    # Xcode 10 beta sets CURRENT_ARCH to "undefined_arch", this leads to incorrect linker arg.

Im using react native 0.63.3 ...and below is my podfile:

require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'xs' do
  config = use_native_modules!

  use_react_native!(:path => config["reactNativePath"])

  permissions_path = '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/ios'
  pod 'Permission-Notifications', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Notifications/Permission-Notifications.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Camera', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Camera/Permission-Camera.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationAlways', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationAlways/Permission-LocationAlways.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationWhenInUse', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationWhenInUse/Permission-LocationWhenInUse.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-PhotoLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/PhotoLibrary/Permission-PhotoLibrary.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-MediaLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/MediaLibrary/Permission-MediaLibrary.podspec"

  pod 'GoogleMaps'
  pod 'Google-Maps-iOS-Utils'
  
  pod 'RNSound', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-sound'

  target 'xsTests' do
    inherit! :complete
    # Pods for testing
  end

  # Enables Flipper.
  #
  # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
  # you should disable these next few lines.
  use_flipper!
  post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
  end
end

UPDATE 2/21 If you comment out the below code in Podfile....then the build gets further (as it doesnt install Flipper-Glog)...but it instead fails at Installing glog (0.3.5)

# use_flipper!()
# post_install do |installer|
#   react_native_post_install(installer)
# end

Looking into the stack-trace, it appears below are the errors:

xcrun: error: SDK "iphoneos" cannot be located
xcrun: error: unable to lookup item 'Path' in SDK 'iphoneos'
configure: error: in/Users/jamesmurphy/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/Pods/External/glog/2263bd123499e5b93b5efe24871be317-73c24:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Answer 1

After commenting out the flipper code as noted in my question update....the combination of the 2 answers below solved my issue:
Xcode, Pods ProjectName.debug.xcconfig unable to open file. Wrong directory (answer by @pragmus)
xcrun: error: SDK "iphoneos" cannot be located (answer by @Karrar Al-Mimar)

Answer 2

This error in my case was related with the Command Line Tools configuration. I just select my Xcode version as explain React Native on their documentation https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup

Xcode > Preferences > Locations > Command Line Tools

Answer 3

In my case, just selecting Command Line Tools on Xcode Settings and it will fix.

1. Click on Xcode from top left corner in Toolbar.

2. Click on Prefrence

3. Click on Location

4. Select Command Line Tools ( it should not be empty . In my case it was empty. Once i choose version then problem solve.)
