My issue was that I had react-native-cli as a dependency, Everything worked fine once I removed it and the error didn’t show up again. Hope somebody might find this useful.

@lgj1993 Hey guys! upgrade the your yarn to 1.16 can be fix this issue.

Run following sh command on the terminal:

curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash

I tried using CocoaPods 1.6.1 and 1.7.3 on macOS, same Node version, newer Yarn (1.16), but cannot repro. Is this happening consistently? Can you try with Yarn 1.16?

We should always remove the temporary directory where template lives, but I think we can safely get rid of removing the new project when something fails
