Is this a bug report?

Yes

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines?

yes

Environment

Environment:
OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.1
Node: 9.2.0
Yarn: Not Found
npm: 5.5.1
Watchman: Not Found
Xcode: Xcode 9.1 Build version 9B55
Android Studio: 2.3 AI-162.4069837

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: ^16.1.1 => 16.1.1
react-native: github:facebook/react-native#master => 1000.0.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new project with react-native init
2. Open the project in Xcode and verify that it will build locally.
3. Setup a build bot on an Xcode server for the project and manually start an integration.

Expected Behavior

The project will build the same as it did locally.

Actual Behavior

The project fails with the following:

    AppDelegate.m:12:9: fatal error: 'React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h' file not found
    #import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reproducible Demo

Any vanilla project created with react-native init will do.

I have the same problem for xcodebuild command. But Xcode 9 run build success.

I have to and XCode run and build successfully. After first buil the red message dissapiar

[Rojuinex]

Surprisingly I can build with xcodebuild just fine. This lead me to create a custom make build target to run xcodebuild to see if that got it to work. It did not. For some reason running on ccode build server causes it not to reference the React project for includes. I do have some ideas and will post when I’ve tried them out.

[Rojuinex]

Nothing I have tried has worked. It cannot resolve the React/ dependencies. Looking at the project structure, I don't see any headers under a "React" folder. They all seem to be in sub folders. I'm not sure what the major difference is between running on a build server vs running in the editor but I really don't want to have to trigger builds manually. Sort of breaks CI.

i am running into the same scenario. Would love to chat, maybe we can debug this. I have everything else working but the react native dependency cannot be found.

[Rojuinex]

Yeah that is also what I am seeing. I can't figure out why. I'd love to chat :) hit me up at my username at gmail dot com

Have you found a way around this?

[Rojuinex]

@TStrauch Not yet. Still digging around. I feel like it probably has to do with this new parallel build stuff in Xcode. I've notice it doesn't seem to save to the project file. This might not be the issue, but I've seen similar errors when parallel builds are turned on.

May be switch to cocoapods will behave better ;-)

I'm also running into this issue where my CI XCode Server bot cannot resolve the React dependencies and fails at the first header file found in AppDelegate.m. Building/Archiving manually with the same scheme works perfectly. Anyone find a solution to this?

[myusuf3]

I have kind of given up on this I spent half a day with no one having any progress. I would love to see what people come up with. I am sure the ci builds for react native have some solutions.

[Rojuinex]

To be honest, I've found that if you manually link react native, following the add to an existing project steps, the metro garbage doesn't run and you can get it to a point where I think, haven't tested, it would build with an integration system. Honestly at this point I'm finishing up the projects that I have in react native and going back to programming in pure native code. I just can't rely on react native as a viable solution at this point.

Any progress on solving this issue?

Begun appearing for me today and cannot get rid of it. Tried all suggestions here https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/12077 but no luck. react-native init new project, build in XCode and error persists.
