Reproducible Demo

Not sure why this is happing, but this is started after installing "@react-native-firebase" this package

[alloy]

Can you provide an example project that reproduces the problem?

[ImAbhishekTomar]

i try lot to reproduces but i don't know how this is happening... finally i have created new project and migrating things in that one by one.. :(

[ghost]

I had the same problem in Azure Devops Pipeline, I upgraded node to the latest version and that solved my problem.

[alloy]

@ImAbhishekTomar Any updates on this from your end?

[gatspy]

I had the same problem and finally found out that when I modified the AndroidManifest.xml file, I commented out some nodes which caused the execution of the 'pod instgall' command error.

[jaypeng2015]

Had the same problem and then fixed by running npm uninstall react-native-cli

[alloy]

Thanks for additions, seems like it can be closed now until further notice 👍

[A-Tokyo]

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.

[anastely]

Should I remove react-native-cli in project root or in general?
cuz I don't see it in package.json?

[A-Tokyo]

@anastely In my case it was in package.json

I think it'd help tho if you remove it completely 👍

[raphaelrk]

I removed my node_modules, Pods, and Podfile.lock, then re-ran yarn and pod install and it worked again ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[iSanjayAchar]

@raphaelrk It worked for me too

[tugzera]

Same error here......

[andreasanta]

I removed my node_modules, Pods, and Podfile.lock, then re-ran yarn and pod install and it worked again ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This is the only thing that worked for me. Thank you!

[nickmurray47]

I removed my node_modules, Pods, and Podfile.lock, then re-ran yarn and pod install and it worked again ¯_(ツ)_/¯

what were your exact commands? I tried the same thing and it didn't work.

[gorkaman]

This worked after I used global uninstall: npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

[thinklinux]

@raphaelrk this worked out! Thanks!

[Dustin-Hashi]

@raphaelrk Thanks a bunch. You had the correct solution for me!

[deckele]

None of the above methods worked for me.
I had this error caused by an old NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS environment variable I had sitting around.
What worked was running:
unset NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS

[rafales]

1. The issue here is that use_native_modules! hides the real issue.
2. In my case it was missing import in react-native.config.js.
