Steps to reproduce

after creating new react native project npx react-native init project-name, it shows this message ✔ Downloading template ✔ Copying template ✔ Processing template ✖ Installing CocoaPods dependencies (this may take a few minutes) ✖ Installing CocoaPods dependencies (this may take a few minutes) error Error: Failed to install CocoaPods dependencies for iOS project, which is required by this template. Please try again manually: “cd ./RNP1/ios && pod install”.

But tried with pod install under ios folder, shows info mentioned in above description.

Kindly need help with this. Thank you 😊

Hey @abhishekambkr, try this I faced this issue on an M1 based mac book macOS big sure 11.6.8,

1. brew install cocopoads
2. ruby 2.6.8p205 (2021-07-07 revision 67951) [x86_64-darwin20]
3. then in project cd ios run 2 commands as, sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi arch -x86_64 pod install
4. then you need to remove libswiftWebKit.tbd from build phases -> Link Library With Libraries

I think we can close this now as I believe the version supplied by brew of cocoapods is M1 compatible
