react-native: Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

I am running react-native run-ios and this is the error I am getting. Doing sudo beforehand does not fix the problem. Same with setting the permissions on the folder.

Xcode 8.2 still occur same error. Three lines bellow fixed it for me 😃 Downgrade react(16.0.0-alpha.12 -> 16.0.0-alpha.6) & react-native(0.45.0 -> 0.44.0) rm -rf node_modules/react npm i react@16.0.0-alpha.6 -S npm i react-native@0.44.0 -S Then run react-native run-ios

I had the error:

Failed to install the requested application An application bundle was not found at the provided path. Provide a valid path to the desired application bundle. Print: Entry, “:CFBundleIdentifier”, Does Not Exist

I found the issue: do NOT use space in your project path!

After I have spent a whole day trying to follow every possible suggestion, I took a detailed look on my terminal finally ! 😃

So here is what was my problem:

Above :CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist error i had another one that stated that lRCTBEEPickerManager module was not able to install, so I open my Xcode project => Build phases= > Link Binary with Libraries

I removed the stated module (lRCTBEEPickerManager) and error was gone.

Hope this will help someone.
