react-native: Invalid Podfile on Appcenter

I’m taking the following error on `pod install`:

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: cannot load such file -- /node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules.

I had the same error, and it was because I had not installed node dependencies and it was not able to find them at line:

require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

I just ran npm i in project root and the error went away.

Nevermind, I’ve configured Appcenter wrong. Instead of choosing the React Native configuration, I chose Object C and Swift 🤦‍♂

I am also facing this issue but npm i did not solve the issue. This issue happens only on App Center and local build just works fine.

Any one else is also facing the issue

Looks like I faced this problem cuz I switched my internet when npm install was preforming its job as it didn’t installed some packages properly.

So deleting the node_modules folder and then used npm install in root to create it again worked for me.

Hello @Daavidaviid, I’m using a monorepo architecture as well. repo-name/react-native-mobile. I solved the “can not load such file” issue by modifying the require_relative path in ios/Podfile to

# it was "../node_modeuls/@react-native-community/... before"
require_relative "../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules"
