CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "React-RCTAnimation":

Question

When trying to run pod install in my iOS folder on my React-Native project, I get the following error:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "React-RCTAnimation": In Podfile: React-RCTAnimation (from ../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/NativeAnimation) Specs satisfying the React-RCTAnimation (from ../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/NativeAnimation) dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

I have tried using pod deintegrate running pod install again, but no luck.

Answer 1

The last line of your error message is what I'd focus on: "Specs satisfying the React-RCTAnimation (from ../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/NativeAnimation) dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target." This just means the library you're trying to use, React-RCTAnimation, requires a higher minimum deployment target than what's currently set. Check the iOS Deployment Target set in your Podfile and raise it to a higher version, then try again. This is most easily done through Xcode.
