[SOLVED] Pod installation fails at glog with React Native and Mac M2

Pod installation fails at glog with React Native and Mac M2

My problem

I bought my MacBook Pro M2 two weeks ago, and since then, I've been unable to install the pods in my React Native app. (I've been working with React Native for over a year without issues on an M1).

The error starts when I run the command cd ios && pod install, I always get an error when it reaches the glog pod.

My goal

I want to run npm run ios (like I always did with my previous mac) and install/run the app in the iOS simulator.

What I've tried

During the last 2-3 weeks, I've been installing & re-installing everything from Node, Ruby, Bundler, Xcode, Command Line Tools... I've tried everything from the github and stack overflow issues, but none of the worked for me and I'm really desperate that nothing seems to work.

Command that throws error

cd ios && pod install

You are in a 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commits, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branch by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you can do so (now or later) with the checkout command using -c. For example:

   git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo the operation with:

   git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting the advice.detachedHead configuration variable to false.

Solution

Perhaps you have already tried this but have you tried deleting podfile.lock to delete old pods and and reinstall everything doing

pod deintegrate pod setup pod install
