CocoaPods is only supported on darwin machines

No search results for that! Please help! I’ll try to reboot meanwhile.

I updated yarn with npm install -g yarn and tried to install async-storage again:

 yarn add @react-native-community/async-storage
yarn add v1.22.4

Could those warnings be related to the reason? I installed yarn just today… From https://classic.yarnpkg.com/ with .msi file.

CocoaPods is only supported on darwin machines

It means that CocoaPods are only available for MacOS. You can use Expo, which has dependencies bundled inside, so you can develop iOS on Windows.

Thank you! Just to be sure: Can I use it only for Android now AND later with Mac simply use pod install to make it work for iOS in that project? With no extra actions. Hope the question makes sense 😃

Hi, did you find a solution to this problem? Is it only MacOS that can use pod install? Thanks,

There is no way to pod install on any other platform than macOS. CocoaPods is a dependency manager for apps on Apple platforms. You cannot build an app for Apple platforms without a Mac, unless you use a third-party service like Expo. This is not a “problem”. It is just how things currently are if you want to develop an app for iOS/macOS.
