babel-plugin-module-resolver doesn't work with react-native 0.63.0+ for iOS production builds

[oleksandr-dziuban]

Description

In my react-native project I'm using babel-plugin-module-resolver plugin to achieve relative short path for the modules, files, directories. When I mograted from react-native@0.62 to react-native@0.63 I found that iOS Production build cannot be assembled. Xcode throws Error 65 during build with Fastlane on CI. Manually locally in Xcode it throws the same error for Production builds. Development builds work fine.
After debugging I found that relative paths cannot be resolved correctly in react-native@0.63. Reverted to 0.62 version -works fine...

Steps To Reproduce

Provide a detailed list of steps that reproduce the issue.

1. Use babel-plugin-module-resolver@4.0.0 with short imports in project, use react-native@0.63+
2. Assemble release iOS build in xcode

Expected Results

Release iOS build assembled succesfully.

Already raised issues:

For the babel plugin we already have this issue: tleunen/babel-plugin-module-resolver#403
But the reason in react-native codebase changes, because 0.62 version works fine.

Also we have a PR in react-native repo, that reverts some code for index.ios.js file detection, possibly related to this issue:
#29477

Could you please guys pay attention here, because a lot of production projects use this babel plugin. Thanks

File ../shared/queries/search.query.gql can't be resolved, it is defined as relative path with babel plugin:
import searchQuery from "core/shared/queries/search.query.gql"

@riadhriadh Yes, I can confirm, this PR fixes the issue:
#29477

I have assembled release iOS build locally with this change and it works!
We need to ask maintainers to merge this PR... But there is no activity on it now...

I'm currently going through this, I'm trying to run "Product > Archive" to build for appstore but it always fails with A module not being found but it works well on android, I have also tried running debug on iphone simulator and it works well with no error...

[aprilmintacpineda]

For the meantime, I found this #29351 (comment)
