Archiving React Native iOS projects on Xcode 10+

I was getting the following error on the CI when it was trying to archive the project and I couldn't figured out what was going on:

xcodebuild failed with return code: 65

So I decided to archive the iOS project locally and the error was different:

:-1: Multiple commands produce 
1) Target 'React' has a command with output '~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/libReact.a'
2) Target 'React' has a command with output '~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/libReact.a'

:-1: Multiple commands produce 
1) Target 'yoga' has a command with output '~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/libyoga.a'
2) Target 'yoga' has a command with output '~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/libyoga.a'

Then I googled it and found this: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/21583#issuecomment-428043049

Then I added this post_install block at the end of the Podfile:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == "React"
      target.remove_from_project
    end

    if target.name == "yoga"
      target.remove_from_project
    end
  end
end

It worked locally and on the CI.

Finally I gave a 👍 on that comment.
