I have tried using ruby rvm and use ruby 2.7.5 and adding the gemfile after bundle install, it still gives the same error.

I am also facing the same issue.

If I remove these lines, error message disappear. So these lines maybe related to this issue.

react_native_post_install(
    installer,
    # Set `mac_catalyst_enabled` to `true` in order to apply patches
    # necessary for Mac Catalyst builds
    :mac_catalyst_enabled => false
)

[cuteWarmFrog]

Set this flag :mac_catalyst_enabled to true and it actually fixed crush while pod install

[bukhari-flip]

Set this flag :mac_catalyst_enabled to true and it actually fixed crush while pod install

I can confirm, this is actually works. Thanks 👍🏻

No, it's not working on my end.

After removing this code from podfile it works.

post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
    installer.pods_project.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings["EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"] = "arm64"
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '12.1'
    end
    react_native_post_install(
      installer,
      # Set `mac_catalyst_enabled` to `true` in order to apply patches
      # necessary for Mac Catalyst builds
      :mac_catalyst_enabled => false
    )
    __apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround(installer)
  end

I tired, it does not work.

First of all I don't think it's a good idea to remove the post install phase.

As @codingslash76 mentioned, it works if we remove the post_install process but actually it works if we add escape character before the t to node_modules/react-native/scripts/cocoapods/utils.rb:144

        lib_search_paths.delete("$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swif\t-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)")
        lib_search_paths.delete("\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swif\t-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"")

but this is inside the npm package so it will have to be done every time we do npm install.

it works if we remove these 2 lines:

@Sam-Lam-Secret-Key-Labs

Could you please specify which file you modified? I'm facing the same issue. Thanks!

This work around is working, for now, shouldnt make you miss anything.
