IOS: Invalid `Podfile` file: no implicit conversion of nil into String

Question

I just started learning react-native. While trying to run npx pod-install I get:

Scanning for pods...
1.11.3
> pod install
Auto-linking React Native modules for target `AudioOnlyRN`: RNCAsyncStorage, RNCClipboard, react-native-background-timer, react-native-daily-js, and react-native-webrtc

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: no implicit conversion of nil into String.

Any idea what mismatch do I have going on here?

I'm not sure I understand the hierarchy of the relationships between node_modules/package.json and Podfile.

Did you manage to fix the error? I have the same problem

try changing

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

to

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

I already have that use_react_native!(:path => config[:reactNativePath], but still getting the issue.

I ran into a very similar (albeit different) error:

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: no implicit conversion of Pathname into String.

For me the issue was that react-native was set as a peer dependency. When I added react-native as a regular dependency, the pod install worked without error.
