After upgraded to repack5.0, the debug mode is fine, but once i run the app with release mode, the build is failing:

UnableToResolveError: Unable to resolve module app1/App from /Users/xxx/Repack/RepackHost/App.tsx: app1/App could not be found within the project or in these directories:

I've managed to confirm this and this needs to be fixed in 2 places:

• platform setup (since RN 76 changed some CLI commands used when bundling for releasing)
• RepackTargetPlugin needs some reworking to always include ScriptManager no matter what

hi @ra1nj, the 5.0.0-rc.7 is out which should fix the issue you were having, let me know if this fixes the problem for you so we can close this issue 👍

I have upgraded the repack version to 5.0.0-rc.7 and pod install, but still facing the same issue:

It seems that it still using metro as bundler ?

sorry for an oversight, one thing you have to change in the project is the script for Bundle React Native code and images build phase in Xcode, replace it with the following:

set -e

if [[ -f "$PODS_ROOT/../.xcode.env" ]]; then
  source "$PODS_ROOT/../.xcode.env"
fi

if [[ -f "$PODS_ROOT/../.xcode.env.local" ]]; then
  source "$PODS_ROOT/../.xcode.env.local"
fi

export CLI_PATH="$("$NODE_BINARY" --print "require('path').dirname(require.resolve('@react-native-community/cli/package.json')) + '/build/bin.js'")"

WITH_ENVIRONMENT="$REACT_NATIVE_PATH/scripts/xcode/with-environment.sh"
REACT_NATIVE_XCODE="$REACT_NATIVE_PATH/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh"

/bin/sh -c "$WITH_ENVIRONMENT $REACT_NATIVE_XCODE"

This basically points to RNC CLI explicitly instead of relying on the logic in core - which was broken in RN 76 and doesn't allow for overriding the commands out of the box

After this change, now is working👍
