Newer Version of React Native is Available!

ℹ️

You are on a supported minor version, but it looks like there's a newer patch available - 0.72.7. Please upgrade to the highest patch for your minor or latest and verify if the issue persists (alternatively, create a new project and repro the issue in it). If it does not repro, please let us know so we can close out this issue. This helps us ensure we are looking at issues that still exist in the most recent releases.

I ran into this too, when I upgraded to Sonoma and XCode 15. I can get my project working in an iPhone simulator but it throws this error on a real device. Nightmare.

[liquidvisual]

I managed to solve it. In my case it was my version of Node 21.2.0 not having access to openSSL (I have no clue what it is/does but it's legacy now).

In XCode under Build Phases => Bundle React Native code and images, I added an additional export with a flag for openssl-legacy-provider:

set -e

export NODE_BINARY=node
export NODE_ARGS="--openssl-legacy-provider" # <~~~~~~ ADDED HERE
../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh

After this, I was able to build and archive with XCode normally. 🥳

EDIT: to get it working in the simulator with npx react-native run-ios I needed to make this change:

node_modules/react-native/scripts/find-node.sh @ L7:

set +e

Source

---

Note: Android has a similar issue with building, eg cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease, to fix that the simplest thing was to add a .npmrc file in the root of my project with the following:

node-options="--openssl-legacy-provider"

Also note: don't add this to your .zshrc / .bash_profile otherwise VSCode will have Shell problems. source

---

UPDATED:

The above eventually failed to work in dev, instead I now run the metro server via npm script in my package.json, and install onto the physical Android device afterward. Seems to work for me:

"scripts": {
  "1. start-metro-server": "export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && react-native start",
  "2. android": "react-native run-android"
}

Click properties on the project, go to build phases and check the option
"For install builds only"

Hi @mohreRohan1.
Your issue is related to a Script Phase that is failing, but the error is not explicative. To get more information, can you click on the five horizontal lines on the right (see pic below)?

Also, from the image, the script is owned by Expo, not by React Native core, as you can see by the string:

Run custom Shell script **[Expo] Configure Project**

Can you open an issue in their repo? They will be better equipped to help you.

I was facing similar issue. In my case it was happening since my machine was having 2 node versions installed. Following anwser helped me resolve this issue:

Your screenshot has "Your session has expired. Please login" error message.
I think you just need to login to your Apple Dev account from Xcode Preferences.

This commit fixed it for me: (rn 0.73.0)

I was getting this back:

The IP= was empty so after running this on my terminal ipconfig getifaddr en0 it returned nothing while ipconfig getifaddr en1 returned my machine's IP address. After visiting react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh on this repo I found out about the commit mentioned above that fixed it for me.

Worth mentioning that the build error was happening only when building on real device, on simulator the build has no issues.

I replaced the entire for with a new command to get local IP of ethernet address without need to run through a loop, and worked fine to me.

IP=$(ifconfig | grep -E "([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}" | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | head -1 | awk '{ print $2 }')
  # for num in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; do
  #   IP=$(ipconfig getifaddr en${num})
  #   if [ ! -z "$IP" ]; then
  #     break
  #   fi
  # done

Thanks very much for the info! got mine fixed right away 👍
the issue is that I can see the facebook codebase has this fixed and merged, however for the npm (node@18) and yarn installed package react-native@0.73.0 the file inside node_modules seems still be the old code... and to fix the building issue I have to manually modify the node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh for test on real device.

[cipolleschi]

@tonyjohnvan Thanks for reporting this. We have a pick request process for 0.73 in this discussion.

This time, I added the pick request myself, in this message.

Feel free to submit a pick request directly, next time! :D
