IOS Build fails for Xcode 15

[GraxMonzo]

Summary

Running npx expo run:ios after pre-building the project with the command npx expo prebuild --clean causes a build error for Xcode 15.

After some research I found a similar problem here facebook/react-native#37748 and a pull request that solves this problem facebook/react-native#37758 which was released in the react-native version 0.70.10 . So I tried manually updating the react-native version in package.json to 0.70.10 and running the pre-build via npx expo prebuild --clean --skip-dependency-update expo,react-native to avoid downgrading package version but it didn't do anything.

Build error:

Hi @GraxMonzo! Thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, this is caused by an issue in React Native itself. I can see you already found the thread, just pasting it here to connect it from this end as well: facebook/react-native#37748

Once React Native 0.71.11 is released, this should be fixed.

[byCedric]

@GraxMonzo React Native 0.71.11 is out! If you upgrade to this version, I assume this is fixed, which should be compatible with Expo SDK 48.

If you run into anything else, feel free to let us know!

Hi thanks for your help, But I found the react-native version automatic changed to 0.71.8 after modify the version from 0.71.8 to 0.71.12 when I execute expo prebuild. Is that about this arguments?

expo prebuild --clean --skip-dependency-update react-native # It works, the version didn't change.

How to avoid this happening and do not need to use this argument? Is wait for the newer version of Expo@48.* ?

Upgrading the version to 0.71.11 solved the problem for me.
