info Installing required CocoaPods dependencies

Answer 1

I was having the same issue. Solved by changing my internet connection from WIFI to mobile data. Then I ran the following commands which worked for me:

$ pod deintegrate
$ pod install

Hope this will work.

Answer 2

I think the main problem is mismatch version of CocoaPods and react native dependency. So you can try update Cocoapods

sudo gem install cocoapods

and then go inside your react native project in /ios folder then install pod again with

pod install

Answer 3

Fixed with this - Open Xcode and go to Xcode → Preferences → Locations, and make sure the command line tools is set to the version of Xcode you’re using.

Answer 4

You can try to disable iCloud, this helped me.

Answer 5

Break with Ctrl-C.

---

Enter cd ios

---

Run pod install --repo-update

---

But anyway it is not fast. Need wait because big repo cloned into fs under the hood.

Answer 6

It took a while for CocoaPods installation and I got error at the end. podfile was inside iOS folder with no .xcworkspace. I did pod install again (in iOS folder) and all good. Please make sure CocoaPods is installed.

Answer 7

Install CocaPods CocoaPods is a package management tool for iOS and macOS development. We use it to add the actual React Native framework code locally into your current project.

We recommend installing CocoaPods using Homebrew.

$ brew install cocoapods 

or

sudo gem install cocoapods
