Description
I'm doing the build process of my IOS app with the App Center. But it runs pod install and in the next step it uses .xcodeproj instead of .xcworkspace folder. It gives an error of directory not found.
I would like to know why the error is happening with the .xcodeproj file and not with the .xcworkspace folder and what is that error, that will help me to prevent that happens again with other projects.
React Native version:
0.61.2

2) Xcode build step uses sgeo.xcodeproj instead sgeo.xcworkspace and uses. That's why it fails and would to know why.

Expected Results
App Center Build step needs to detect the .xcworkspace folder instead of .xcodeproj, and uses it to the pod install step.
