'react-native run-ios build is extremely slow

I ran the react-native run-ios command to build my react-native app and it doesn't seem to be building(waited 20 mins). I have not encountered this issue on the same project in the past and am stumped. Previously, I had run the same app on the same laptop and it built just fine. I am currently using an updated react-native 0.61.2 on a Macbook Air 2013, could that have something to do with the issue? Note, there is no error message, the app just doesn't finish building. Picture is attached below of what I see before quitting.

Restarting my laptop didn't work.enter image description here

You can try opening your /ios/*.xcworkspace in xcode and run the project through a simulator there. You'll see the progress plus more details in case of any errors.
