I was able to get past this error by creating a new RN project inside a different parent folder
No problem!I feel the same way about it and was surprised the folder name could cause this but at least it works now haha.
If anyone figures out why this happens, please let me know 😃
My theory was maybe certain characters in the folder path cant be processed in xcode
@robertthecoder Your solution worked! Thank you!

SOLUTION: Use a different parent directory
I simply tried the exact same commands from my Desktop and a new project built and ran first time! Obviously this isn’t perfect, as I would like to continue having my projects located in the existing directory I’ve been using, but this at least means we know it’s related to a location, and I can continue development.
I don’t know how to resolve the issue in the original location, i.e. /my-username/my-apps, but perhaps someone else does?
Until this, everything I had tried had not solved the issue, but the errors were so inconsistent it was almost impossible to debug.
I have the same issue
