Understanding the React-native iOS Build Error After Link Command

When working with React Native, you might encounter several challenges, especially when building your app for iOS. One common issue developers face is a build error that arises after running the command npx react-native link. This problem can be particularly frustrating, especially when it disrupts your workflow. If you're seeing messages indicating multiple commands are trying to produce the same font file — for instance, Zocial.ttf — you're not alone.

In this guide, we will explore how to effectively resolve this build error and get your React Native application up and running smoothly again.

The Error

When you run the command npx react-native link, it’s meant to link any native dependencies for your React Native project. However, you may encounter errors during the build process, such as:

This error signals that Xcode is trying to copy the same file from multiple sources, causing a conflict that halts the build process. Let's dive into the solution!

Solution: Skip npx react-native link and Use CocoaPods

Fortunately, there's a straightforward solution to bypass this issue without complicated workarounds. Follow these simple steps to resolve the build error effectively:

Step 1: Skip the Link Command

No Need for npx react-native link: In recent versions of React Native, the automatic linking of packages is handled by Cocoapods, meaning you don't need to run npx react-native link. The dependency installation has improved significantly, making this command unnecessary for many projects.

Step 2: Navigate to the iOS Folder

Open your terminal and navigate to the iOS folder of your React Native project. You can do this with the following command:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the iOS build error that arises after running the npx react-native link command. Remember, the updates to React Native have streamlined the linking process, making it easier for developers to manage native modules without the hassle of manual linking. If you encounter similar errors in the future, try using CocoaPods effectively for cleaner builds every time.

Happy coding, and may your React Native development journey be smooth!
