Hey @laurencebedford, I fixed a similar issue by changing my Ruby version to the proper one. Please ensure you have this version of Ruby. What I did:

installed rbenv. Please make sure you copy and paste this line eval "$(rbenv init - zsh)" at the end of the .zschr file after installation. Optional: you might need to install Xcode dev tools, run xcode-select --install in terminal
install ruby version using the version manager above
set it as global/local Optional: the command above might not work if you have .ruby-version file, delete file and try again
make sure you set it properly by running rbenv versions docs
run npx react-native@latest init AwesomeProject

I have the same issue in M2 chip, anyone help? i cant create new projects…

I had this issue too in an Intel Mac. Anyone know how to fix this?

Here is my solution.

I encounter this error as well although have probably set appropriate ruby version using rbenv.

Turn out the error comes from dependency installations with pod install. The error did not displayed at all with the init project command.

You guys can try cd to the project/ios and perform pod install to see if there is any error here and follow the instructions in the error messages. For me it just to do pod install --repo-update manually 🎉

following script fix it for me brew install libffi ln -s $(brew --cellar libffi)/*/include/ffi.h /usr/local/include/ffi.h ln -s $(brew --cellar libffi)/*/include/ffitarget.h /usr/local/include/ffitarget.h referred to this thread: https://github.com/ffi/ffi/issues/814#issuecomment-677655537

hey @Visharada we’d appreciate some help from you on this one 😃

thymikee on Apr 17, 2023

我在 Intel Mac 上也遇到过这个问题。有人知道怎么修这个东西吗？我也是，真无语，官方cli出问题，imac m1 出现一样的问题

Translation:

I also had this problem on an Intel Mac. Does anyone know how to fix this thing? Me too, really speechless, the official cli has a problem, and the imac m1 has the same problem

This is completely correct this issue is leaving M1 chip users screwed over currently.

Looks like bundler installation failed for you. Could you try solution proposed here?
