XCode + React-native: "Bundle React Native code and images" build phase taking too long
I know this question's posted 4 years ago, but I've been looking around a lot to find a solution and I found out the reason for my particular project.
I had the same issue where my build process would hang at the "Bundle React Native code and images" phase.
Then I removed @react-native-firebase/firestore from my packages and then my total build time dropped from 2007s (33 mins) to 450s (7.5 mins) . I guess the sub-dependencies were HUGE.
