Problem when installing pods after updating React Native

I think you need to upgrade pod file as there are lots of changes from 62 to 63.

Here is sample for RN 63 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/react-native-community/rn-diff-purge/release/0.63.0-rc.1/RnDiffApp/ios/Podfile

require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'RnDiffApp' do
  config = use_native_modules!

  use_react_native!(:path => config["reactNativePath"])

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

  # Enables Flipper.
  #
  # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
  # you should disable these next few lines.
  use_flipper!
  post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
  end
end

target 'RnDiffApp-tvOS' do
  # Pods for RnDiffApp-tvOS

  target 'RnDiffApp-tvOSTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end
end

I my case, I just changed these lines. At the Podfile and it's fixed my issue.

platform :ios, '9.0'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

TO

require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
platform :ios, '10.0'

I had to update folly pods to

pod 'RCT-Folly', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/RCT-Folly.podspec', :modular_headers => false

from

  pod 'Folly', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/Folly.podspec', :modular_headers => false

I needed to update my Podfile spec reference to fix this, specifically for call invoker.

to this: pod 'React-callinvoker', :path => "../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/callinvoker"

from this: pod 'ReactCommon/callinvoker', :path => "../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon"

UPDATE for RN 0.64.0 :

I ran into similar problem when I upgraded my project RN to 0.64.0. The podfile was not installing. So I deintegrate pod and deleted pod file.

rm podfile
pod deintegrate

Then I created new empty project. Took its podfile and replace it with mine.

Please check my old/new file.

Old Podfile:

   require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
   require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
    platform :ios, '10.0'
    
    pre_install do |installer|
      puts("Image fix for ios14: remove this when upgradeing to >= 0.63.3")
      find = "_currentFrame.CGImage;"
      replace = "_currentFrame.CGImage ;} else { [super displayLayer:layer];"
      op = `sed -ie "s/#{find}/#{replace}/" ../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Image/RCTUIImageViewAnimated.m`
      puts("Image fix for ios14 done")
    end
    
    
    target 'Fomoyolo' do
      config = use_native_modules!
    
      use_react_native!(
        :path => config[:reactNativePath],
        # to enable hermes on iOS, change `false` to `true` and then install pods
        :hermes_enabled => false

      # pod 'RNFirebase', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios'
    
      use_native_modules!
    end

New Podfile:

require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

platform :ios, '12.0'

target 'Fomoyolo' do
  config = use_native_modules!

  use_react_native!(
    :path => config[:reactNativePath],
    # to enable hermes on iOS, change `false` to `true` and then install pods
    :hermes_enabled => false
  )

  # Enables Flipper.cd
  #
  # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
  # you should disable the next line.
  use_flipper!()

  post_install do |installer|
    react_native_post_install(installer)
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '12.0'
      end
    end
  end
end

At the end I have added post_install to force all libraries to install deployment 12.0.
