react-native: [FIXED] `error bundler: failed to load command: pod`, `deprecate to_default_s: :to_s, deprecator: ActiveSupport.deprecator`

Description

I tried creating a new project in react native:

npx react-native@latest init myApp

When creating the project I get this:

The problem appears to be that CocoaPods isn’t using an exact version of the activesupport gem and while it needs 7.0.8 it’s pulling in 7.1.0 which breaks things. A workaround I found is to update the Gemfile in the root with the following: gem 'activesupport', '~> 7.0', '<= 7.0.8'

Then run bundle update --bundler in the root then bundle install and bundle exec pod install in the ios directory and everything should work.

Yeah, so… Unfortunately, Active Support released version 7.1.0 this morning, which is not compatible with Cocoapods. I already pushed a fix on main: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/ce39931bc2b02f13cbc5751ba4d4a6dbc07bc91a The release crew is aware of that and they are working to release all the supported versions with the fix:

  • 0.70
  • 0.71
  • 0.72
  • 0.73.0-RC.2

Meanwhile, you can:

  • apply the changes shown in the commit above to your local Gemfile
  • run bundle install again to pull the right version of ActiveSupport (this is needed only once)
  • run bundle exec pod install to reinstall the pods.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!

@kyadalu1

  • add gem 'activesupport', '>= 6.1.7.3', '< 7.1.0' to Gemfile.
  • delete Gemfile.lock.
  • run cd ios && bundle install && cd ...
  • run npx pod-install

@Prabhat1933 which version of React Native are you using? And what command have you issued?

Please try:

  • navigate to your project root
  • rm -rf vendor/
  • rm -rf Gemfile.lock
  • cd ios
  • bundle install
  • bundle exec pod install

Anyway, the error says Gem::FilePermissionError: You don't have write permissions for the /Users/user/Documents/Awesome/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.2.0 directory so it seems a different error, and a Permission one, so probably related to your local environment.

@Prabhat1933 this is a different issue, so, please, open a new one. Let’s not pollute this issue for people looking at solution for Ruby failures.

Resolved — please upgrade to react-native@0.72.6

We’ve shipped a fix for this bug as part of the latest React Native 0.72 patch release: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases/tag/v0.72.6.

Please upgrade to this version to resume successful iOS builds!
