TypeError: [ios.xcodeproj]: withIosXcodeprojBaseMod: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'path')

[robertherber]

I run into this error when running prebuild, not quite sure what is the next step. Any ideas?

I think this is related to this open expo-cli issue: expo/expo-cli#4293

If/when that's fixed it may resolve this. But not sure of any workaround until then.

This is a bug in xcode.
We need to use patch package to fix this.
I have tried to fix this here, but it doesn't work, you need to patch-package in your own project.

First off, thanks for making this package. A bunch of people seem to ask for it, but expo hasn't made one available so far.

I think it would be good if you add (for now) to the readme that the patch needs to be applied and which steps to take.

eg:

• Run npm install --save-dev package-patch
• copy this repo's patch folder to the root of the project
• And add "postinstall": "patch-package" to the scripts section in package.json.

For me, currently, I also had to add an .npmrc file with contents:

legacy-peer-deps=true

Since in newer projects, the react versions changed, and this library still has it's dependency set to a previous version and npm install won't complete otherwise.

@matthijn generic text support and reading incoming values aren't related to this GitHub Issue; I would recommend opening separate issues for those

[matthijn]

Sorry, removed my other remarks and moved them to separate issues.
