After setting up post version hook, running the command yarn version --minor produces this error.

Looks similar to: #38 (comment) and: #38 (comment)

@aruldd Is it possible you have manually set up some paths in your Xcode project file?

[VinceBT]

Found the issue, the problem comes from React Native made in Windows that will have backslashed paths inside pbxproj. It's not a problem from your package at all @stovmascript .
Check strings that are like this:

"\"$(SRCROOT)/$(TARGET_NAME)\"",
or
"$(SRCROOT)\..\node_modules\react-xxxx",

and change them to

"$(SRCROOT)/$(TARGET_NAME)",
accordingly
"$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-xxxx",

@VinceBT Awesome, I'll capture this message and print out something more meaningful.

[stovmascript]

@VinceBT I also suspect that it's more of an issue with react-native link because a newly initialized project doesn't have any $(SRCROOT) strings yet. Which would explain why everything worked for me in: #38 (comment).

[VinceBT]

It's just because Windows uses \ instead of / for paths and when paths are written to pbxproj when using react-native link, they will contain backslashes, it still works when your compile on a Mac, but it will crash with the pbxproj-dom parser package that you use. You could maybe add a "Common issues" page on your README for future users.

@aruldd Tell us if it worked for you so @stovmascript can close

I'm getting this issue when running on Mac OSX, is that expected? I'm on 3.2.0

[Maushundb]

Yeah there seems to be some paths in pbxproj that cocoapods installs that has the windows syntax as well. Had to go in and edit them manually, now it works. This does happen on macs as well apparently, might wanna update docs.
