EAS local builds not working with Xcode 14

Question

I believe this is what's happening:

My MacOS system updated and subsequently, Xcode was updated to version 14. Ever since that happened my eas local builds no longer complete successfully. Submitting builds to the eas build system still works, but the queue can take a really long time so it removes any kind of quick feedback when I need to build an .ipa to install on a real device.

This is the error message I am getting.

you should look into the full logs, the ones you shared above are filtered. it seems likely that metro failed to bundle your app based on the above – Ortrude

Answer 1

After working on it for Approximately one whole day, I finally got the local builds working with Xcode 14 and iOS 16. The main issue that I had was the expo versions, react versions, and some other dependency versions I am sharing my package.json files for reference and I will share the exact steps that you need to to to get it fixed and working.

My Old Package File is

  {
"name": "mytallymobile",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
"scripts": {

  "react-usestateref": "^1.0.8"
},
"devDependencies": {
  "@babel/core": "^7.12.9"
},
"private": true

} and after changes, my new package file looks like this

  {
"name": "mytallymobile",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
"scripts": {
  "start": "expo start",
  "android": "expo start --android",

  "eas-cli": "^2.1.0",

  "npm": "^8.13.2",
  "react": "18.0.0",
  "react-dom": "18.0.0",
  "react-native": "0.69.5",
  "react-native-dropdown-picker": "^5.4.2",
  "react-native-google-places-autocomplete": "^2.4.1",
  "react-native-indicators": "^0.17.0",

  "react-native-svg": "12.3.0",
  "react-native-web": "0.18.7",
  "react-redux": "^8.0.2",
  "react-usestateref": "^1.0.8"
},
"devDependencies": {
  "@babel/core": "^7.12.9",
  "prettier": "2.7.1"
},
"private": true

}

The final steps to fix the problem is as follow

1. Upgrade the package.json file with the versions mentioned above.
2. Delete iOS Folder (If present)
3. Delete node_modules folder.
4. Delete package-lock.json file.
5. run npm install
6. run npm start to check if the build is running.

Once you execute all of the above steps you can run eas build --platform ios --local It should successfully compile the build this time. If it still does not you can react out to me in the comments.

Hi Umer, Im am getting same issue trying to run my build. Im trying to update the dependencies to yours but geeting confilcts. Can uou have a look at them for me?? – Hautesalpes

Sure thing you can send out to me your dependencies. We can have a Zoom Call to fix your issue if you want – Herwick

Answer 2

Not sure if this helps anyone at all, but I had a very similar issue. I would highly recommend looking into the Xcode logs to find out what is going wrong. I don't know yet how to do this for a (managed) local build, but in the web build there's a tab for it in the bottom of the build logs.

For me specifically, the issue was that I had a logical OR assignment in my codebase, without having the @babel/plugin-proposal-logical-assignment-operators installed as a dev dependency and listed in the plugins section of my babel config. After adding this plugin, it worked like a charm :)

Answer 3

Similar issue you will get due to credentials if you switched the app or changed expo project etc - get this fixed by generating new credentials by command eas credentials.
