[iOS Archive fails] - main.jsbundle does not exist. This must be a bug with

[mare95]

Description

After bumping react native to v0.75.4 and few other dependencies xCode Archive started failing.

Note that building and running the app locally works as expected both for iOS and Android only Archive fails at the very end.

Any info on how to resolve this issue is much appreciated

Steps to reproduce

These are the basic steps i followed:

1. installed new deps with yarn install
2. updated pods cd ./ios && pod update
3. opened app in the xCode and cleaned build folder Product > Clean build folder
4. run archive Product > Archive

=> Archive fails at the very end with the error that is attached

Note that i tried deleting DerivedData, clearing yarn and pod cache but that didn't work.

Could you provide a repro?

I have similar issue when archive never finishes

I've seen something similar here: #46352

[JedrekDabrowski]

@mare95 it could be issue with xCode 16 not with rn 0.75

[jeffngugi]

I also faced the same issue after upgrading react native project

I use this command to make main.jsbundle
"build-ios": "react-native bundle --entry-file='index.js' --bundle-output='./ios/main.jsbundle' --dev=false --platform='ios'"

After, I add it in Bundle Resources in build phases in xCode
