I have the exact same error, just updated to Xcode 16.0. I have a project on RN 0.76.1, and this error occurs when I add my custom Turbo Module to the project. When I remove it, all is fine. Before updating Xcode I had no issues with my custom package.

hey @dentemm, @stevenchen-info could you please run npx react-native config to ensure everything is linked correctly?

@szymonrybczak Thanks for the suggestion, for me the issue was my custom Turbo Module was missing some information in package.json (which apparently wasn't required before?). After adding homepage, license and author I could install the pods again
