[libil2cpp] ERROR: Could not open .../UnityFramework.framework/Data/Managed/Metadata/global-metadata.dat

Running on iPhone 13 emulator.
Using unity 2021.2.5f1.

My test app runs fine as standalone Unity app. When I follow instructions, and fix the RN code up a bit, then when I hit the start button, I see the following in xcode output window

When I poke around, I see that the path in the error message exists up to .../UnityFramework.framework, but there is no Data directory beneath it.

[cdiddy77]

Found a solution here : In xcode, Project Navigator | Unity-iPhone | select Data folder | in Target Membership, check UnityFramework

Now I have a different error:

Setting UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NO is no longer supported.
Apple actively discourages that, and all application-wide methods of changing status bar appearance are deprecated

As far as I know, looking at the react-native unity and react-native unity view which this was modified from it doesn't support simulators and only physical devices.

Did you manage to resolve this?

Hi, what exactly do you mean?

[cdiddy77]

I don't use the simulator. My app needs a camera and so the simulator is pointless anyway.
