Invalid `Podfile` file: cannot load such file

I'm getting to ios folder and use "pod install" command.

And error below

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: cannot load such file -- /Users/blabla/works/blabla-app/node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.

  from /Users/blabla/works/blabla-app/ios/Podfile:2
   -------------------------------------------
   require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
   require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
   
   -------------------------------------------

I removed node_modules folder, I deleted package-lock.json and used "npm install" command. I deleted cocoapods and reinstall.

And nothing worked for me.

My package.json file is below (only packages not all)

my podfile: I remembered that, I downgraded from react 63.2 to 62.0

require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'

platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'blabla' do
  config = use_native_modules!
  use_react_native!(:path => config["reactNativePath"])

  pod 'RNSVG', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-svg'

  pod 'RNVectorIcons', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons'

  target 'blablaTests' do
    inherit! :complete
    # Pods for testing
  end

  # Enables Flipper.
  #
  # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
  # you should disable these next few lines.
  use_flipper!
  post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
  end
end

target 'blabla-tvOS' do
  # Pods for [YourProjectName]-tvOS

  target 'blabla-tvOSTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end
end

None of the mentioned solutions worked for me. I was using VsCode with Auto Attach: Always configuration. Disabled it and ran pod install. Worked well!

I resolved this by terminating all running node.js instances and running pod install again.

Upgrading react native

I ran into this problem when upgrading from react-native 0.66.5 to 0.73.1 following the steps in the Upgrade-guide.

Part of the upgrade is modifying the node_modules path/reference in the PodFile. After modification the error occurred when a ran pod install.

Stopping all instances of node resolved the issue.

I encountered this same issue while trying to go through React Native's Setting up the development environment guide and tried the following to no avail:

What finally fixed it was following this advice to disable Auto Attach on VSCode.

What worked for me whas deleting the ios directory and then running the build command again, i.e.:

rm -rf ios
eas build -p ios

(or whatever build command you are using)

You are likely missing the react-native npm module.

You should include it in your packages.json to reduce the likelihood of encountering this error in the future, by using this command.

$ npm install --save react-native
