or perhaps some related Xcode version/library is required?

MacOS 10.11

I had to edit my Podfile after the link step and before pod install. The below works for me. :)

ios aj$ cat Podfile
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'FirestackApp' do
  # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
  # use_frameworks!

  # Pods for FirestackApp

  target 'FirestackAppTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

[
  'Firebase',
  'Firebase/Core',
  'Firebase/Auth',
  'Firebase/Storage',
  'Firebase/Database',
  'Firebase/RemoteConfig',
  'Firebase/Messaging'
].each do |lib|
  pod lib
end
pod 'DCTAuth', :git => 'https://github.com/danielctull/DCTAuth.git'

Same for me with ajostergaard's updated Podfile (above)

...

Installing build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/FirestackApp.app
An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=2):
Failed to install the requested application

See the same error in the react-native repository at

   facebook/react-native#7308

Using with ajostergaard's updated Podfile (above) (I'm not sure if it helped?)

I got it to compile by ...
cd to the FirestackApp directory
npm install react-native-git-upgrade
npm install -g react-native-cli
npm install
react-native upgrade
react-native run-ios

This resolved the problem described in this issue.

Sadly...
The app came up in the simulator for a second and displayed "Native module cannot be null"

See the same error in
