xcrun: error: unable to find utility "instruments", not a developer 
tool or in PATH



xcrun: error: Failed to locate 'instruments'
 

  • First thing first , if you are using an older version, do note that - "instruments" util was deprecated from Xcode12 onwards (and hence not present in Xcode13).
  • Older React Native CLI might be using that.
  • However in latest React Native code,  it is replaced with a simctl command
  • It is advisable to avoid using xcrun instruments in Xcode12.
  • Instead use xcrun xctrace.
  • Also you would need Xcode to run React Native code.
  Missing all the above pointers, while you try to build project using below command, it fails with above error.


react-native run-ios
  Let's try the below options to fix the error.  

Check:

Before you proceed, quit any of the existing simulator process.

  • Quit the simulator
  • Quit the Xcode
  Once you done with the above checks, proceed with the next steps.  

Option 1 :

  • Copy xcode instruments (if available).
  • And place in the xcode directory.
  • Then build the project.

react-native run-ios
   

Option 2 :

  • Install the xcode command line tools.

xcode-select --install

sudo xcodebuild -license accept
 

  • After installing Xcode, sometimes CLI is not set. So you would need to do extra step.
 

  • Once xcode is installed, open the Xcode menu.  Go to Preferences --> Locations tab.
 

  • You need to set the Xcode version from dropdown against the Command Line Tools. Otherwise the command line tools will be blank.
 

  • Once you are done with the above steps, run the below -

react-native run-ios
  Hope this helps to solve the issue.
