RN 0.60.5 iOS release build "No bundle URL present" after updating

[rnnyrk]

I've just updated my project from React Native 0.59.9 to 0.60.5 with react-native upgrade and the update helper mentioned in the official blog post. Although my project is already a little "complex" because it's using some libraries etc. it seemed the update was successful.

But unfortunately my app won't work with the Test - Release scheme anymore. On the debug scheme it works without any problems. The release also reaches the "Build succeeded" status, but as soon the app launches it's stuck because of the "No bundle URL present" error (see also my attached Xcode screenshot).

I've tried everything I could find on the internet so far. Re-installing the NPM dependencies and Pods; removing the build folder, changing the NSAppTransportSecurity in the Info.plist, but
it won't resolve the issue.. The deployed app via TestFlight breaks as well on startup.

React Native version:

System:
OS: macOS 10.14.6
CPU: (4) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7360U CPU @ 2.30GHz
Memory: 430.30 MB / 8.00 GB
Shell: 5.3 - /bin/zsh
Binaries:
Node: 10.11.0 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v10.11.0/bin/node
Yarn: 1.10.1 - /usr/local/bin/yarn
npm: 6.4.1 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v10.11.0/bin/npm
Watchman: 4.9.0 - /usr/local/bin/watchman
SDKs:
iOS SDK:
Platforms: iOS 12.4, macOS 10.14, tvOS 12.4, watchOS 5.3
Android SDK:
API Levels: 23, 26, 28, 29
Build Tools: 28.0.3, 29.0.0
System Images: android-29 | Google APIs Intel x86 Atom
IDEs:
Android Studio: 3.4 AI-183.6156.11.34.5522156
Xcode: 10.3/10G8 - /usr/bin/xcodebuild
npmPackages:
react: 16.9.0 => 16.9.0
react-native: 0.60.5 => 0.60.5
npmGlobalPackages:
react-native-cli: 2.0.1

Steps To Reproduce

1. Update react-native from 0.59.9 to 0.60.5
2. Remove node_modules, ios/Pods, ios/build and Podfile.lock
3. Re-install node_modules and run pod install
4. Open Project.xcworkspace
5. Select the scheme "Project - Test" go to "Edit scheme > Run > Build Configuration" and change the scheme to "Test - Release"
6. Build the project (on device or simulator, doesn't matter)
7. "Build succeeded" and app starts
8. App is stuck on splash screen and Xcode shows the error as in the attached screenshot

The AppDelegate.m should link to the correct bundle file right? This code is in there:

- (NSURL *)sourceURLForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge
{
#if DEBUG
  return [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index" fallbackResource:nil];
#else
  return [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
#endif
}

[rnnyrk]

I've found a solution in this Stack Overflow post. Following these steps you can create a main.jsbundle and assets folder and add it to your project.

1. Run the following command: react-native bundle --dev false --platform ios --entry-file index.js --bundle-output ios/main.jsbundle --assets-dest ./ios
2. Add main.jsbundle and assets directory to Xcode by dragging them in your project.

Although this feels like a temporary solution.. I've got two main.jsbundle files right now. Can I delete the one in my project folder? And the assets folder includes some node modules do I have this command every time I add new modules and manually drag the assets in my project root?

Also when I build it via CI/CD (Bitrise) there is no main.jsbundle created in the root since it is ignored by default in .gitignore. So my TestFlight builds are still failing. How to handle this?

What exactly is happening here?

[rnnyrk]

Resolved the issue. Seemed like my project was missing a shell script to automatically build the bundle and assets under "Build Phases > Bundle React Native code and images". Also Xcode was crashing when I opened this section.

I opened the file /ios/Project.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, searched for this part:

/* Begin PBXShellScriptBuildPhase section */
		00DD1BFF1BD5951E006B06BC /* Bundle React Native code and images */ = {
			isa = PBXShellScriptBuildPhase;
			buildActionMask = 2147483647;
			files = (
			);
			inputPaths = (
			);
			name = "Bundle React Native code and images";
			outputPaths = (
			);
			runOnlyForDeploymentPostprocessing = 0;
			shellPath = /bin/sh;
		};

and added the shell script, so I ended up with:

/* Begin PBXShellScriptBuildPhase section */
		00DD1BFF1BD5951E006B06BC /* Bundle React Native code and images */ = {
			isa = PBXShellScriptBuildPhase;
			buildActionMask = 2147483647;
			files = (
			);
			inputPaths = (
			);
			name = "Bundle React Native code and images";
			outputPaths = (
			);
			runOnlyForDeploymentPostprocessing = 0;
			shellPath = /bin/sh;
			shellScript = "export NODE_BINARY=node\n../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh\n";
		};

Hopefully this prevents others to spend 2 days on this ;)

[arthurstockler]

there is already this line in my file,
however, when running use of my device or error continues.
He is only working on the emulator

[eggybot]

got this issue coming from RN0.60.5 to RN0.61.1, I experience so many issue upgrading to the latest version. Then the only issue I'm facing now is this one. The Metro bundle was not initiating and I need to manually run "react-native start" which is not good. I hope someone can find solution for this issue.

I downgraded to Xcode 10.3 and applied that, it's working now thank you.

[ergunyasar]

It happened to me as well when I upgraded react-native from '0.59.9' to '0.61.2'. For anyone still experiencing this, after the upgrade please check if there is a build phase in xcode called Start packager. If not click the + sign and choose 'new run script phase'. You will see a new phase called 'Run script' added to the bottom of the build phases. Add this shell script code

export RCT_METRO_PORT="${RCT_METRO_PORT:=8081}" echo "export RCT_METRO_PORT=${RCT_METRO_PORT}" > "${SRCROOT}/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/.packager.env" if [ -z "${RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER+xxx}" ] ; then if nc -w 5 -z localhost ${RCT_METRO_PORT} ; then if ! curl -s "http://localhost:${RCT_METRO_PORT}/status" | grep -q "packager-status:running" ; then echo "Port ${RCT_METRO_PORT} already in use, packager is either not running or not running correctly" exit 2 fi else open "$SRCROOT/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command" || echo "Can't start packager automatically" fi fi

Change its name to 'Start packager' and move it to the between 'Check Pods Manifest.lock' and 'Compile sources'. I hope it helps.

[NirvaleO]

I'm having the same issue. I open my bundler manually and even though it seems like the app can't reach it even though NSAppTraspotSecurity is correct.
Anyone has found solutions for this?

[davidmarinangeli]

Same for me, @ergunyasar your solution doesn't work. It gives me an error during build.

[rnnyrk]

I re-opened this issue since a lot of people seem to have encounter the same error with assumedly another solution.

[davidmarinangeli]

The script that I have found in another issue and that is working for me is the following:

export RCT_METRO_PORT="${RCT_METRO_PORT:=8081}"
echo "export RCT_METRO_PORT=${RCT_METRO_PORT}" > "${SRCROOT}/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/.packager.env"
if [ -z "${RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER+xxx}" ] ; then
if nc -w 5 -z localhost ${RCT_METRO_PORT} ; then
if ! curl -s "http://localhost:${RCT_METRO_PORT}/status" | grep -q "packager-status:running" ; then
echo "Port ${RCT_METRO_PORT} already in use, packager is either not running or not running correctly"
exit 2
fi
else
open "$SRCROOT/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command" || echo "Can't start packager automatically"
fi
fi

All the steps are pretty much the same that @ergunyasar wrote: the only thing that changes is the script code above.

RN 0.61.3

[CooperCodeComposer]

Yes! Thx a lot @davidmarinangeli and @ergunyasar adding the script (David edition) worked for me (after trying a bunch of the other solutions out there).

[francisl]

I was trying to go through the official "Getting Started" and I faced the same issue following all the steps.
The expo "Getting started" steps are working though.

Setup:

• Latest MacOS,
• Latest node
• Latest react-native.

First error (default port)

First, when I keep the default port, it will crash with a port in use error: (Note that there is nothing listening on that port. lsof -t -i:8081 return nothing

npx react-native run-ios

Port 8081 already in use, packager is either not running or not running correctly
Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:
	PhaseScriptExecution Start\ Packager /AwesomeTSProject2/ios/build/AwesomeTSProject2/Build/Intermediates.noindex/AwesomeTSProject2.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/AwesomeTSProject2.build/Script-FD10A7F022414F080027D42C.sh
(1 failure)

Second Error with custom port (no bundle error)

Then if I change the port
npx react-native run-ios --port 9092

I got the same error as describe here

no bundle url present

@rnnyrk solution works fine as long as I keep specifying a custom port.

When I use the default, I got the first error even after the fix.

[NetPumi2]

I use @davidbiedenbach solution and i had to combinate it with this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54230598/2360269

[jeffminsungkim]

@eggybot Are you using iterm2 or integrated terminal in VS Code? If so, run react-native run-ios command from a default terminal. For me, it solved the issue. I couldn't believe how I spent a few hours on this.

[vj-raghavan]

All,

I am on the latest version of react-native cli and react-native,
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.61.5
I am trying to initialise a brand new project and run it in the iOS simulator and have run into this issue consistently no matter what I try , i. e create a new project, remove the build directory in iOS and try running it.

However the video suggestion did work but it had a lot of unnecessary side effects like losing hot reloading etc.

Is there a fix available for this issue ? if downgrading is an option I am happy to downgrade the cli and react-native versions.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Rutvik17]

I am upgrading from react native 0.59.10 to 0.60.6 and i am facing this issue, i have tried all the solutions/suggestions posted in this thread. But no luck 😞 If anyone has found a solution please help.

Okay, Here is what happened now. I created a new project and initialised it as per usual and it worked. I used npx react-native run-ios and it seems to have worked without any issues.. Previously I was using react-native run-ios. Which I reckon may have used a older version of react-native hanging around somewhere in my refs.

[syedamirali14]

this happens when you install homebrew and node both in a same machine

[longseespace]

In my case, I converted my app from Objective C to Swift and thus the DEBUG flag detection was wrong. Adding correct Swift Flags fixes mine

This video was actually helpful, got to resolve this issue because of this video.
Amazing work

[joshuamsmith413]

Just wanted to add my two cents. I tried many of the solutions suggested here and none of them worked. Then I noticed Zshell had an update. I updated Zshell rebuilt the project on xcode and it worked just fine so something to consider.

[VytautasLozickas]

Beware that when setting a debug/release mapping in Podfile:

project 'Project',
  'Prod - Debug' => :debug,
  'Acc - Debug' => :debug,
  'Test - Debug' => :debug,
  'Prod - Release' => :release,
  'Acc - Release' => :release,
  'Test - Release' => :release

The left side of this map is a Configuration name, not a Scheme name.

[heyalexchoi]

I had recently created a new build configuration. The old one was working fine. The new one was not able to find the bundle url and crashed on start. In my case, for whatever reason, target membership was unchecked for main.jsbundle for my app target. I checked it and now I can run the new build configuration.

[amirhosseinmajdi]

run:
react-native bundle --entry-file index.js --platform ios --dev false --bundle-output ios/main.jsbundle --assets-dest ios

Then:

Open Awesomeproject.xcodeproj in Xcode

Then drag and drop the main.jsbundle file from iOS folder of react native project to the Xcode->AwesomeProject->Awesomeproject->top of AppDeligate.h file(top of list)

Then:
Close all terminals.
Then restart terminal and react-native run-ios

Then:
cmd+D on simulator and touch->Configure Bundler and add ip of bundle server(ip of your mac) and port 8081 and reload app.

You can watch my tutorial video about how to fix no bundle url present in IOS Simulator, in the link below:

For some reason, debug build for real iPhone device is not correctly detect IP address of my Mac, so I need go to source code and manually change to my local ip.

It's worked only for dev build and you must don't do it for normal dev process, because of some kind of black magic, but maybe it can be helpful for you

Yes, I faced the same problem. At the same time, everything worked fine before. The problem has appeared recently.

React Native 0.71.6
Xcode 14.3
iOS 16.4

RCTBundleURLProvider.mm

- (NSString *)guessPackagerHost
{
  static NSString *ipGuess;
  static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
  dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
    NSString *ipPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"ip" ofType:@"txt"];
    ipGuess =
        [[NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:ipPath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding
                                      error:nil] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet newlineCharacterSet]];
  });

  // NSString *host = ipGuess ?: @"localhost";
  NSString *host = ipGuess ?: @"172.17.1.2"; // if I manually specify the address, the app can access to main.jsbundle
  if ([RCTBundleURLProvider isPackagerRunning:host]) {
    return host;
  }
  return nil;
}

Resolved the issue. Seemed like my project was missing a shell script to automatically build the bundle and assets under "Build Phases > Bundle React Native code and images". Also Xcode was crashing when I opened this section.
...
Hopefully this prevents others to spend 2 days on this ;)

Apparently when I uninstalled sentry this remained flying around.
I had to replace the script with the line mentioned above

shellScript = "export NODE_BINARY=node\n../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh\n";

or this one:

shellScript = "set -e\n\nexport NODE_BINARY=node\n../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh\n";

Thanks for the catch @rnnyrk

Hey guys , Thanks for your replies. It helped a lot Although now i am stuck at the same issue in android *Caused by: org.gradle.api.resources.MissingResourceException: Could not read script '/Users/punit.kapoor/OccupantAppClip/node_modules/expo-updates/scripts/create-manifest-android.gradle' as it does not exist.* It would be great if you can help me with that too.

Thanks @alvaromb, also had the same issue after removing sentry

[Umair-max]

just run the following command one by one and the metro will start working as ussual. not that this is not a poblem of a specific project app so you no need to do changes in any file . when I faced this issue it would show while running every app . here are commads.

brew reinstall watchman

watchman watch-del-all

watchman shutdown-server

Facing same issue after upgrading to 0.73. Clean project same dont start on ios.

Only workaround is using

react-native start

All that helped me was the following 2 step:

1. Build Phases > Run Script

# Type a script or drag a script file from your workspace to insert its path. export RCT_METRO_PORT="${RCT_METRO_PORT:=8081}" echo "export RCT_METRO_PORT=${RCT_METRO_PORT}" > "${SRCROOT}/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/.packager.env" if [ -z "${RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER+xxx}" ] ; then if nc -w 5 -z localhost ${RCT_METRO_PORT} ; then if ! curl -s "http://localhost:${RCT_METRO_PORT}/status" | grep -q "packager-status:running" ; then echo "warning: Port ${RCT_METRO_PORT} already in use, packager is either not running or not running correctly" exit 2 fi else open "$SRCROOT/../node_modules/.bin/launchPackager.command" || echo "warning: Can't start packager automatically" fi fi
2. I copied the launchPackager.command file from older projects and put it along the path from the script

but this is not the best solution since after deleting the node_modules directory I have to repeat these steps....

"react": "18.2.0",
"react-native": "0.73.6",

Not sure if this will help anyone, but I was running into this error when trying to run the metro server on a different port. It seems I had to run react-native start --port=9090 to start the metro server on port 9090 (my chosen port). And then I had to clean my Xcode project by running "Clean build folder" command. Then I could execute env RCT_METRO_PORT=9090 react-native run-ios and it seems work.

Note that in my case I'm actually running env RCT_METRO_PORT=9090 react-native run-macos, but I think this could work other Xcode projects.

Resolved the issue. Seemed like my project was missing a shell script to automatically build the bundle and assets under "Build Phases > Bundle React Native code and images". Also Xcode was crashing when I opened this section.

I opened the file /ios/Project.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, searched for this part:

/* Begin PBXShellScriptBuildPhase section */
		00DD1BFF1BD5951E006B06BC /* Bundle React Native code and images */ = {
			isa = PBXShellScriptBuildPhase;
			buildActionMask = 2147483647;
			files = (
			);
			inputPaths = (
			);
			name = "Bundle React Native code and images";
			outputPaths = (
			);
			runOnlyForDeploymentPostprocessing = 0;
			shellPath = /bin/sh;
		};

and added the shell script, so I ended up with:

/* Begin PBXShellScriptBuildPhase section */
		00DD1BFF1BD5951E006B06BC /* Bundle React Native code and images */ = {
			isa = PBXShellScriptBuildPhase;
			buildActionMask = 2147483647;
			files = (
			);
			inputPaths = (
			);
			name = "Bundle React Native code and images";
			outputPaths = (
			);
			runOnlyForDeploymentPostprocessing = 0;
			shellPath = /bin/sh;
			shellScript = "export NODE_BINARY=node\n../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh\n";
		};

Hopefully this prevents others to spend 2 days on this ;)

In my case runOnlyForDeploymentPostprocessing was set to 1. After set it to 0, now it works fine.
