I tried using CocoaPods 1.6.1 and 1.7.3 on macOS, same Node version, newer Yarn (1.16), but cannot repro. Is this happening consistently? Can you try with Yarn 1.16?

[thymikee]

@orta @alloy ideas on what could go wrong? Seems like the error is coming from CocoaPods and it happens only on some environments/machines.

[Kennytian]

@lgj1993 Hey guys! upgrade the your yarn to 1.16 can be fix this issue.

Run following sh command on the terminal:

curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash

[liaoguangjing]

Cheers，just like you say, upgrade the yarn to latest version, pod install is working. @thymikee and @Kennytian , you're really smart guys!

Super thanks from Wuhan, China! 🇨🇳

[Kennytian]

@thymikee This problem is because yarn --silent run-native config can not work with Yarn version 1.3.2?

But Yarn 1.6.1 can run yarn --silent run-native config

[thymikee]

@Kennytian looks like --silent is supported in Yarn 1.3.1, however it also spawns some Node deprecation messages what are corrupting the JSON output. I've sent #449 to address that by removing running config through Yarn.

It might not be caused by a specific yarn version, I'm experiencing the same issue on the following environment:

[thymikee]

Yarn may output some other validation messages that are not stripped out when ran with --silent. We'll just use node to run the command.

[alloy]

@thymikee Yep, that sounds like the best course 👍

[thymikee]

Thanks @alloy 🚀

I'm still experiencing this error. Here's my react-native info output:

I'd really appreciate any help on this. Is there a --verbose flag to get more information on what may be causing the issue?

[thymikee]

Xcode: /undefined - /usr/bin/xcodebuild

This looks fishy. Do you have a working Xcode environment?

I'd really appreciate any help on this. Is there a --verbose flag to get more information on what may be causing the issue?

You can run pod install --verbose.

Also, please update the @react-native-community/cli to the latest version, we're constantly rolling fixes and improvements.
