You have either:
 * mistyped the name or version.
 * not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.

• Solutions used

  1. Updating pods. repo : arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update

  2. Reinstal cocoapods :

     • brew install cocoapods
     • brew link --override cocoapods

  3. React/Core to React-Core : grep -rl "s.dependency 'React/Core'" node_modules/ | xargs sed -i '' 's=React/Core=React-Core=g'

  4. Install ffi : sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

Answer 1

I had the same issue with RN 0.66.3

what worked for me:

• delete Padfile.lock file
• pod cache clean --all
• cd ios && pod install && cd ..
