Print: Entry, ":Cfbundleidentifier", Does Not Exist

Print: Entry, :CFBundleIdentifier, Does Not Exist

My problem was actually that my build was in Release mode instead of Debug mode. As a result, the identifier was pointing to something that was not in existence. I changed the build type and it ended up working.

CFBundleIdentifier does not exist on react-native

newer version of @react-native-community/cli is not working on older version react-native because in newer version they have change getProductName to getPlatformName. for more detail you can read summary of this PR

Solution

As a local workaround, patch the package by patch-package node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/build/commands/runIOS/index.js and edited getProductName (lines 362–365) to read:

 function getProductName(buildOutput) {
   const productNameMatch = /export FULL_PRODUCT_NAME\\?="?(.+).app"?$/m.exec(buildOutput);
   return productNameMatch ? productNameMatch[1].replace(/(?:\\(.))/g, '$1') : null;
 }

React Native: :CFBundleIdentifier, Does Not Exist

So on clues that I got from a colleague who commented on here, I found this article:
https://medium.com/handlebar-labs/how-to-add-a-splash-screen-to-a-react-native-app-ios-and-android-30a3cec835ae

I decided to uninstall react-native-splash-screen@3.0.6 and reinstall it like so:

npm install react-native-splash-screen@3.0.6
react-native link react-native-splash-screen

Sure enough the splashscreen error went away.

How to fix Print: Entry, :CFBundleIdentifier, Does Not Exist while running others project, what to do?

for me switching version of XCode worked great (from 10.1 to 9.2), while none of any other methods from the web did

thank you all

Print: Entry, :CFBundleIdentifier, Does Not Exist have tried most solutions

My terminal pops out the same message due to deleting some simulators I don't use in Xcode.

If you run react-native run-ios with no specific parameters, react-native will run the default simulator which is iPhone 6 with iOS 10.3.1 in my case and I deleted this simulator by chance.

Here comes my error messages:

In order to get rid of these, open up your Xcode and check for available simulators (as same as terminal listed) and run react-native run-ios --simulator="your device name"

For my case, I run react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 7", the problem solved.
