Steps To Reproduce

1. npx react-native init AwesomeProject
2. open AwesomeProject in Xcode
3. configure signing
4. Select Product–>Archive

Describe what you expected to happen:

Project to build and generate an archive

Describe what happened:

Project builds successfully but then the react bundle fails with error noted above. NOTE: if I run the node bundle command manually on the command line it succeeds

Things tried:

I’ve tried deleting node_modules, clearing watchman cache and deleting DerivedData

Research seems to suggest that there is a bug in @hapi/joi version 15.0.1 and greater See: https://github.com/hapijs/joi/issues/1802

This project IS able to be built and run in debug mode.

Hi ! I’ve got the error and solved it easily :

rm -rf $HOME/.nvm/versions/node/* # remove all other versions of node
nvm install node # download the latest version of node

If you don’t have nvm, follow these steps here.

For my project, RN uses an expired version of node using nvm (v7.7.2). This version doesn’t handle the “spread operator”. By removing it and installing the latest version of node (still using nvm), RN uses the good version and then the error gone.

I hope it’ll fix yours.
