React/RCTEventEmitter.h not found with codepush and cocoapods

I am have quite the issue in diagnosing the cause of why my iOS react native build is failing. After diagnosing a few other errors, the issue im facing right now is that no matter what i try, the error React/RCTEventEmitter.h not found plagues me and my app. This is just a basic react-native app created by react-native init.

I tried just about every combination of the following below:

• changing the "Header Search paths"
• Deleting the xcode/DeriveData folder created
• "Deintegrating" pods
• pod install
• draging/dropping react-native-code-push xcodeproject/library directly to my app in xbox in Libraries
• xcode clean
• react-native link
• react-native link code-push
• removing codepush from Podfile
• removing the ios/Pods folder
• removing the ios/Podfile.lock file
• building the app manually with xcodebuild (same error)

/usr/bin/xcodebuild -sdk iphoneos -workspace ios/myApp.xcworkspace -scheme myApp  archive -archivePath myApp.xcarchive -UseModernBuildSystem=NO CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO

My react info is as follows(its a macOS VM):

    System:
      OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.1

    npmGlobalPackages:
      react-native-cli: 2.0.1
      react-native: 0.58.6

My Podfile is:

target 'myApp' do
  # Pods for AppCenter
  pod 'AppCenter/Crashes', '~> 1.13.0'
  pod 'AppCenter/Analytics', '~> 1.13.0'
  pod 'AppCenterReactNativeShared', '~> 1.12.0'
  # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
  # use_frameworks!

  # Pods for myApp


  platform :ios, '9.0'
  pod 'CodePush', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-code-push'

end

The exact error im facing is:

/Users/administrator/Desktop/BUILD/myApp/node_modules/react-native-code-push/ios/CodePush/CodePush.h:6:9: fatal error: 'React/RCTEventEmitter.h' file not found
#import "React/RCTEventEmitter.h"   // Required when used as a Pod in a Swift project

Although im pretty new to iOS development, it seems like the things i did above should fix the issue but it did not. The error seems pretty obvious but i dont know what else to do.

I know there is many articles on this issue but most the articles/issues i seen where resolvable but for some reason, the specific case im facing seems extraordinarily. I was wondering if anyone has any other tips or faced a issue like this? Any help is massively appreciated!
