Description

The React Native CLI does not seem to detect Cocoapods installed via RubyGems managed by rbenv. The CLI prompts me to install Cocoapods. However, selecting Yes, with gem (may require sudo) throws an error.

✔ CocoaPods (https://cocoapods.org/) is not installed. CocoaPods is necessary for the iOS project to run correctly. Do you want to install it? › Yes, with gem (may require sudo)
✖ Installing CocoaPods
error 
✖ Installing CocoaPods
error Error: An error occured while trying to install CocoaPods, which is required by this template.
Please try again manually: sudo gem install cocoapods.

Reproducible Demo

Run npx react-native init MyFirstRNProject on a machine that has Cocoapods installed via RubyGems managed by rbenv.

I just gave up installing my project with RN version 0.70. Impossible to install Bundler because of the Ruby version, impossible to make any Ruby version manager work
