React native build failed - xcodebuild: error: The workspace named "foo" does not contain a scheme named "foo"

Question

I have a react native app that when Run from XCode it works as expected (builds and runs on a simulator). But when I try run it from my terminal with

npx react-native run-ios

I get the error:

error Failed to build iOS project. We ran "xcodebuild" command but it exited with error code 65. To debug build logs further, consider building your app with Xcode.app, by opening foo.xcworkspace.
Command line invocation:
    /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -workspace foo.xcworkspace -configuration Debug -scheme foo -destination id=FEB37

User defaults from command line:
    IDEPackageSupportUseBuiltinSCM = YES

xcodebuild: error: The workspace named "foo" does not contain a scheme named "foo". The "-list" option can be used to find the names of the schemes in the workspace.

It might have something to do with my schemes here

When I manage my schemes in XCode I do NOT see scheme 'foo'. It is a generic app so it uses scheme 'bar' which is in the XCode manage gui.

I've also tried

npx react-native run-ios --configuration Debug --scheme Development

and get a very large logout with it ending in:

** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:
        MergeSwiftModule normal x86_64
        CompileSwiftSources normal x86_64 com.apple.xcode.tools.swift.compiler

If I downgrade XCode from 12.5 to 12.0.1 it works as expected. But I would like to use the latest XCode.

If I run react-native info

I have also tried to clean and rerun the start script.

Any help in getting this to build in terminal would be great.

I suspect something else..

please check beyond the schema such as `accessibility/permission`. Since there are more than one reasons this can happen, I recommend verifying all below.

 // a very helpful debug 
 xcodebuild -list

Basic Debug xcodebuild -list; once they are configured correctly, shared they will successfully should up as shared for you.

Default configuration of Schemes is private you have to configure/make it shared In the terminal/command-line build, the Xcode UI never runs and the xcoderun tool doesn't have its own cache of Schemes to work with.

Step 1: Make your schema accessible to the `command-line build`

Make your schema accessible to the command-line build by changing it to a shared scheme.

Menu > Product > Scheme > Manage Schemes
Verify/Check off the 'Shared' box for that scheme

Select Schema you want to create and click on the Edit button
Uncheck and Checkoff just to be sure the "Shared" checkbox.

Now go to WorkspaceName.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/xcschemes
Now verify a new .xcscheme file has been created in your project at
WorkspaceName.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/xcschemes.
Please remember to commit this file to your repository, so that your CI builds will also work
Verify again, since the folder names are case sensitive

From your build or release configuration path

Step 2: Do you have `cocoapods` - yes/no

NO, If your project is NOT using cocoapods , then you should delete the .xcworkspace file from ./ios directory.

yes, or if you are using a workspace (e.g. with pods), debug/verify like so, here..

// a very helpful debug 
xcodebuild -workspace MyProject.xcworkspace -list

Another question on SO, with different approach

Step 3:

If you previously created the folder from step 1, or for some reason renamed/edited project, then go in an update the names manually

Open Foo as a directory in finder.
Open the folder xcshareddata/xcschemes
Rename the xcscheme files there

Can you make sure you're using the right version of Xcode, by running xed --version. There might be a mismatch with the Xcode version that React Native is using (not that this should cause a problem by itself)? You can change it with xcode-select.
Can you try upgrade lottie-react-native to 4.0.2, using npm i lottie-react-native@4.0.2, you're using 3.5.0.
Can you try upgrade lottie-ios to 3.2.3, using npm i lottie-ios@3.2.3
Then make sure you run cd ios and pod install
If you get linker warnings, follow this

If you get desperate, you can delete the ios folder and regenerate it by running by creating a new project with the same name, and copying the iOS folder into your existing project. Or you can just compare the 2 projects/ schemes, and see what you're missing.

Good luck

I ended up upgrading lottie-react-native to 4.0.2 and downgrading lotties-ios to 3.1.8 – grabury Jun 28 '21 at 22:18
Cool , I'm glad I spotted the old version then . I wonder why you had to downgrade `lottie-ios` though. – Ben Butterworth Jun 29 '21 at 07:58

Looking at this output from xcodebuild -list

Information about project "foo":
    Targets:
        foo

    Build Configurations:
        Debug
        Release
        Emp
        Chad
        Test
        PreProduction
        Master

    If no build configuration is specified and -scheme is not passed then "Release" is used.

    Schemes:
        Chad
        Development
        Emp
        Master
        PreProduction
        Release
        Test

And this error from npx react-native run-ios -

xcodebuild: error: 
The workspace named "foo" does not contain a scheme named "foo". 
The "-list" option can be used to find the names of the schemes in the workspace.

The error says that - the target foo (listed under Targets: in the output) should have a corresponding scheme called foo (that should have been listed under Schemes: in the output) which it can't find while using npx react-native run-ios.

As you say, you are able to run this from Xcode successfully, you should note which scheme are you running. You can find it on the top left corner - right next to play / stop buttons. Adventure iOS in the below screenshot is the scheme.

Note down it's name (case sensitive), make sure it's listed under Schemes: in the above output, if it's not - make sure it's shared (Edit Scheme > Check the Shared Checkbox).

After that you can run using command line using that scheme name like following - say you are successfully running "Chad" scheme from Xcode, run that using command line like this.

npx react-native run-ios --scheme "Chad"

React native build failed - xcodebuild: error: The workspace named "foo" does not contain a scheme named "foo"
