Hi @alekseylovchikov!

Can you please check if your Info.plist is located at this path: build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/pizza.app/Info.plist and have no syntax errors?

@Kureev I just checked and my Info.plist doesn't have any errors at this path.. the Info.plist isn't in /.app though - It's just in /Debug-iphonesimulator/

[Kureev]

I'm not the expert here, but I think it should be in the .app. Any ideas how it may happen?

Probably @grabbou can give you more insightful feedback on it

@alekseylovchikov same issue, check your xcode version, if it's 7.2.1, you should update to xcode8.
For me it works.

[alekseylovchikov]

@mrbone xcode version 8.2.1

I have the same problem when I try to run my app using react-native (react-native run-ios --configuration Stage). I use a custom configuration for my Xcode project: Stage (except basic Debug and Release) and after the error I have a directory /ios/build/Build/Products/Stage-iphonesimulator with one subdirectory MyApp.app, but this directory is empty.

The Debug and Release configurations work correctly.
And also I can correctly build my Stage configuration using Xcode.

in my case I got this error from having the xcworkspace file saved in the folder ios and it stopped from using command react-native run-ios. I have this xcworkspace because it is required to have that from using fastlane to run another CI.

react-native run-ios
