CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "hermes-engine"

Question

After updating the React Native version, I'm unable to reinstall pod dependencies.

Error output:

I tried upgrade ruby verssion and pod update hermes-engine --no-repo-update but noting changes

Answer 1

Referencing this answer on GitHub for others.

Try deleting your ios/Podfile.lock and re-rerunning the pod install command?

Answer 2

I upgraded my ruby version using rvm to ruby-3.2.2, so maybe try using the version of ruby you created your podfile on. Then run:

pod update hermes-engine --no-repo-update

Answer 3

I was experiencing the same issue when eas build, just deleted the directory of ios and executed eas build again. It resolved this problem.

Answer 4

I was facing same issue, just deleted podfile.lock and run pod install again. It resolved my problem.

Answer 5

I executed this command in ios folder.. worked for me..

pod update hermes-engine --no-repo-update

Answer 6

If you're using Expo and eas build, you can run this code to build without a cache:

eas build --clear-cache

Alternatively, you can update your eas.json file with a cache key so that it builds cleanly:

{
  "build": {
    "production": {
      "cache": {
        "key": "whatever" // <- set this
      }
    }
}
