title: pod install failed on macOS Big sur
body: <p>I am pretty new to macOS and recently shift to macOS from windows, I started to working on react-native app and when I try <code>react-native run-ios</code> it gives me below error</p>
  <pre><code>error Could not find &quot;Podfile.lock&quot; at /Users/saniranimantha/Documents/Learning/albums/ios/Podfile.lock. Did you run &quot;pod install&quot; in iOS directory?
  info Found Xcode project &quot;albums.xcodeproj&quot;

  info Building (using &quot;xcodebuild -project albums.xcodeproj -configuration Debug -scheme albums -destination id=FE71292F-36FA-4226-A8E5-B4EF4E8B625D&quot;)

  (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
  error Failed to build iOS project. We ran &quot;xcodebuild&quot; command but it exited with error code 65. To debug build logs further, consider building your app with Xcode.app, by opening albums.xcodeproj. Run CLI with --verbose flag for more details.
  </code></pre>
  <p>when I search for the reason to this error, I found out that I need to run <code>pod install</code> command, when I try that, it gives me another error. I tried several suggestions from stack-overflow &amp; git, but still no luck. I did install <code>cocoapod</code>. I searched for a similar issue, but couldn't find anything. That's why I decided to post it here for an answer. if anyone can help me here, that would be really great.</p>
  <p><strong>my OS is macOS Big Sur (v11.1)</strong></p>
  <p>this is my podfile</p>

  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>
  for a one react-native project(newly created one) @Leri Gogsadze's answer was working. I cloned a repo which is already developed react-native app, and had the same issue, in that project, I tried the solution suggested by @Leri but did't work <code>react-native run-ios</code> build failed, then I tried <code>pod update</code> command and it now gives me the below error.</p>
