Unable to disable new architecture in iOS

See original GitHub issue

Description

I have recently enabled new architecture in iOS by running following command

RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 pod install

I would like to disable new architecture now, But unable to figure out a way. I couldn’t find anything from official documentation as well.

Is there anyway to disable the new architecture or creating the new project is the only way?

Thank You.

Steps to reproduce

Since it is not any error I cannot provide any reproducible steps. I am just looking for a way to disable the new architecture in iOS.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository

I do not have any code snippet since I am not facing any errors.

Hi @Yandamuri, thanks for opening the issue and I’m sorry you are incurring into it.

Could you try to:

navigate to the ios folder of your project
remove the build folder
run pod install And see if it fixes the issue?

It looks like that your build folder kept some dirty files from the previous build. Let me know if it works!

If you run RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=0 pod install you’ll be effectively disabling the New Architecture.
