I was looking around for any solution and found this thread. Maybe https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/7308#issuecomment-219597774 can help you solving this issue.

I propose to keep all discussions about :CFBundleIdentifier errors in one thread. Therefore, closing this issue in favor of https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/7308

DO NOT use space in project path. It had solved my problem.

What do you have in “Bundle Identifier” here and here?

Kureev on Mar 20, 2017

I have got the same problem, and solved this problem by checking the console log and found this issue may be raised by another issue. the log has some errors: there is something wrong with the third-party:boost_1_63_0, and reports file not found, according this https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/14404,I finally solved this problem by replace the boost_1_63_0 with the one I downloaded

in my case I got this error from having the xcworkspace file saved in the folder ios and it stopped from using command react-native run-ios. I have this xcworkspace because it is required to have that from using fastlane to run another CI.

react-native run-ios
Scanning 804 folders for symlinks in /Volumes/RAMDISK/reactnative/gl/node_modules (107ms)
Found Xcode workspace onlyfastlane.xcworkspace
Launching iPhone 6 (iOS 10.2)...
Building using "xcodebuild -workspace onlyfastlane.xcworkspace -configuration Debug -scheme onlyfastlane -destination id=21C21FEE-A13E-43F3-9C61-E4EFFC98A46E -derivedDataPath build"
User defaults from command line:
    IDEDerivedDataPathOverride = /Volumes/RAMDISK/reactnative/gl/ios/build


xcodebuild: error: The workspace named "onlyfastlane" does not contain a scheme named "onlyfastlane". The "-list" option can be used to find the names of the schemes in the workspace.

RN 0.42.3 XCode 8.2 Once I removed the workspace file and everything run as normal. Please fix that

@mrbone xcode version 8.2.1

alekseylovchikov on Mar 9, 2017

@alekseylovchikov same issue, check your xcode version, if it’s 7.2.1, you should update to xcode8. For me it works.
