my quick fix: file: /node_modules/react-native/node_modules/xcode/lib/pbxProject.js line 1146: change the condition from if(searchPaths) to if (searchPaths && searchPaths !== '"$(inherited)"')

hey @qruzz . It’s been a while, but I think I remember what I was talking about:

Somewhere near the bottom of the file, you’ll have your build configurations. In here there are several build settings, including HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS, FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS, and LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS. react-native unlink seems to be expecting these to be lists in all cases, but many projects just have one value as in

HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS = "$(inherited)"

Instead, as a workaround, you should make them into a list:

HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS = (
	"$(inherited)",
);
