How to fix the `iphoneos cannot be located` error in macOS
A quick guide to how I solved a confusing React Native error
While installing React Native to run a project on iOS, I run into a problem.
I went into the project’s ios folder to run pod install as I was instructed to do.
But as I ran that command, I got a long error message back:
From this error I read the error: SDK "iphoneos" cannot be located.
That looked suspicious, right?
So I researched a bit and what fixed the problem was running the command
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.appThen running pod install again worked fine!
