Describe what you expected to happen:

1. run react-native run-iosand react-native run-android was both successfully.
   2.but use Xcode build button failed.

the same

any suggestion or solution ？

[JslinSir]

error:library not found for -lDoubleConversion

Seek help as well.

[JslinSir]

any suggestion or solution ？

both react-native run-ios and in xcode the same error

[JslinSir]

any suggestion or solution ？

Do the below steps

go to ios/
run 'pod install' or 'pod update'
open ios/newproject.xcworkspace

I have no idea if this would help, but sometimes for my own app, attempting to build in Xcode multiple times in a row may result in a successful build. For example, I would try building ~5 times (each with a different 'file not found' error), and on the 6th time the build would succeed.

Same thing here – on both Xcode and react-native run-ios. None of these suggestions have helped. This is a project that is being upgraded from RN 0.59 to 0.60.5.

This may not help everyone but regarding the -IDoubleConversion library specifically, I noticed that my copy was incorrect so it might be worth checking.

I used this copy instead to get past the missing -IDoubleConversion: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/third-party-podspecs/DoubleConversion.podspec

Hi guys, in fact, I don't know the real cause of this problem and how to fixed this issue.but

I JUST UPDATE MY Xcode VERSION FROM 10.0 (10A255) TO 10.3 (10G8), REOPEN AND REBUILD

IT WORKS . 😢

Having the a similar problem with my midsized project after upgrading to 0.60.5. It actually fails at finding CocoaLumberjack, but I expect this to be the case because of dependency and sorting. I am not 100% sure, but release builds seem to be rather the problem than debug builds?!

I use AppCenter as my CI. I created this minimalist project (just react-native init) which also fails building there (this one actually fails at finding DoubleConversion).
Bitbucket Repo

I currently expect a problem with the generated .xcworkspace file, but that's a part I didn't dig into yet.

Here are the logs of the minimalist iOS build that fails.

same Problem
Upgraded to react-native 0.60.5
XCode Version 10.3

It appears we got through our issue upgrading from 0.59 to 0.60. Maybe this will be helpful to you:

Many of the libraries we were linking to in the "Link Binary with Libraries" build step in Xcode were now present in Cocoapods. By removing all of the libraries from that build step except for libPods-Qeepsake, we were able to get past the DoubleConversion error and the build now works.
