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.

I have not yet been able to reproduce this, on 0.45, macOS Sierra 10.12.4, Xcode 8.3.3. I have yarn installed, which means the CLI will use it instead of npm-cli, though I don't see any boost package in my node_modules/. I am able to launch the app on iOS, though I get a RedBox due to #14246.

Thanks for the fix @srijak, I was able to reproduce this too since upgrading from 44 to 0.45, even after clearing node_modules and installing via yarn or npm.

+1 same here!

Update: downloaded and replaced boost_1_63_0.tar.gz in the .rncache folder. It seem to fix the problem for me.

I just added code in the above rev to improve the logging around this failure. If you see it again, please post the output so we can try to narrow down what's going on here.

I thought I've figured out how to fix this problem.
It turns out that the node_modules/react-native/ios-install-third-party.sh did not run out right (Maybe because the network).

download files list:
https://github.com/google/glog/archive/v0.3.4.tar.gz 
https://github.com/google/double-conversion/archive/v1.1.5.tar.gz
https://github.com/react-native-community/boost-for-react-native/releases/download/v1.63.0-0/boost_1_63_0.tar.gz
https://github.com/facebook/folly/archive/v2016.09.26.00.tar.gz

So, I did the following steps:

  1. download the files needed inside the .sh, put it in the ~/.rncache/.
  2. copy the downloaded files into node_modules/react-native/third-party/, ran tar -zxf *** to each file.
  3. build again, and worked for me.

I had this issue too, but it disappeared once I used react-native-git-upgrade for the upgrade.

Temporary Solution

Download boost_1_63_0.tar.gz to ~/.rncache/, replace if exist.

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:

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!

Fixed by removing everything from ~/.rncache/

The fix proposed by @folivi above worked perfectly for me.

For the record, I stumbled upon this issue today when creating a brand new project with react-native init
react-native : 0.46.1
react-native-cli : 2.0.1

Edit : It would appear that the above fix works on a project using react-native@0.46.1, but not with react-native@0.45.0.

For what it's worth, I can't get this working for a completely blank project.
Xcode 9.4 or Xcode 10 beta, neither command line tools.
NPM fully updated, latest version of react-native, node, npm and everything.
I do not think it's anyones' build configuration or changes to their JavaScript code.
Because I literally cannot even get an empty new initialized project to build.

@sonnytron yes screw xcode. But if your're willing to try, rm-rf ios, and react-native upgrade. will reinstall all ios build files, then react-native run-ios to re build. you can even try rm-rf node_modules and npm install

@williamdarkocode thank you but that didn't fix it. Literally a vanilla project won't build.

Heres what I did

  1. started by deleting the root folder that I tried to install to and creating a new one with a new name
  2. ran react-native init myAppName
  3. ran cd myAppName
  4. ran npm install
  5. ran react-native upgrade
  6. ran react-native link

And it worked perfectly, first time.
Was able to run iOS from xCode

run in your terminal: killall -9 node

That solved it for me!

I was getting Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist from a brand new React-Native project.

I tried a bunch of the things in this thread and had no luck. Turned out, I was running an old OS X (Sierra instead of High Sierra) and XCode (XCode 8.x instead of 9.4). I upgraded and then everything just worked.

For anyone that is having the same issue. What I did was deleted the folder ios and then applied react-native eject.
And voila. react-native run-ios works!

Reiterating what Marc said at the start of the year. This error plainly indicates the project failed to compile or link. You'll need to look further up in your output for a hint of the root cause. I've opened #21303 in order to help people who run into this issue, and will lock this thread to avoid causing more confusion.
