Nict thank you - it helped me! After switching from Intel to m1, the compilation of the application for the Release build failed, namely the error "main.jsbundle does not exist. this must be a bug with". This helped me:

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
cd $PROJECT_DIR/..
export NODE_BINARY=node
./node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh

For me it was a path-related issue (React Native v0.61).

To solve this issue on Apple Silicon Mac (M2), under build phase for Bundle React Native code and images:

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
export NODE_BINARY=node
../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh

Try this instead

  1. Go to Xcode
  2. Go to targets
  3. Select Build phases from the top
  4. Just remove main.jsbundle lib from Copy Bundle Resources in build phase
  5. re-run again.

In my case, I was able to fix the issue by removing main.jsbundle from Bundle Resources.

  • Open react native project in xcode
  • Check if Copy Bundle Resources build phase contains main.jsbundle
  • If it contains, remove it and build again

I was getting the error because of a bug in the code, instead of using simulator I was using Xcode to install a release build to my device which led to this error.

To fix this, run the app on the simulator make sure it builds and runs properly and then install it on your device.

You can generate a new main.jsbundle using this command.

react-native bundle --entry-file index.js --platform ios --dev false --bundle-output ios/main.jsbundle --assets-dest ios

Run this command in your project directory.

In Xcode, you should be able to find the main.jsbundle inside the Xcode project sidebar.

Xcode with main.jsbundle

  • If it isn't there, then you should drag the main.jsbundle into your Xcode project (in the default template app you can find it at ios/main.jsbundle)

  • If it is in there, but red - then you need to build a copy of the main.jsbundle which you can do via react-native bundle (and some additional args which you can look up.
