Podfile

Resolve react_native_pods.rb with node to allow for hoisting

require Pod::Executable.execute_command('node', ['-p',
'require.resolve(
"react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb",
{paths: [process.argv[1]]},
)', dir]).strip

platform :ios, min_ios_version_supported
prepare_react_native_project!

If you are using a react-native-flipper your iOS build will fail when NO_FLIPPER=1 is set.

because react-native-flipper depends on (FlipperKit,...) that will be excluded

To fix this you can also exclude react-native-flipper using a react-native.config.js

```js

module.exports = {

dependencies: {

...(process.env.NO_FLIPPER ? { 'react-native-flipper': { platforms: { ios: null } } } : {}),

```

flipper_config = ENV['NO_FLIPPER'] == "1" ? FlipperConfiguration.disabled : FlipperConfiguration.enabled

linkage = ENV['USE_FRAMEWORKS']
if linkage != nil
Pod::UI.puts "Configuring Pod with #{linkage}ally linked Frameworks".green
use_frameworks! :linkage => linkage.to_sym
end

target 'fitcheq' do
config = use_native_modules!

use_react_native!(
:path => config[:reactNativePath],
# Enables Flipper.
#
# Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
# you should disable the next line.
:flipper_configuration => flipper_config,
# An absolute path to your application root.
:app_path => "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/.."
)

target 'fitcheqTests' do
inherit! :complete
# Pods for testing
end

post_install do |installer|
# https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb#L197-L202
