react native iOS PhaseScriptExecution [CP-User] Generate Specs BUILD ERROR

I’ve been struggling with this error, it happened a week ago when I switched to new machine. Below is my machine config -> node, npm, yarn etc:

node --version -> v16.18.1
which node -> /opt/homebrew/opt/node@16/bin/node
which npm -> /opt/homebrew/opt/node@16/bin/npm
which yarn -> /opt/homebrew/bin/yarn

I also have nvm installed. Could this be happening due to yarn not pointing to where the node is installed? as the directory differs.

Then I tried to uninstall yarn using npm uninstall -g yarn & re-install it again using npm install -g yarn and go into my project, deleted node-modules, re-installed pods and everything but still this error persist.

I went through these solutions and none of them really worked out for me -> PhaseScriptExecution [CP-User] error in React Native

Below is the build error that I’m getting:

/bin/sh -c /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/project-bqzfnxmekpsgkmfaztyrfllaudqg/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/FBReactNativeSpec.build/Script-46EB2E00047A70.sh

[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"

As I said it looks like when I do yarn install inside my project folder, as yarn is not pointing to the node installation directory, it may be considering the wrong version and downloading with wrong version and so this error arises…

Can someone help me with this issue?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT 2:

Still stuck, I tried the following steps but no luck:

1. completely removed brew installed node and then installed nvm, now when I do, which node, which npm, which yarn, I get the following output paths:

/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/bin/node
/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/bin/yarn
/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/bin/npm

2. then I removed my project’s Xcode derived data, project’s node modules, pods and re-installed everything hoping the new nvm node would download packages with the correct node version, but nope the SAME EXACT error saying:

/bin/sh -c /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/myapp-bqzfnxmekpsgkmfaztyrfllaudqg/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/FBReactNativeSpec.build/Script-46EB2E00047A70.sh

Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

I don’t understand this Node found at: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/node/19.0.1/bin/node, I already removed every brew installed node and then also tried to navigate to the same path but none could be found, but here in error it says otherwise…

Can someone help here? Really stuck! No matter what I do, I cannot seem to get rid of this error.
