Hi @BogdanRad, I understand that the reproducer is private, but can you try to replicate the minimal setup starting from this template? Otherwise it would be quite hard for us to help you.

In 0.75 we introduced some changes in the CLI, so this specific use case might got broken. cc. @blakef, @szymonrybczak and @thymikee that worked on the CLI recently.

I can replicate this, it's a CLI bug from a feature added 4 months ago (react-native-community/cli#2415). It make some assumptions about what's in the xcworkspace contents.xcworkspacedata XML file. If I start adding other files via the Xcode project navigator:

It blows up:

We could make this a little more robust in the CLI:

@cipolleschi I think @BogdanRad is unblocked as he can build with Xcode, but I'll add some tests and try get a fix out on the CLI.

Thank you @blakef

I'm going to close this as it isn't a React Native bug. Please track the progress on react-native-community/cli#2522.
