error Installing pods failed. This doesn't affect project initialization and you can safely proceed.
However, you will need to install pods manually when running iOS, follow additional steps in "Run instructions for iOS" section.

info 💡 To enable automatic CocoaPods installation when building for iOS you can create react-native.config.js with automaticPodsInstallation field.
For more details, see https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/main/docs/projects.md#projectiosautomaticpodsinstallation

I have fixed this issue by uninstalling yarn . And after this was fixed

@imdipprokash it may be acceptable for you to uninstall yarn but this is definitely not a fix.

I am experiencing the same issue. And I know that other developers on mac and yarn 1.x.x do too.
As far as I can tell npx @react-native-community/cli init upgrades the yarn version to 3.x.x which breaks everything. It's not possible to use yarn after that. Another workaround is to manually downgrade to 1.x.x.
