React native IOS Xcode build failing for bitcode

Question

I am new to React Native. I am trying to build my app on my ios device. It is building fine in the emulator but whenever I try to do it on my ios device I am getting the following error (picture attached).

It used to build regularly on ios device. It stopped working after I installed firebase to it following the documentation,

https://rnfirebase.io/#3-ios-setup

Not sure but it might be a flipper issue with static libraries? But really struglling here on this for a few days. I even tried enabling and disabling the bitcode option in build setting and still the same error.

Seems like this is a problem with react native 0.69.1. The workaround ( as detailed here ) is to disable bitcode in xcode settings:

Then add the following to post_install in your podfile:

installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
    end
end

It should look like this:

Make sure to comment out flipper as well
