❌ Undefined symbols for architecture arm64

┌─ Symbol: _OBJC_CLASS_$_RCTEventDispatcher

└─ Referenced from: __OBJC_$_CATEGORY_RCTEventDispatcher_$_Reanimated in RCTEventDispatcher+Reanimated.o

❌ ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

❌ clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I am encountering a build error when running eas build --platform ios for my React Native project using Expo on VSCode. The build stops at line 3068 with the following error:

The error seems to involve the RCTEventDispatcher symbol from the react-native-reanimated library. Here are some details about my setup:

• React Native version: 0.74.1

• Stripe version: 0.37.2

• react-native-reanimated version: 3.10.1

• Build tool: EAS

• Development environment: VSCode with Expo

I have tried the following steps to resolve the issue:

1. Deleted node_modules and yarn.lock, then reinstalled dependencies with yarn install.

2. Ran pod install --repo-update in the ios directory.

3. Verified build settings in the eas.json file to ensure correct architecture settings.

Has anyone faced a similar issue or have any suggestions on how to resolve this linker error when using Expo and VSCode? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
