   Note: English is not my first language, so I apologize if I misunderstood the original problem.

   I'm encountering issues with the pod installation process and finding the CLI behavior confusing. Here are my concerns:

   1. Deprecated pod install command
   When I run pod install directly, the CLI warns me that it's deprecated and suggests I should use yarn ios instead. However, this creates confusion about the expected workflow.

   2. Unclear CLI process
   When running yarn ios, I cannot determine whether pods are being installed automatically:

   yarn ios
   info Found Xcode workspace "goat.xcworkspace"
   info No booted devices or simulators found. Launching first available simulator...
   info Launching iPhone 17 (iOS 26.1)
   

   Expected behavior:

   • The CLI should automatically install pods before attempting to build the app (currently it doesn't seem to)
   • The CLI should provide clear feedback about what's happening during the process (e.g., "Installing pods...", "Pods installed successfully")

   3. Using prebuilt RNCore
   I'm currently using the prebuilt configuration with a custom script in my package.json:

   "pod": "cd ios && RCT_USE_RN_DEP=1 RCT_USE_PREBUILT_RNCORE=1 pod install"

   • If the CLI is supposed to run pod install automatically, how can I ensure it uses the prebuilt configuration?
   • How do I know if pods were installed successfully when running yarn ios?
   • What is the recommended workflow for using prebuilt with the current CLI?

   Hey @sreekanthSubramani! The problem you are seeing with Cocoapods is something you should report to the CLI repository. That's component is the one that orchestrate the npm run ios command.

   As a workaround, what happens if you do the following:

   # from the root of your project:
   cd ios
   bundle install
   bundle exec pod install
   

   ??

   This installs cocoapods manually in the project.

   Then, you can open your project with:

   open <ProjectName>.xcworkspace
   

   And build and run from Xcode

   Regarding:

   Firebase + Google Sign-In + RN 0.82 + NewArch = NOT YET SUPPORTED.

   This is not true. As far as we know, Firebase works with the New Architecture. What is not working with Firebase is using the iOS precompiled binaries, which are still experimental, and we are investigating why.

   with same specs, installing cocoapods 1.16.2 and making sure in gemfile you have no limit for xcodeproj and adding
   gem 'nkf'
   at the end of the gemfile. Here is gem file that fixed my cocoapods install error:

   // gemfile
   source 'https://rubygems.org'

   ruby ">= 2.6.10"

   gem 'cocoapods', '1.16.2'
   gem 'activesupport', '>= 6.1.7.5', '!= 7.1.0'
   gem 'xcodeproj'
   gem 'concurrent-ruby', '< 1.3.4'

   gem 'bigdecimal'
   gem 'logger'
   gem 'benchmark'
   gem 'mutex_m'
   gem 'nkf'

   Just for reference - you can disable the automatic pod install if your workflow already do that beforehand (like our case) by modifying the react-native.config.js at the root of your project:

   // react-native.config.js
   module.exports = {
     project: {
       ios: {
         automaticPodsInstallation: false,
       },
     },
   };
   

   Also I can confirm that Firebase is fully supported on the New Architecture.
