If you’ve recently upgraded to React Native version 0.62 or later and encountered compatibility issues with the CocoaPods dependency “ReactCommon/jscallinvoker”, you’re not alone. This guide will walk you through the steps to resolve this issue effectively.

Understanding the Problem

The error message you might encounter is typically due to CocoaPods not being able to find compatible versions for “ReactCommon/jscallinvoker”. This issue often arises after upgrading React Native or modifying the Podfile.

Solution Steps

For React Native 0.62

  1. Open your Podfile located in the iOS directory of your project.
  2. Replace the following line:
    pod 'ReactCommon/jscallinvoker', :path => "../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon"

    with:

    pod 'ReactCommon/callinvoker', :path => "../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon"
  3. Delete the Podfile.lock and navigate to the iOS directory in your terminal.
  4. Run pod install to update your CocoaPods dependencies.

For React Native 0.63 and Above

  1. Open your Podfile and replace its content with the following configuration:
    
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'

platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'YourProjectName' do
  config = use_native_modules!
  use_react_native!(:path => config["reactNativePath"])

  target 'YourProjectNameTests' do
    inherit! :complete
  end

  use_flipper!
  post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
  end
end

    Replace YourProjectName with the actual name of your project.

  2. Navigate to the iOS directory in your terminal and run pod install.

Additional Considerations

It’s important to note that React Native version 0.63 has dropped support for iOS 9. Ensure your platform line in the Podfile specifies iOS 10 or later.
