Same issue for me as well!!! Any solutions?? I tried https://dev.to/glocore/react-native-command-phasescriptexecution-failed-of9, but no success!

[rochapablo]

I'm also having trouble to start a new RN project. I've already tried to add a dummy.swift and do the Bridging Header Thing, but still not working.

Same Error i tried to create new project and facing this issue

[Yonom]

In my case, the PhaseScriptExecution script was failing for this reason:

nvm is not compatible with the "PREFIX" environment variable: currently set to "/usr/local"

There seems to be a clash in the environment variables used by react native and nvm?

I solved the issue by uninstalling nvm

Also, make sure you don't have any spaces in the project path

[giuseppealbrizio]

This happened also to me upgrading from 0.63 to 0.64. After trying all solutions with no luck, I found that moving the folder to a directory where the path contain no spaces works and build the app successfully.

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/31206

[hudsonfoo]

Per this article I used: nvm unalias default and my app is now running. Yay

[XTKKKKK]

It happened to me as well. You can check the error shell, try to run it via bash directly to check the shell problem.
In my case, I found my bash_profile is accidentally edited by anaconda, after delete it, the project could run again

[girish54321]

Hi all any update i want to try react-native 0.64 but it never builds for iOS any help.

[marcoisgood]

same here. cannot solve the issue and it shows command /bin/sh failed with exit code 11.
any idea?

I guess that's a solution 😄

Any workarounds without nuking nvm would be more than welcome though

[IMaz6]

Same issue here. Upgrading flipper doesn't change anything - also looking for a solution without uninstalling nvm.

[ferdicus]

Per this article I used: nvm unalias default and my app is now running. Yay

This only throws an Alias default doesn't exist! error for me 😞

Additionally the linked article explains how to install nvm via homebrew, which is something that nvm maintainers are explicitly recommending against, as it's not supported by them, just FYI

[ferdicus]

Interesting tidbit, when building via XCode it does not complain, compiles and installs on the simulator.
I only encounter this issue when trying to build via command line react-native run-ios 🤔

[ferdicus]

Ok, this comment on another ticket resolved the issue for me:

I'm using NVM and had the same issue for now I changed the file node_modules/react-native/scripts/find-node.sh adding before set -e:

unset npm_config_prefix
unset PREFIX

Doesn't work for me. :/
Note I am running this in CircleCi pipeline.

I have figured out a solution, if you're using nvm make sure you don't have another globally installed version of Node/npm.

If you aren't sure whether or not you have a global version, go to your bash_profile/zshrc and comment the three nvm initialization lines (export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [...]), then open a new terminal and do node --version, if it still finds something it means that you have a global version somewhere, and you can find its path with which node.

In my case I'm using Homebrew, and I had a global version of Node that I wasn't even aware coming from the yarn formula, I discovered it after running brew uses --installed node. I went ahead and uninstalled yarn using brew uninstall --force yarn, which automatically uninstalled its node/npm dependency, then uncommented the nvm initialization lines, and then I reinstalled yarn using nvm's npm with npm i -g yarn, and now everything works.

As for a proper resolution on the react-native repo, I suspect that the problem is somehow coming from find-node.sh which is a new file on 0.64. Can't really confirm or propose a solution though. cc @hramos

[serdargun]

Here what worked for me. I was using node version 15.14.0 because homebrew automatically installed this version. I uninstalled node with brew uninstall node

After that I installed node from official website with exact version 14.16.1. When installation done I clean my project with Cmd + Shift + K and run.

[Liqiankun]

rm -rf ~/.nvm

This works for me!!!!

After doing what @rdsedmundo suggested, I still didn't came by a fix so then I read the error logs a little closer and it suggested me to do:

To replace NODE_BINARY=node

with the actual result of the which node command, which in my case looks something like this:

Also CMD-Shift-K to clean the build folder (just to make sure), then build again, and everything worked fine. This method might come in handy for those who still want to keep nvm.

This worked for me, hope it helps whomever stumbles across this problem.

Run it from CLI

I'm totally dumbfounded! Something so friggin simple and obscure brought my work to a screeching halt for a day and a half! If I had any hair, I'd be pulling it out! For those as frustrated as I was, try this first. ☝🏻

[DibyajyotiMishra]

Hey guys, I found the root cause is in

react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh

Line 84 in 1465c8f

source "$RN_DIR/scripts/find-node.sh"

where $RN_DIR is undefined.
Replace source "$RN_DIR/scripts/find-node.sh" with source "$REACT_NATIVE_DIR/scripts/find-node.sh" solves the issue.

Relates to 322e8f7

This is resolved in the latest version of react-native (0.66.1)

[jadonhansen]

I had the same issue and solved it by navigating to: your app target -> Build Phases -> Bundle React Native code and images:

The fix for me was changing the "export NODE_BINARY" value to the above value which I got from running which node in the terminal.
Basically, what you want there is the path to your node binary. Whether you're using nvm or not, it shouldn't matter.

[lukeacl]

For those having this issue, I'm using NVM, I found the path of node I had active in NVM and symlinked it to /usr/local/bin/node. The other solutions above didn't work where you export NODE_BINARY etc. This fix is more of a workaround and will need to be adjusted over time / removed. Not ideal, but it works.

Hi @Yonom,
how did you discover that in your the reason was 'nvm is not compatible with the "PREFIX" environment variable: currently set to "/usr/local" '
I've uninstalled nvm as well, but still error happens while it's running custom shell script 'Bundle React Native code and images' -> ERROR: Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

Could you please help me?
Many thanks
Stefano

[princefishthrower]

Fantastic and insightful comments here, which led to my solution.

I'll add my specific solution to the pot: in my case, I also had nodenv installed, not sure how or why, I don't remember, I've always been an nvm user. (Great that we have two tools for the exact same task out there 🙄) anyway, I nuked it:

brew uninstall nodenv

But then I still had to do:

rm -R /Users/myuser/.nodenv/

And even then I still had to manually remove this line in my .zshrc (NOT .zprofile):

eval "$(nodenv init -)"

Whew, builds working again in XCode 😅

[magiskaoskar]

Updating nvm fixed it for me.
https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating

[syedamirali14]

removing set -e from Bundle React Native code images works for me in M1 Monterey, Xcode 13.1

[syedamirali14]

i fixed it
go to your terminal write nano .profile remove everything and save it
run the build and it will work.
this was happening because of environment variables conflict of NVM set in .profile

[lclarkg18]

I did several things so it's hard to know which one did it:

• Make sure you don't have errors in your bash or zshrc profile -> I had a error related to my jdk. You will know this if it when opening a terminal window it shows an error/warning
• Make sure you don't have spaces in the path
• If you are using Firebase, make sure your GoogleService-Info file is in the ios folder and not in the ios>project folder
• Do not keep the project in an iCloud folder, especially if you are low on space. I suspect this was a big factor for mine.

Finally, my worked when doing these and running react-native 0.67.2. The newer version on it's own didn't fix it, I had to do at least one of these other assertions to get it working

Things to consider:

• Running the project in Xcode will usually give you more insight into the problem
• Clearing the Xcode build folder wasn't enough on it's own to fix it but when trying a potential solution it is important you do it (and potentially also pod deintegrate && pod install) to make sure there are no traces of the previous ios build.
• I am running node version 16.13, running node 17 gave me different errors and I wouldn't recommend it to date.

I am running macOS Monterrey and Xcode 13.2.1, but I tried on BigSur and also Xcode 12.5.1 and the still got the error.

[zabojad]

In my case, re-installing nvm solved it.

Instead of removing nvm or removing nvm's default alias one could simple patch react-native's node_modules.

Update node_modules/react-native/scripts/find-node.sh around line 22 - 28

if [[ -s "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh" ]]; then
  # shellcheck source=/dev/null
-  . "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"
+  . "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh" --no-use
+  nvm use 2> /dev/null || nvm use default
elif [[ -x "$(command -v brew)" && -s "$(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh" ]]; then
  # shellcheck source=/dev/null
-  . "$(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh"
+  . "$(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh" --no-use
+  nvm use 2> /dev/null || nvm use default
fi

In a completely freshly initialized project generated via npx react-native init AwesomeProject with react-native 0.67.3, I'm still unable to build. I've tried manually setting the path to my nvm node via the xcode interface as well as symlinking it overtop /usr/local/bin/node to no avail.

My node_modules/react-native/scripts/find-node.sh already looks like the recommended version above in #31181 (comment)

Building via npx react-native run-ios also fails:

@alancwoo did you install cocoapods via gem (i.e. sudo gem install cocoapods)? If so try installing via brew.

First remove cocoapods with sudo gem uninstall cocoapods and then run brew install cocoapods.

If you're still having issues try sudo gem install ffi it may help with pod optimisations.

I had issues with installing pods when using cocoapods installed via gem. I think it's a rossetta issue.

I am running the exact same setup:
Monterey 12.2.1 (21D62)
Xcode Version 13.2.1 (13C100)
Node v16.14.0 (installed via nvm)
React Native 0.67.3

I ran into this failure too. I also debugged it down to the . "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh" line. However, I came up with a different solution. For me, mine was failing because nvm's default was pointing to an uninstalled version. If I set nvm's default to an installed version, like nvm alias default v14 then it started to work

[ZohaibAhmad786]

Per this article I used: nvm unalias default and my app is now running. Yay

You saved my day

[idesignpixels]

Took me awhile but I ran the following and it now works 🥳
nvm unalias default
Then
nvm alias default 14.17.3

You could conceivably just run the last one...

[sadohert]

I just had a similar issue. I had previously had this issue and nvm unalias default got me around it.

This time that approach did not fix it. I started to re-create the steps that were happening on that PhaseScriptExecution and I believe the find_node.sh script it uses was exited the shell (I could see my iTerm2 tab disappear every time I tried to run it).

I ended up upgrading nvm using the Upgrade Instructions and I was finally able to successfully build.

For those having this issue, I'm using NVM, I found the path of node I had active in NVM and symlinked it to /usr/local/bin/node. The other solutions above didn't work where you export NODE_BINARY etc. This fix is more of a workaround and will need to be adjusted over time / removed. Not ideal, but it works.

% which node

/Users/luke/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.5/bin/node

sudo ln -s /Users/luke/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.5/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node

This solved for me using nvm and node 16.16.0
xcode 13.4.1
react-native 0.68.2

I have figured out a solution, if you're using nvm make sure you don't have another globally installed version of Node/npm.

If you aren't sure whether or not you have a global version, go to your bash_profile/zshrc and comment the three nvm initialization lines (export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [...]), then open a new terminal and do node --version, if it still finds something it means that you have a global version somewhere, and you can find its path with which node.

In my case I'm using Homebrew, and I had a global version of Node that I wasn't even aware coming from the yarn formula, I discovered it after running brew uses --installed node. I went ahead and uninstalled yarn using brew uninstall --force yarn, which automatically uninstalled its node/npm dependency, then uncommented the nvm initialization lines, and then I reinstalled yarn using nvm's npm with npm i -g yarn, and now everything works.

As for a proper resolution on the react-native repo, I suspect that the problem is somehow coming from find-node.sh which is a new file on 0.64. Can't really confirm or propose a solution though. cc @hramos

This truely worked for me..

Since I'm using M2 macbook pro and building the ios and android via fastlane, i encountered this issue and unsure what to do. I was looking out every where for the solution, finally I found this, based on that i realised that i've installed yarn via brew and not via npm. so uninstalling the yarn and re-installing via npm -g made a big difference. It made my day. Thanks for this
post.

Cheers,
Brad
