I am working on a React Native project and encountering the following build error when trying to run my app on iOS using Xcode:

Node found at: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/node/22.6.0/bin/node

Solution That Worked for Me:

The problem was caused by a stale .xcode.env.local file that pointed to a removed Node.js version.

Steps to Fix:

1. Delete the .xcode.env.local file:

rm ~/.xcode.env.local

2 . Reinstall dependencies and clean the project:

cd ios

rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock

pod install

cd ..

3. Clean and rebuild the project:

npx react-native run-ios

Why This Works:

• .xcode.env.local stores environment variables and can contain outdated paths for Node.js after an upgrade.

• Deleting it allows Xcode to use the correct Node.js path.
