Steps To Reproduce

Archive a RN project at 0.63.2 with new build system in xCode 11.5 after upgrading from RN 0.61.x or lower.

Error encountered:

Multiple commands produce '/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/...-ajoyscixyrdigdfuscjixbqjltzi/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/.../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/AccessibilityResources.bundle':

1) Target 'React-Core.common-AccessibilityResources' has create directory command with output '/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/...-ajoyscixyrdigdfuscjixbqjltzi/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/.../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/AccessibilityResources.bundle'

2) Target 'React-Core.common-CoreModulesHeaders-AccessibilityResources' has create directory command with output '/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/...-ajoyscixyrdigdfuscjixbqjltzi/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/.../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/AccessibilityResources.bundle'

Current Workaround:

Remove target in your Podfile. It should look something like this (react-native 0.63.2): Note: ONLY remove React-Core.common-AccessibilityResources

target 'yourapp' do

  # your pods go here

  config = use_native_modules!

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


  # 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)

    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      if target.name == "React-Core.common-AccessibilityResources"
        target.remove_from_project
      end
    end
    
  end
end

1. Open your xCode
2. select pod folder
3. find or search React-Core.common-AccessibilityResources
4. Remove it from pod

5 rebuild your project

I had a couple of days attending this problem but I’m still getting same error or related error after testing different “solutions”

My project contains a Notification Extension and I’m getting this issue but instead to have it related with main target, i have the related with the extension.

Following Current Workaround provided on issue description, I’m getting this error on my Notification Extension:

error: Resource "/Users/angeeeld/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/..../BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/React-Core.common/AccessibilityResources.bundle" not found. Run 'pod install' to update the copy resources script.

Any idea how to address the issue?

Meanwhile, I will continue on my research, if I found something, I won’t hesitate on let you know.
