react native iOS pod install stuck on Installing glog (0.3.5)

Question

I'm on m1 chip and when I ran pod install in my project's ios/ folder, the operation gets stuck at -> Installing glog (0.3.5), I waited for like 1 hr and 40 mins, but still it Was stuck at the same step. My internet is working fine. After a while growing through similar question answers on SO/Github, I added --verbose argument to get the logs of what is happening behind the scenes, and below is the output (not going forward after patching file config.sub step):

     You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
     changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
     state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

     If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
     do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

       git switch -c <new-branch-name>

     Or undo this operation with:

       git switch -

     Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

Can someone shed some light on this matter?

If anyone require any more information about the project/env, please ask, I'll try to provide it!

Thank you in advance!

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

restart terminal and do

cd ios && pod install
