@gkueny Do you use monorepo by any chance – do you have multiple .xcworkspace files in your project?

[gkueny]

@jakub-gonet no monorepo. I have only one .xcworkspace file in my project

can you check what's inside the listed folder: /Users/user/www/MY_APP/ios you should have '.xcworkspace' file there, does it exist?

Yes, it exist:

"myapp.xcworkspace" and also "myapp.xcodeproj"

No, just one "xcworkspace" but I have multiple envs

[gkueny]

@jakub-gonet , not sure why, but it work now for me.
I will update this issue if it happen again

Can you please run find . -name "*.xcodeproj" -o -name "*.xcworkspace" | grep -v './node_modules' (or remove ./ from node_modules if doesn't work) and attach results here?
