Unable to Archive ReactNative project in Mac M1

Question

When I try to Archive, I get the following error -

Multiple commands produce '/Users/kumar/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/project-giaimtwxkjihslcrnslgrczdvfrm/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/project/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/AccessibilityResources.bundle':

1) Target 'React-Core.common-AccessibilityResources' has create directory command with output '/Users/kumar/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/project-giaimtwxkjihslcrnslgrczdvfrm/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/project/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/AccessibilityResources.bundle'

2) Target 'React-Core.common-Hermes-AccessibilityResources' has create directory command with output '/Users/kumar/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/project-giaimtwxkjihslcrnslgrczdvfrm/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/project/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/AccessibilityResources.bundle'

If I remove React-Core.common-AccessibilityResources from Pods, the share extension doesn't build stating that it needs this Pod.

Stack I am using -

RN - 0.64.2
React - 17.0.1
Node - 14.17.3
npm - 7.5.0
Xcode - 12.5.1

Answer 1

Removing React-Core.common-AccessibilityResources from target in Podfile fixed the issue.

...
use_flipper!
post_install do |installer|
  flipper_post_install(installer)

  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == "React-Core.common-AccessibilityResources"
      target.remove_from_project
    end
  end
end
...

IF THAT DIDNT WORKED TRY THIS:

I fixed this error by deleting 'React-Core.common-AccessibilityResources' from my pod targets. When attempting to archive, make sure you are not using.xcodeproj and using your workspace. Even if you think you are using workspace triple check. Also if you try archiving through the command line you must specifically state workspace.

Answer 2

I figured out, that I was having a different configuration of ReactNative for the share extension than the main app, which was importing the dependencies twice.

Here's a snippet from the PodFile

target 'project' do 
  ...
  use_react_native!(
    :path => config[:reactNativePath],
    :hermes_enabled => true
  )

  ...
end

target 'shareExtension' do
  ...
  use react_native!
  ...
end

For the share extension, I replaced the config with this

target 'shareExtesion' do
  use_react_native!(
    :path => config[:reactNativePath],
    :hermes_enabled => true
  )

  ...
end

After making this change in Podfile , do necessary cleanups, pod install and it worked fine.
