Seems related to flipper, disabling it builds successfully for now as a temporary workaround

Podfile

- use_flipper!()
+ # use_flipper!()

pod install

ios/MyApp/AppDelegate.m

+ // #ifdef FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED
+ // #import <FlipperKit/FlipperClient.h>
+ // #import <FlipperKitLayoutPlugin/FlipperKitLayoutPlugin.h>
+ // #import <FlipperKitUserDefaultsPlugin/FKUserDefaultsPlugin.h>
+ // #import <FlipperKitNetworkPlugin/FlipperKitNetworkPlugin.h>
+ // #import <SKIOSNetworkPlugin/SKIOSNetworkAdapter.h>
+ // #import <FlipperKitReactPlugin/FlipperKitReactPlugin.h>

+ // static void InitializeFlipper(UIApplication *application) {
+ //   FlipperClient *client = [FlipperClient sharedClient];
+ //   SKDescriptorMapper *layoutDescriptorMapper = [[SKDescriptorMapper alloc] initWithDefaults];
+ //   [client addPlugin:[[FlipperKitLayoutPlugin alloc] initWithRootNode:application withDescriptorMapper:layoutDescriptorMapper]];
+ //   [client addPlugin:[[FKUserDefaultsPlugin alloc] initWithSuiteName:nil]];
+ //   [client addPlugin:[FlipperKitReactPlugin new]];
+ //   [client addPlugin:[[FlipperKitNetworkPlugin alloc] initWithNetworkAdapter:[SKIOSNetworkAdapter new]]];
+ //   [client start];
+ // }
+ // #endif

...

+ // #ifdef FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED
+ //   InitializeFlipper(application);
+ // #endif

I’ve raised the issue here: https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/2477

Doing the following fixed the issue for me in Xcode without disabling Flipper:

1. Go to Build Settings --> Search for “Search paths” and then add $(SDKROOT)/usr/lib/swift to “Library search paths”
2. Change “iOS deployment target” in Xcode to 11
3. Remove pods and build again , then it should work

I’m using RN 0.64.2
