Steps To Reproduce

I found this issue when running pod install in my pre-existing project that I have upgraded to RN 0.60. But, I can reproduce the exact same error when running react-native init test and the error occurs when it gets to pod install

Describe what you expected to happen: The script not to crash and pod install to finish running

Snack, code example, or link to a repository: Just do react-native init test and it gives the error

As per https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/18408#issuecomment-386696744 (thanks @YuryKorovko !)

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app
cd ios && pod install

Fixed!

Seems to be an issue with Xcode after a new install. I resolved this issue on my machine by:

launch Xcode
from Xcode menu, select Preferences
select Locations tab
select a value for Command Line Tools. Mine was previously blank.

This assumes you’ve already got command line tools installed.

You may be able to achieve the same result from xcode-select on the command line, but I didn’t try that.
