native-bridge.jsError: ENOENT: no such file or directory

ericklind · May 21, 2021, 4:10pm

I’ve been trying to instal capacitor 3.0, but I keep running into this error whenever I try to rund npx cap add ios:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat ‘/Users/erick/Documents/Code/spin/node_modules/@capacitor/core/native-bridge.js’

Once it fails here, the ios folder does not contain the necessary files to run, so CocoaPods fails.

I can’t find any info on how to fix this.

You need to update all capacitor packages to 3.0.0, looks like you have not updated @capacitor/cli

ericklind · May 21, 2021, 5:14pm

Just did that and verified it. Getting the same error. Is there anything else that needs to be updated? I’m pretty much stuck in the water at this point.

Did you upgrade @capacitor/ios to v3 as well?

Yes. Here’s the package.json

    ]
  },

I’m also getting a cocao pods install error after that. I’m not sure if they’re related, or if the second error is the critical one.

I uninstalled/reinstalled everything having to do with @capaitor, and was able to move past the bridge errors. Now I’m still have cocoapod install issues

Getting closer. BTW I’m on a M1 Mac Mini
Steps:

Upgraded Big Sur to 11.3.1
Uninstalled Homebrew
Unchecked Run in Rosetta for terminal.app
Installed Homebrew (this installs the M1 version)
Installed Cocopod from home brew
Installed yarn
Ran yarn for the project
Installed @capacitor/code /ios /cli
Installed typescript
Build still failed when I ran ionic capacitor run ios -l --external
Change platform: ios to 14.4.2

I was then able to get the prompts for which simulator and which IP address. Then it fails:

I have not been able to move past this error.

Okay last two steps!

Update the signing to your team in xCode
Set the min build version to ios 12.1

Bam! Bob’s your uncle!

thomasvidas · May 24, 2021, 2:43pm

Yup that sounds about right, the problem always lies with XCode signing

The upgrade guide mentions the new minimum of iOS 12.0, but it is definitely something I’ve missed before migrating my own apps!
