ld: 1319 duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64 after upgrading to 0.60 from 0.59.9

I upgraded the react native version to 0.60 from 0.59.9. I wasn’t using any Pods when on 0.59.9. But after 0.60, I added Podfile with following content (as per rn-diff)

platform :ios, '9.0'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
target 'taxiApp' do
rn_maps_path = '../node_modules/react-native-maps'
  pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/'
  pod 'React-Core', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/React'

  target 'taxiAppTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end
  use_native_modules!
end 

//this is for solving some issue with react-native-config and cocoapods
post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      if target.name == 'react-native-config'
        phase = target.project.new(Xcodeproj::Project::Object::PBXShellScriptBuildPhase)
        phase.shell_script = "cd ../../"\
                             " && RNC_ROOT=./node_modules/react-native-config/"\
                             " && export SYMROOT=$RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig"\
                             " && export BUILD_DIR=$RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig"\
                             " && ruby $RNC_ROOT/ios/ReactNativeConfig/BuildDotenvConfig.ruby"
  
        target.build_phases << phase
        target.build_phases.move(phase,0)
      end
    end
  end

I did pod install which installed 4 extra pods (maybe as a part of auto linking):

react-native-config (0.11.7)
react-native-geolocation (1.4.2)
react-native-maps (0.24.2)
RNGestureHandler

After that, I opened Xcode and started building the app and I got this issue with duplicate symbols. A lot of pods/libraries are being installed (duplicate). For example:

I think this is a problem Both jsi and React-jsi are being installed while building the project.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Upgrade to RN-0.60
2. Have packages which needs installing pods
3. pod install
4. Build the project from XCode

Describe what you expected to happen: I expect it to not install duplicate pods/libraries and successful build.

I actually removed all of these contents inside Link Binary With Libraries and the build was successful. But I don’t understand what’s going on in here.

I think RN shifted to Pods , all native ios stuff is now handled by pods , Therefore you don’t need those Linked Libraries. https://github.com/react-native-community/upgrade-helper/issues/47

I updated from 0.57.8 to 0.60.0 following RN Update Helper and my build still failing 😦
