[Master Task] Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

Please see #21303 to understand why you’re running into this

(Edited by @hramos - the original issue text has been replaced with a description of the problem)

Description

This issue describes a class of failures where the iOS build fails with the following output:

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

This error message is a red herring as the problem is not actually caused by a missing :CFBundleIdentifier entry. What this output means is that your iOS project could not be built successfully.

If you are encountering this issue, please try the following:

1. Upgrade to the latest React Native release.
2. Upgrade to the latest Xcode version.
3. Read through the Getting Started guide if you haven’t in a while, and make sure your development environment is up to date.
4. Try building your project again.

If none of these resolve your issue, please read through this thread to learn about what has worked for others. Please refrain from adding “me too” comments unless you have material information that contributes to others’ solutions.

After trying absolutely everything in this tread and this one https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/7308 I still kept getting the same issue on: react-native-cli: 2.0.1 react-native: 0.45.1

My build process would just error out and stop, giving me:

** BUILD FAILED **


The following commands produced analyzer issues:
	Analyze /Users/<MASKED>/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga/yoga/YGNodeList.c
	Analyze /Users/<MASKED>/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga/yoga/Yoga.c

(2 commands with analyzer issues)

The following build commands failed:
	CompileC /Users/<MASKED>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Build/Intermediates/React.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/third-party.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/Bits.o /Users/<MASKED>/node_modules/react-native/third-party/folly-2016.09.26.00/folly/Bits.cpp normal x86_64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler

Command failed: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print:CFBundleIdentifier build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Mindchat.app/Info.plist
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

I then deleted the ios/ and android/ folders and did react-native eject then tried react-native-git-upgrade for the thousand time, and it worked!

My fix was a match of some of the above mentioned solutions: rm -rf node_modules && rm -rf ~/.rncache && yarn
