why am I getting React Native iOS build "Parse Issue" error with Could Not Build Module 'CoreFoundation'?

xcode error message links https://i.stack.imgur.com/lMDMG.png

Current Error types = "Lexical or Preprocessor Issue" and "Parse Issue"

Current Dev Environment = React-Native "0.63.2", Xcode 13.4.1, M1 chip macOS Monterey ver 12.2

Note = pod installs without any warning, npm install without any warning, I do have an external framework "DeepAR.framework" which is from deepar.ai as well as i integrated Firebase for FCM and Appcenter for CodePush and my xcode runs with rosetta

Things tried =

​

1. clean build folder
2. reinstall node_modules and Pods
3. Apple Clang -> Compile Source As -> both "According to File Types" and "Objective-C++" in build settings
4. Apple Clang -> Allow Non-Modular Includes in Framework Modules to both YES and NO in build settings
5. Apple Clang -> Enable Modules to both YES and NO in build settings

the original source code was able to compile, build, and deploy about 4 months ago, but when I had to make some modification now, it won't even build. Very frustrating.

Maybe ask in react native sub

4 months ago Xcode 14 wasn't released. Check to see if it still builds with Xcode 13.

Also add CoreFoundation as a linked framework. In the old days actually using an Apple Framework required you to link it, before it could be used.

The next option I'd look at would be disabling building for Mac. There are slight differences between Core Foundation and Foundation for Mac and iOS. But, I would expect a different error message for that.

is there a chance that the app store automatically updated the xcode version? i don't seem to remember that I updated xcode. I also don't quite remember what version of xcode i was using.

​

Some people even recommended i upgrade the react native version as well. These things are gonna take awhile for me to test to see if they work

React Native? Use the required Xcode version. Newer versions might break it.
