Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

Question

When I run react-native run-ios the build succeeds but I get the error below. I've checked all over the place but nothing seems to be working. Using sudo in front of the command does not help either. I am using Xcode 7.3, react-native-cli: 0.2.0, react-native: 0.24.1, node v5.11.0.

And does the bundle identifier exist in the file? I assume not, so the question is "why isn't it being written to the file". — trojanfoe, May 26 '16 at 13:06
For me it's due react-native compatibility issue with Xcode9.4. I resolved using the following steps. "rm -rf node_modules" then "react-native upgrade" then "npm install" then "react-native run-ios" — raja, Jul 18 '18 at 10:03
Raja..are you sure it's possible to run react-native upgrade after you've removed the node_modules folder? I tried and it said upgrade wasn't recognized — VK1, Sep 06 '18 at 06:46

Open Project in Xcode

If Xcode > 9 run command react-native upgrade (this overwrites all your iOS configurations, use with caution!)

then

1.Go to File -> Project settings

2.Click the Advanced button

3.Select "Custom" and select "Relative to Workspace" in the pull down

4.Change "Build/Products" to "build/Build/Products" and "Build/Intermediates" to "build/Build/Intermediates"

Add package

5.click done, done

This is may occurs if you are missing config.h file,

For update config.h file,

1) Close your Xcode.

2) Open Terminal, go to your project's root folder and do:

cd node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-{X}.{X}.{X}/

3) Run the configure script:

./configure

4) Open Xcode and try to run your app.

{X}: version number glog

If you're using Xcode 10, it may be due to an incompatibility with the latest build system of Xcode. Try switching to the legacy build system.

Open Xcode 10, File > Project Settings > Build System > switch dropdown to Legacy Build System.

@AndrewKoster it means that if you change a file in the iOS directory, it'll be overwritten.

All these custom changes made there would be overwritten. – Rodrigo Vieira Sep 20 '20 at 04:55

Does anyone know which files `react-native upgrade` might modify? Are these files part of the project? Under version control, or ignored by default? Or are they part of the OS, outside of version control? It's all very vague. – Andrew Koster Sep 20 '20 at 21:55

I faced the same problem with iOS 14 and Xcode 12.

Error: Command failed: ...../Info.plist
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

I solved it by removing my yarn.lock file and node_modules folder. Then install everything again with yarn install. The logic behind it is that this will upgrade your react-native-cli which fixes this error.

For react-native@0.46.4 the following did the trick for me:

1) Check your paths, open your .xcodeproj (not .xcworkspace) file and:

go to File > Project Settings > Advanced
custom > Relative to workspace
set the products path to 'build/Build/Products'
set the intermediates path to 'build/Build/Intermediates'
press done and save your changes

2) Run rm -rf ios/build in your project's root directory

3) Close your react packager

4) Run react-native run-ios again

Here is what i did:

2) cd project directory

3) run command react-native upgrade

4) Go to native ios folder and open xcode project.

5) Go to File > Project Settings > Advanced...

6) select custom > Relative to workspace

7) products path should be 'build/Build/Products'

8) intermediates path should be 'build/Build/Intermediates'

9) now try running command in your terminal react-native run-ios

I hope that this solutions will help some of us facing this issue.

The Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist message just indicates your project failed to compile or link. You'll need to go back through your output in order to find a hint about the actual root cause.

If you're having problems, look at the full build output, not just the last few lines. You may want to open the project in Xcode and hit ⌘B to build it. The build errors in Xcode should help you find the root cause of the failure.

If you've received this error, then you probably do not have the correct path for your application.

An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=2): Failed to install the requested application An application bundle was not found at the provided path. Provide a valid path to the desired application bundle. Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

React Native has hardcoded it as part of their run-ios command in runIOS.js

build/Build/Products/${configuration}-${isDevice ? 'iphoneos' : 'iphonesimulator'}/${appName}.app

Unfortunately, Xcode has different build paths depending on your configuration and on whether you are using an Xcode Project or Workspace. I believe the default path for an Xcode Project is build/Products.

Have you checked that you declared a bundle identifier? You can do this by Clicking on your project file in xcode and then selecting the general tab and it is listed under the first text box under "Identity". Another way to check is to check in your info.plist file in the ios folder of your project. This is how it shows in my info.plist. My actual bundle identifier for my project is in xcode.

If you run react-native run-ios with no specific parameters, react-native will run the default simulator which is iPhone 6 with iOS 10.3.1 in my case and I deleted this simulator by chance.

Here comes my error messages:

The error message similar to The domain/default pair of (../ios/Runner/Info, CFBundleIdentifier) does not exist

Means Xcode think you plist have invalid format content.

You need to past out the content of Info.plist file to find out what's wrong with that file.

One possible problem is that this <key>s and <values>s (<array>s, <string>s, or <bool>s ) are not paired correct. For example:

<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>         //<------ here is the key
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Tagueo necesita usar la camara</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Tagueo necesita usar el microfono</string>
<array>                                            //<------ here is the value
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
</array>
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad</key>   //<------ please compare this key
<array>                                            //<------ please compare this value

    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
</array>

I know it's an old issue, but if any questions here haven't solved your problem. I solved mine after reading this answer about another question. Let me explain:

I just had the same issue, and in my case, the Info.plist wasn't possible to be found, that's why my Product Name in Build Settings was wrong. I don't know why the name has changed sometime before.

error Command failed: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print:CFBundleIdentifier /Users/joaolavoier/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/WalletApp-dkxuxrpnrdamwmchtgsxasmjabmt/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/WalletApp.app/Info.plist
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist
. Run CLI with --verbose flag for more details.

    at async Command.handleAction (/Users/joaolavoier/Workspace/wallet-app/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/build/index.js:186:9)
error Command failed with exit code 1.

As you can see, it is looking for the Info.plist in /Users/joaolavoier/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/WalletApp-dkxuxrpnrdamwmchtgsxasmjabmt/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/WalletApp.app/Info.plist

But the WalletApp.app folder didn't exist.

Step to fix this:

1. Go to Target > WalletApp > Build Settings tab
1. Scroll to Packaging > Product Name
1. Changed the Product Name to WalletApp.
1. Removed the build folder rm -rf /Users/joaolavoier/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/WalletApp-dkxuxrpnrdamwmchtgsxasmjabmt
1. Clean Product > Clean Build Folder
1. Build Product > Build
1. At last in the root of your project yarn start and yarn ios.

I hope, it can help someone.

this seemed to be the issue with me too. – Feb 25 '21 at 21:07 — , Feb 25 '21 at 21:07

This worked for me. Follow steps https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html (Building Projects with Native Code).

Before running react-native run-ios command, download boost node module from https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.63.0/ and replace node_modules/react-native/third-party/boost_1_63_0

Now run react-native run-ios command

The basic reason is deploying port is not free. Either you restart the device and get all ports free else run $ lsof -i :8081 and find the process which occupied port 8081. Kill the process which is using port 8081 by running $ kill -9 {process_which_is_running_under_8081}

I am on XCode 10 with RN version 0.5.7, I tried almost all solutions and nothing worked.

After loosing a lot of time, finally the way I got it to working by doing the following

Install previous version of react-native by running react-native init project --version react-native@0.56

Open project/ios/project.xcodeproj and select Debug for command line builds

Make sure to select the correct development certificate

Run react-native run-ios once again, this time it must work.

Just open the project in xcode app and it will automatically do all the imports and resolve issues. Worked for me, Xcode 10+

Edit 1: Open the iOS folder of your app not your global folder.

no it doesnt work , with RN 0.57 and Xcode 10.1 , for a brand new react native init app – codemt Jan 03 '19 at 18:31
It doesn't work for Xcode 11.3 / RN 61.5, either. I can successfully launch in Xcode, but CLI continues to look in the wrong place in the `DerivedData` folder. I have no idea why. The endpoint in this path does not exist `/DerivedData/.../ios/build/Debug-iphonesimulator/React/`. – Mike S. Feb 23 '20 at 18:15

Try to look into previous error message happened before current error i.e., "CFBundleIdentifier”, Does Not Exist.

Fix previous error then this error should disappear.

I fixed previous duplicate symbols for architecture error when run react-native run-ios --simulator="iPad Pro (9.7-inch), then the problem gone.

I had a space in my product name. The file system can't find the build directory. I changed "Grace Church" to "GraceChurch". This doesn't affect the display name. Fix in Target > Build Settings > Packaging > Product Name

When you run npm install command some time internet issue problem, Files in node_modules\react-native\third-party is not properly downloaded so please check this is properly downloaded or not if no please remove node_modules and install it again

then run react-native run-ios command

Unfortunately, none of the mentioned solutions worked for me.

After trying out some of the answers from this issue, the following finally did work:

As one or more of the required iOS third-party libraries were not properly downloaded to ~/.rncache (meaning the files in there were corrupted and could not be unzipped), I removed the content of this folder, ran react-native run-ios again, and this eventually did the trick.

FIX FOR OSX EL CAPITAN

I'm still on OSX 10.11.6 with XCode 8.2.1 ... will upgrade someday but not today. I was able to get past the :CFBundleIdentifier error by downgrading react native to 52.0

yarn upgrade react-native@52.0

Got me a successful build on the simulator. Cheers!

Adding one to the list of possible causes: xcodebuild could be corrupted.

In my case xcodebuild didn't do anything, so it never generated the ios/build/ directory, and the above error resulted.

I used 'which xcodebuild' on the command line, deleted it, and the error was gone

Just took me a while to realize that xcodebuild was bad - I looked at log messages and manually ran the xcodebuild command with the react native parameters - no output of any kind. No build messages, no error messages, nothing. Ran with no params - same....

Leaving this here as one more thing to check if this error message appears. Is your xcodebuild working?
