### Steps to reproduce

i migrated my app to a new clean version of a React native 0.72.1. i install my dependencies successfully using `yarn install`, then i run `pod install` successfully, but when i try to run the project on iOS, it throws me `'react/debug/react_native_assert.h' file not found` error.

This looks similar to this reported issue: #38140 (comment), can you read that thread if that's useful to unblock yourself.

I've read that threat but that issue is for version 0.69.1, so it didn't really help

[maksibajo4]

@blakef even after applying the patch react-native@0.72.1.patch
I still get the same error:

/Users/user/Documents/projects/UpdateTest/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/react/utils/RunLoopObserver.cpp:10:10 'react/debug/react_native_assert.h' file not found

Did you rerun bundle exec pod install after applying the patch?

[maksibajo4]

@blakef yes i did, i also tried to remove all pods and cache to do a clean bundle exec pod install, but still the issue persists.
