“Can anyone help fix the React Native error build: Framework not found hermes on MacOS 13.3/Xcode 14?”

After upgrading macOS from 12.x to the latest 13.x, the build of my React Native 0.70.1 starts to throw the error above. ruby -v outputs:

rbenv: version `2.7.5' is not installed (set by /Users/macair/documents/code/js/myapp/.ruby-version)

And

brew -v
Homebrew 3.6.12
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 1d7a7a30898; last commit 2022-11-22)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision c0c877a95b; last commit 2022-11-22)

However if moving out of the app root directory or other directory above, ruby -v outputs:

ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [arm64-darwin21]

The MacOS 13.x comes with ruby 2.6.8 preinstalled as it says but it was nowhere to be found on the Mac. Both react-native run-ios and pod install run successfully. However the build did fail.
