'React/RCTBridgeDelegate.h' file not found

I have created a new project called auth using react-native init auth at terminal.When i tried to run the project using react-native run-ios. The build failed and gave a error 'React/RCTBridgeDelegate.h' file not found.

Tried to update the react native version

react-native run-ios at terminal in mac

I expect the build to be successful and see the ios simulator The actual result which i got is build failed and hence cant see the simulator

In my case the libPods-FOO.a library had somehow become unlinked when I did a pod update && pod install. To see if this applies to you:

In Xcode, check under Project Navigator:

[Your Project Name] --> Targets --> [Your target name] --> General

Scroll down to Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content
If you don't have a libPods-XXXX.a in there (where XXXX is your project name) then add it:
1. Click the '+' sign to add the libPods library
2. Search for libPods in the search box
3. Choose the libPods-XXXX.a and click Add.

Just a hint: for those of you using the M1 Macs, pod install won't work. You should use arch -x86_64 pod install as stated in this issue

In case you have Mac with an Apple M1 chip, It can be resolve in two ways,

#SOLUTION 1

Open Application->Utilites->Terminal.app
Right-click, Terminal.app -> Get Info -> General-> Enable "Open using Rosetta"
Restart Terminal

#SOLUTION 2

From terminal execute

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

Go to iOS directory and execute

arch -x86_64 pod install

I did what @Vahid suggested, but I also had another issue. A set of instructions I was following told me to pull the related .xcodeproj file into my actual project and then manually link a few different files.

These steps were not necessary and were creating the issue for me.

I was following this: https://github.com/frostney/react-native-ibeacon

But it's better to use this npm package and follow their instructions: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-ibeacons

In this particular project, certain targets were not working. I noticed the broken targets with this error were missing libPods-myProjectName.a. Under Targets -> General tab, "Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content" I pressed the "+" icon and searched for "pods" and added "pods-myProjectName.a" and now it seems to work. This might not be applicable to you, but I am adding this as another possibility of what might be wrong.

follow this steps :

Select your project on Xcode
Go to Build Settings
In Search path tab select Header Search Path and add this values for both debug and release

$(inherited)

${PODS_ROOT}

${SRCROOT}/../../../ios/Pods/Headers (Make sure to set it to recursive)

[Mac OSX] I updated the cocoapods version brew upgrade cocoapods

Solution 8:^[8]

It can happen if you are using mac on M1 chip and trying to run the app on a simulator. Try to install iterm2 from official site(https://iterm2.com/), and launch it with Rosetta(Applications -> Right click on 'Iterm2' app -> "Get info" -> Check "Open using Rosetta"). Then run:

sudo gem install cocoapods
rm -rf /Users/{USERNAME}/.cocoapods/repos/cocoapods
Go to your project folder and run cd ./ios && pod install
Run build with npx react-native run-ios
