PhaseScriptExecution fails for Hermes Engine after install of react-native-reanimated

[mstohr1975]

Description

I've reproduced an issue, whenever I install with npm install react-native-reanimated, then reinstall the pods with cd ios && pod install && cd .. and build the app with npx react-native run-ios I run into an error on Hermes Engine:

PhaseScriptExecution [CP-User]\ [Hermes]\ Replace\ Hermes\ for\ the\ right\ configuration,\ if\ needed /Users//Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/

/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphoneos/hermes-engine.build/Script-46EB2E0001CA80.sh (in target 'hermes-engine' from project 'Pods')
(1 failure)

Same project before installing reanimated builds perfectly fine, I reproduced it a couple times. Any thoughts how to overcome this? Many thx

Steps to reproduce

1. npm install react-native-reanimated
2. cd ios && pod install && cd ..
3. npx react-native run-ios

Hi there,

I've reproduced a simple example under https://github.com/mstohr1975/ReanimateTest. In effect, it is set up with the latest Salesforce Mobile SDK React Native vanilla TypeScript project from https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/mobile-sdk/guide/react-native-intro.html which is located here: https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Templates/tree/dev/ReactNativeTypeScriptTemplate.

1. So, I've created the project with forcereact create --platform=ios --appname=ReanimateTest --packagename=com.test.reanimate --organization="Reanimate Inc." --outputdir=
2. Then I've started the project to validate it builds properly with npx react-native run-ios
3. Afterwards I've installed the reanimate package: npm install react-native-reanimated
4. Added the plugin in vi ./node_modules/react-native/template/babel.config.js at the end with plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin']
5. Reinstalled the pods with cd ios && pod install && cd ..
6. And then after the rebuild with npx react-native run-ios I get the mentioned error.

The following build commands failed:
PhaseScriptExecution [CP-User]\ [Hermes]\ Replace\ Hermes\ for\ the\ right\ configuration,\ if\ needed /Users//Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ReanimateTest-cbxampfvgdijsheyaooblqxhwpyc/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/hermes-engine.build/Script-46EB2E0001C820.sh (in target 'hermes-engine' from project 'Pods')
(1 failure)

[mstohr1975]

Forgot one point, I've commented a post install in Podfile which generated another build error:

#React native post install
react_native_post_install(
installer,
$config[:reactNativePath],
:mac_catalyst_enabled => false
)

It will generate following error when installing Pods with pod install:

Downloading dependencies
Generating Pods project
Setting USE_HERMES build settings
Setting REACT_NATIVE build settings
[!] An error occurred while processing the post-install hook of the Podfile.

This usually fixes it for me:

1. rm ios/.xcode.env.local
2. pod install

If that still doesn't work, clear the derived data and rebuild

[mstohr1975]

Thx, will check next days and get back to you

[mstohr1975]

I tried it in different ways, but did not succeed.

First of all, I do not overcome the error when installing the pods given, I always have to comment following part in Podfile to prevent the error explained above. This only happens after I install the react-native-reanimated package

#React native post install
react_native_post_install(
installer,
$config[:reactNativePath],
:mac_catalyst_enabled => false
)

But more importantly, I've cleaned cache for all pods and rebuild as follows:

1. cd ios
2. pod cache clean --all
3. pod install
4. rm .xcode.env.local
5. cd ...
6. npx react-native run-ios

And still get the same error message:

The following build commands failed:
PhaseScriptExecution [CP-User]\ [Hermes]\ Replace\ Hermes\ for\ the\ right\ configuration,\ if\ needed /Users/mstohr/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/DautXpense-gfqjutltodrrgmftqbwaxdmozcdl/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphoneos/hermes-engine.build/Script-46EB2E0001CA80.sh (in target 'hermes-engine' from project 'Pods')
(1 failure)

See GitHub repository after removing .xcode.env.local: https://github.com/mstohr1975/ReanimateTest

@mstohr1975
Did you try to delete the derived data folder? If not, I'm not sure what could be causing it
Users/mstohr/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/

[mstohr1975]

Ah, sorry, forgot to mention it...yes, I deleted the DerivedData folder. Same error...by the way, pod install will recreate the .xcode.env.local file...that's why I deleted it afterwards.

I also tried

rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
cd ios
pod deintegrate
pod update
cd..
npm start or npx react-native run-ios

Still the same error...

What is the config in your ios/.xcode.env.local ?
Make sure that right path to node is specified in NODE_BINARY var. If it's not the right path to your actual node version, then just correct it manually. It worked for me

[mstohr1975]

Many thanks. Let me check this coming week...I'll get back to you.

[mstohr1975]

We validated the NODE_BINARY path directs to the latest node.js version: export NODE_BINARY=/usr/local/bin/node. That seems not the issue either. Thx for your help anyways.

[piaskowyk]

Hey, it appears that this issue is not Reanimated-related; rather, it seems to be a problem with the project configuration that is independent of Reanimated. You should define the environment variable REACT_NATIVE_PATH, and that should help resolve the issue.

[mstohr1975]

Thx for your feedback, we'll test it.

Also facing the same issue. Did you manage to resolve this?

[mstohr1975]

Yes, we did...as mentioned above. Let me know if this helps, otherwise we're happy to support.

[workflowdigital-george]

Yes, we did...as mentioned above. Let me know if this helps, otherwise we're happy to support.

I'm using expo eas to to do the building so I don't believe I can get access to the xcode.env.local file.

[ArkanRomanPango]

what helped me is:
which node it gives me next: /Users/roman/.nvm/versions/node/v18.17.0/bin/node

and then inside of .xcode.env I wrote next:
export NODE_BINARY=/Users/roman/.nvm/versions/node/v18.17.0/bin/node
