Unable to install due to incorrect xcodeproj being picked up

[christophrowley]

My install kept failing with this error on react-native@0.45.0:

/Users/chris.rowley/rn-project/node_modules/react-native-photos-framework/install.js:23
    if (!plist.NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription) {
              ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription' of null

I've done some digging, and the issue seems to be that findProject in react-native-photos-framework/local-cli/core/config/ios/findProject.js takes the first *.pbxproj file it finds... In my case, that was

ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/rn-project/LinkingIOS/RCTLinking.xcodeproj

which has no INFOPLIST_FILE field... Removing the ios/build dir fixes the issue, but it'd be great if findProject could be more specific in the file it picks up?

Will take a look this week!
