## Description of the issue
I worked on a react-native app which is compiling and working fine on virtual devices (both IOS/Android).
When I try to build the app on Bitrise, only IOS build keeps failing with this xproj error:
error: File /Users/vagrant/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Foosby-fjvqxkfrwpgavkaetbvblmlookgx/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Foosby/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/Foosby.app/main.jsbundle does not exist.
## Environment:
on bitrise: Hybrid (Xamarin, Ionic, …) on macOS, includes Visual Studio for Mac, Stable channel
the app: RN 52, react 16, redux 3.6, …
I’m using pods for Firebase , codepush, splash-screen, …
The error occurs during the Xcode Archive & Export for iOS (latest version)
My workflow is: activate ssh key, git clone, yarn install, pod install, certificate installation, xcode archive/export, deploy
## Reproducibility
Every IOS build
### Local reproduction
Can’t reproduce the error on macosx HightSierra (I’m using react-native run-ios command, I think it’s not the same than bitrise is using).

Hey @wulfy !
Did you set the configuration to Release in the xcode-archive step? Only Release config will run the internal build - post script to bundle the js files in the archive.

Hi @tamaspapik,
The configuration was not set, I tried a new build by setting “configuration name” to “release” but I still having the same error.
Regarding build logs the configuration seems to be ok :
▸ Building Pods/yoga [Release]
▸ Check Dependencies
▸ Compiling YGEnums.cpp
▸ Compiling YGNodePrint.cpp
▸ Compiling yoga-dummy.m
▸ Compiling Yoga.cpp
▸ Compiling YGEnums.cpp
▸ Compiling YGNodePrint.cpp
▸ Compiling yoga-dummy.m
▸ Compiling Yoga.cpp
▸ Building library libyoga.a
▸ Building library libyoga.a
▸ Building Pods/React [Release]
▸ Check Dependencies

Please send here your build’s url. So we can have a closer look. 🙂

Here is the build [Bitrise - Mobile Continuous Integration and Delivery - iOS & Android Build Automation](https://www.bitrise.io/build/03251f9487302e83)
I finally manage to build by using a script step to remove a file causing error during debug/staging build (maybe it has side effects during release build)

Seems to be a pb on a RN lib not bitrise 🙂
Thank you !
