Fix CFBundleIdentifier Does Not Exist

Running react-native run-ios on Mac returns CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

1.Cause: /Users/your-username/.rncachecontains incomplete boost_1_63_0.tar.gz, double-conversion-1.1.5.tar.gz, folly-2016.09.26.00.tar.gz, or glog-0.3.4.tar.gz files. Or node_modules/react-native/third-party files are incomplete.

  • Delete from /user/your-username/.rncache:boost_1_63_0, then download and install again
  • Open the terminal and run this in the project directory:rm -rf node_modules && rm -rf ~/.rncache && yarn
  • npm install
  • react-native upgrade
  • Run react-native run-ios
  1. GitHub discussion : most upvotes seem to concern path problems. Configuration really is a headache!

  2. If this still does not solve the problem, delete and regenerate the project with the build environment, then use a proxy in global mode fornpm install(or use yarn). In global mode, the latestreact-nativedid not produce a CFBundleIdentifierproblem.
