Troubleshooting React Native on iOS Simulator with Apple M1 Chip

If you're working on a React Native project and suddenly find yourself unable to run your app on the iOS Simulator using an Apple M1 chip, you're not alone. This issue has perplexed many developers who, like you, were previously enjoying a smooth development experience.

In this guide, we'll explore a common problem surrounding this issue and provide a detailed solution to get your simulator back up and running.

The Problem

Recently, a developer encountered an error while attempting to launch their React Native app on the iOS Simulator. Despite following various troubleshooting steps—including removing and reinstalling Pods, clearing the cache, and cleaning the Xcode build—nothing seemed to solve the underlying issue. The error logs pointed towards a failed build specifically related to the Flipper dependency, which is commonly used for debugging React Native applications.

Error Highlights

The error output included lines like:

This indicated that the Flipper component was causing conflicts with the new architecture of the M1 chip.

The Solution

After pinpointing the source of the issue, the solution became clear: Disable Flipper entirely. Here's how to do it:

1. Modify Your Podfile

Open your Podfile located in the ios folder of your React Native project. Comment out the line that enables Flipper by changing:

4. Enjoy Development Again

After executing these commands, your React Native application should successfully build and run on the iOS Simulator without any further issues related to Flipper.

Conclusion

While encountering issues while working on React Native projects can be frustrating, solutions often lie in adjusting specific configurations. Disabling Flipper resolved build failures for many developers using the Apple M1 chip. This fix will allow you to return to a productive development environment.

If you previously enjoyed a seamless experience and now find yourself struggling like many others, remember that adjusting your Podfile could be the key to solving your problems.

Happy coding, and may your app run smoothly on the iOS Simulator once more!
