I cloned a react native project. Then I ran npm install and then react-native run-ios. The project fails with the below error.

Please not the project runs fine in xcode.

Any thoughts?

The following commands produced analyzer issues:

Analyze RCTLocationObserver.m

(1 command with analyzer issues)

So, I had the same problem Jordan. react-native run-ios creates the Products & Intermediates folder in the ./ios/build folder, but the issue is the valid path is pointing to ./ios/build/Build. What I've been doing is I manually create the Build/ folder inside ./ios/build by issuing the command below:

cd ./ios/build
mkdir Build
cd Build

then, I symlink the folders:

ln -s ../Products .
ln -s ../Intermediates .

You should be able to get react-native run-ios to work again.
