My Mac version is Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2). XCode is version 12.

I tried everything from React-Native: Error: Failed to install CocoaPods dependencies for iOS project, which is required by this template, but nothing worked. I invoked brew install cocoapods as well.

Any ideas how to get past this? Could it be something to do with the fact that I have a node_modules folder higher up in the directory structure (above where I am running the commands)? I don’t know what this error means.

Here is also output from the missing command:

$ /Users/lancepollard/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/Pods/Release/Flipper-Glog/0.3.6-1dfd6/missing --help
/Users/lancepollard/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/Pods/Release/Flipper-Glog/0.3.6-1dfd6/missing [OPTION]... PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...

Handle `PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...' for when PROGRAM is missing, or return an
error status if there is no known handling for PROGRAM.

Options:
  -h, --help      display this help and exit
  -v, --version   output version information and exit
  --run           try to run the given command, and emulate it if it fails

Supported PROGRAM values:
  aclocal      touch file `aclocal.m4'
  autoconf     touch file `configure'
  autoheader   touch file `config.h.in'
  autom4te     touch the output file, or create a stub one
  automake     touch all `Makefile.in' files
  bison        create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]
  flex         create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
  help2man     touch the output file
  lex          create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
  makeinfo     touch the output file
  tar          try tar, gnutar, gtar, then tar without non-portable flags
  yacc         create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]

    Removing LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS in my bashrc fixed it for me!

    This error happened to me as well. It was because of old CocoaPods version. I used version 1.8.0. After upgrading it to version 1.10.1, the error was gone

    I was able to fix my error by upgrading:

    1. MacOS to Monterrey 12.0.1
    2. XCODE to 13.1
    3. Setting the location on XCODE
    4. Install additional tools when prompted the first time you open XCODE

    Issue seems to be that since the IOS 15 release, RN, simulators and XCODE need to be upgraded together.

    After I upgraded MacOS & XCODE, then pods installed and was able run the simulator properly.
