React Native iOS build attempt hangs, project file crashes XCode

These past few hours an issue has been occurring within React Native 0.68.2 on an iOS build attempt that prevents me from building my project at all, forcing me to reclone every time from the git repository to recover.

After a few edits and builds, running npm run ios results in it getting stuck at Planning Build... When I try to manually open the XCode project file, it instantly goes into an unresponsive state.

What the Terminal outputs in its entirety when the command is ran:

(base) myMachine project-master % npm run ios                                            

> [email protected] ios
> expo run:ios
✔ Installed pods and initialized Xcode workspace.
› Planning build (hangs here)

I’ve tried steps listed in a previous question regarding the issue, however none of them have worked, and I constantly need to fetch the project again. Is there any way to fix this once and for all? Has been driving me crazy.
