• Review the documentation: https://facebook.github.io/react-native
• Search for existing issues: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues
• Use the latest React Native release: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases

Reproducible?

Yes, I had a colleague follow the instructions in the repo below on their computer and it gave them the same error.

Same error :(, i wasted 2 days for this, try some solutions but none work. @rob-keepsafe : do you resolved this?

[juansimon18]

@Unoken could you try this: It worked for me:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

[Salakar]

👋 hey all; thanks for raising this issue and also for posting a way to fix the issue.

Given @juansimon18 response above I'm inclined to think this is a local dev environment issue rather than being specific to React Native; admittedly the error message could maybe specify how to resolve the issue as above (but I'm not sure this is something that can be done from React Native, unfortunately).

Because of this; I'm going to go ahead and close this for now.

Thank you
