Hi @bhandanyan-nomad
Are you aware of a workaround for this on react-native v0.73.10? Can it be enabled explicitly?
When I try run an app using any XCode config not named exactly "Debug" it fails with an error:
Thanks

the issue is fixed in the supported versions of react native (0.76 --> 0.78). Version 0.73 is out of support and we highly recommend to upgrade.
That said, you should be able to patch react native applying changes similar to the one in this commit. The codebase might have changed, so it is unlikely that you can apply the commit as it is.
