I'm also getting the same error, and I haven't been able to solve it.

Even I'm getting the same error for the past 3 days. The bundling is not happening properly

Workaround:

When react-native init fails at cocoapods installation, do the following steps:

1. Go to your project directory and open Gemfile
2. Replace Cocoapods version with 1.13
3. Insert following line at the end of Gemfile : gem 'activesupport', '~> 7.0.8'
4. Run bundle install in your project directory
5. Go to ios directory in your project
6. Run bundle exec pod install

Now proceed as you would if react-native init was successful

It's working successfully this way, but when I create another project, I encounter the same error. Isn't there a permanent solution?

The fix has been made, it just needs to be released.

I'm still facing an issue when I run bundle install

In Gemfile: cocoapods was resolved to 1.13.0, which depends on cocoapods-core was resolved to 1.13.0, which depends on typhoeus was resolved to 1.4.0, which depends on ethon was resolved to 0.16.0, which depends on ffi
