When I try to run pod install, an error is generated at when program reaches Installing Flipper-Glog (0.3.6)
below is the error message in its entirety:

Im using react native 0.63.3 ...and below is my podfile:

require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'xs' do
  config = use_native_modules!

  use_react_native!(:path => config["reactNativePath"])

  permissions_path = '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/ios'
  pod 'Permission-Notifications', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Notifications/Permission-Notifications.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Camera', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Camera/Permission-Camera.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationAlways', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationAlways/Permission-LocationAlways.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationWhenInUse', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationWhenInUse/Permission-LocationWhenInUse.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-PhotoLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/PhotoLibrary/Permission-PhotoLibrary.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-MediaLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/MediaLibrary/Permission-MediaLibrary.podspec"

  pod 'GoogleMaps'
  pod 'Google-Maps-iOS-Utils'
  
  pod 'RNSound', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-sound'

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

  # Enables Flipper.
  #
  # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
  # you should disable these next few lines.
  use_flipper!
  post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
  end
end

UPDATE 2/21 If you comment out the below code in Podfile....then the build gets further (as it doesnt install Flipper-Glog)...but it instead fails at Installing glog (0.3.5)

# use_flipper!()
# post_install do |installer|
#   react_native_post_install(installer)
# end

Looking into the stack-trace, it appears below are the errors:

xcrun: error: SDK "iphoneos" cannot be located
xcrun: error: unable to lookup item 'Path' in SDK 'iphoneos'
configure: error: in/Users/jamesmurphy/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/Pods/External/glog/2263bd123499e5b93b5efe24871be317-73c24:

Does this answer your question? Error trying to install react native, not building correctly when running pod installImpracticable

In my case, just selecting Command Line Tools on Xcode Settings and it will fix.

  1. Click on Xcode from top left corner in Toolbar.

  2. Click on Prefrence

  3. Click on Location

  4. Select Command Line Tools ( it should not be empty . In my case it was empty. Once i choose version then problem solve.)

Even if some Command Line Tools is selected, open select and confirm it again. It fixed the problem.Girardo

Running sudo xcode-select --reset works for me

This error in my case was related with the Command Line Tools configuration. I just select my Xcode version as explain React Native on their documentation https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup

Xcode > Preferences > Locations > Command Line Tools

I got this same issue but the problem was quite different (and simpler) for me, just sharing in case it'll help someone in the future.

I moved Xcode in an external SSD, and my RN project failed installing pods. Turns out the issue was that the name I gave my SSD contained spaces. So after renaming it from "Samsung SSD" to "SamsungSSD" all the pods were successfully installed.

After commenting out the flipper code as noted in my question update....the combination of the 2 answers below solved my issue:
Xcode, Pods ProjectName.debug.xcconfig unable to open file. Wrong directory (answer by @pragmus)
xcrun: error: SDK "iphoneos" cannot be located (answer by @Karrar Al-Mimar)

Delete pod folder and pod.lock in iOS and run the "pod update"

This should solve the issue
