Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code - RN

 When I was setting the RN for iOS on my mac, entered into the following issue "Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code", tried all the google links and supports. 🤔

Tried various solutions given to cleanup pods, npm, xcode cleanup, etc.. nothing works. 😕

Just noticed the folder name on the top structure of my source file has the space. "Dev Center", i have changed to "DevCenter", now I have cleanup pod reinstalled and tried. All went well and started the React Native app finally.👍

JAMF - Apple Device Management

 

JAMF is like Device Management tool used for Apple Family products.

Admin could control your apps what to use, what to block, monitor whole machine remotely using the software.

Even you are admin user for that Mac, JAMF still controlled with constraints to use default applications.

TestFlight Usage

 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/testflight/

Test Flight used for BETA testing of your app before App Store submission.

It will be uploaded from Xcode using the Distribution Profile. It will go Apple review, turn around time will take min 2days for First Version upload, subsequent build no. increase will be auto approved sooner. Any further increase in version will take 2 days for sure.

 (E.g) 1. 0 (1) - 2days

1.0 (3), (4), .. will be quicker

1.1 / 2.0 … will take time for review.

Any uploaded Builds will go auto expire for Build Shared in the Test Flight 90days (as on). But caveat is, those who downloaded and using the build will not break, it will still work without issue. Any new builds posted will give Notifications to the user, but not force to upgrade from TestFlight.

If we are plan to force upgrade, we need to right the logic in the Service on launch and alert the user for upgrade, no other choice with Expiry build with test flight.

Above are experience with my project.

Backup Your Google stuff

Backup Your Google stuff:

When google come up with storage restriction to 15GB for all our google products to single source of storage, and brought the extra storage for sale, i was stuck and thinking.. 🤔

How to get back all my docs, photos and other stuff, if they block after some time. After searching multiple sites, i got the below links helps us to download what you want or whole.

It has option of select and trigger, google will notify us after done, that is nice thing 👍. We can zip in different size on the request, and will get link to download but will expire after some days. 😊

So, backup it up if more personal..  or buy extra storage 🤑..
