Failure of pod install for the React-native project using Yarn Berry

Simply, I can't install the pod for the react-native project when I use the yarn - Berry or any newer version 3.x or 4.x. Is there anyone who made this work? Thanks!

This can be re-introduced by following these steps:

1 - yarn set version berry

2 - npx react-native init abc

You will get failure for installing the pod files. The same for the existing projects as well. I am using react-native 0.74.0, 0.74.1

Node.js v22.0.0

Here is how my pod file looks like:

# Resolve react_native_pods.rb with node to allow for hoisting
require Pod::Executable.execute_command('node', ['-p',
  'require.resolve(
    "react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb",
    {paths: [process.argv[1]]},
  )', __dir__]).strip

platform :ios, min_ios_version_supported
prepare_react_native_project!

linkage = ENV['USE_FRAMEWORKS']
if linkage != nil
  Pod::UI.puts "Configuring Pod with #{linkage}ally linked Frameworks".green
  use_frameworks! :linkage => linkage.to_sym
end

target 'abc' do
  config = use_native_modules!

  use_react_native!(
    :path => config[:reactNativePath],
    # An absolute path to your application root.
    :app_path => "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/.."
  )

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

  post_install do |installer|
    # https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb#L197-L202
    react_native_post_install(
      installer,
      config[:reactNativePath],
      :mac_catalyst_enabled => false,
      # :ccache_enabled => true
    )
  end
end

And package.json file:

Simply, I can't install the pod for the react-native project when I use the yarn - Berry or any newer version 3.x or 4.x. Is there anyone who made this work? Thanks!

Add .yarnrc.yml file to root of your project with content:

nodeLinker: node-modules

yarnPath: .yarn/releases/yarn-4.1.1.cjs

Also add "packageManager": "yarn@4.1.1" to your package.json

Then delete node_modules and yarn.lock

Run yarn set version 4.1.1, then yarn install and after this try to install pods
