Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist have tried most solutions - react-native

Question

I have pretty much tried all the solutions but none of them seem to work.
An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=2):
Failed to install the requested application
An application bundle was not found at the provided path.
Provide a valid path to the desired application bundle.
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist
Command failed: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print:CFBundleIdentifier build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/albums.app/Info.plis
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist
How do you get the project to run?

Answer 1

My terminal pops out the same message due to deleting some simulators I don't use in Xcode.
If you run react-native run-ios with no specific parameters, react-native will run the default simulator which is iPhone 6 with iOS 10.3.1 in my case and I deleted this simulator by chance.
Here comes my error messages:
xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:

In order to get rid of these, open up your Xcode and check for available simulators (as same as terminal listed) and run react-native run-ios --simulator="your device name"
For my case, I run react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 7", the problem solved.

Answer 2

What worked for me was opening the project in xcode and run the project there. Xcode then had a few problems for me. The first problem was that I had the wrong device selected to be used for testing.
I made sure that iPhone X simulator was selected (for some reason it was defaulting to my ipad which wasn't setup to be a dev device).
Then make sure when you run you have no red warnings. I had one more red warning and that was because I didn't select the project's team profile.
I also changed the bundle identifier to my company name to be unique.
Running it in xcode is the best way to know what the error is. Don't rely on react-native alone to figure out your errors.

it works for me when I deleted ~/.rncash
