Description

I started project with version v0.57.8 I followed instruction here for upgrading to v0.58.1: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/upgrading#upgrade-based-on-git After upgrading, Android app wasn’t responding to touches but after deleting and re-installing node_modules, plus --reset-cache it’s solved.

But on iOS build i still get this error(both on run-ios and Xcode):

PBXCp /.../RNApp/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/privatedata/PrivateDataBase.h /.../RNApp/ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/include/privatedata/PrivateDataBase.h (in target: privatedata)
    cd /.../RNApp/node_modules/react-native/React

error: /.../RNApp/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/privatedata/PrivateDataBase.h: No such file or directory



** BUILD FAILED **



The following build commands failed:
	PBXCp /.../RNApp/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/privatedata/PrivateDataBase.h /.../RNApp/ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/include/privatedata/PrivateDataBase.h

Reproducible Demo

$ react-native init --version 0.57.8 Dummy
$ react-native-git-upgrade
$ git apply $TMPDIR/react-native-git-upgrade/upgrade_0.57.8_0.58.1.patch
$ rm -rf node_modules && npm install
$ react-native run-ios -- --reset-cache

Ok, I think i found the solution. When i searched for files those include “PrivateDataBase.h” they all were under the /RNApp/ios/build folder. I think they are precompiled files for faster further builds and i guess they are safe to delete because build/ folder included in .gitignore file provided by react native.

Solution: Clear under /RNApp/ios/build/ folder and re-run react-native run-ios -- --reset-cache

I was having the same error /node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/privatedata/PrivateDataBase.h: No such file or directory and this is how I fixed it.

1. In the top menu, open ‘Product’ and click ‘Clean Build Folder’.
2. Open Xcode ‘Preferences’ and navigate to the ‘Locations’ tab on the top right.
3. Under the ‘Derived Data’ input, there is a path in grey text and an arrow icon next to it. Click the arrow icon.
4. This will take you to your DerivedData folder in finder.
5. With this folder open, Quit Xcode completely.
6. Back in finder, delete all the contents INSIDE the ‘DerivedData’ folder. Do not delete the folder itself.
7. Re-open Xcode and try rebuilding your app.

Hope this helps
