Hi @alnorris !
When you go to scheme -> edit scheme -> build. Do you have see React (missing) ? If so, i might have a solution because this happened to me. If not, need more information :/

I had the same issue. I just did following to fix:

1. Remove the package-name.xcodeproj of package from Libraries in Xcode
2. Remove package Frameworks if any, in Xcode.
3. Remove package from Build Phases > Link Binary with Libraries
4. Remove search headers of that package in: Build Settings > Header Search Paths (do that for all project Targets, even -tv, -tests)
5. Make sure the package implements correctly package-name.podspec file in root (check any community based package for reference)
6. run cd ios && pod install
7. Run: Clean ⇧+⌘+K & Clean Build Folder ⎇+⇧+⌘+K

This helped me solve the missing xxx.h files from React.
I also did remove React.xcodeproj from scheme build targets, since it was remove in latest release.

@usrbowe This is good workaround, but it doesn't solve the issue of manually linked packages. Some old packages don't have podspecs and have package owners that are unresponsive to PR's to add them.
