react-native: Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

Fixed it by removing ios/.xcode.env & ios/.xcode.env.local files. As I’m using two devices to build and distribute my app, it generates ios/.xcode.env.local file which creates this issue.

If you were a MacOS user, you would have configured your development environment using zsh by default. However, because bash is used in react-native and expo, there is no node setting in bash, which causes an error. In my case, there was an error building the app in xcode. There are no errors in apps created with react-native, but there are errors in apps created with ignite-cli.

The with-node.sh file references .xcode.env, but could not find a node. So I set the path of the node statically.

echo “export NODE_BINARY=$(command -v node)” > ios/.xcode.env.local

After statically setting the node path, the build was successful in xcode.

You shouldn’t use nvm because node_modules/react-native/scripts/find-node.sh file in old React Native can’t find path to node. Removing nvm can resolve your problem. Source: stackoverflow.com/questions/66742033/phasescriptexecution-cp-user-error-in-react-native

Thanks for the link. However, I still have the same error after removing nvm. The environment now:

I can run project you mention without any problem. I suggest you check where node is by running command where node. The path should be /usr/local/bin/node or inside homebrew folder. If you have time, try my project, see if it throw same error or not.

I tried to follow the guideline for creating a new project: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup and got the error in this post again. So I guess there were some fundamental setup issues. I found this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66742033/phasescriptexecution-cp-user-error-in-react-native and discovered the nvm installed by homebrew that I missed out in the removing process.

So I did the following and finally move on from this error and the app runs 😃. Many thanks!

I managed to fix a similar issue by cleaning and reinstalling the pods after deleting node modules, deleting xcode derived data and reinstall dependencies. I tried to only reinstall pods but it was not enough, removing node-module folder + xcode derived data folder before reinstalling my deps and pods did the trick.

I also encounter this issue. Below is my config settings of react-native info :

Excellent solution ever 👌, I have tried lots of solution like setup “symlink” etc… but after two days continues r&d I found your solution and within 5-min I removed “nvm” from my mac system and install node alone and it’s work like a charm. Thank you 🙂
