Hi, I am trying to do the new way of installing the framework. Currently running into errors where my computer is unable to find libevent ~> 2.1.12. Currently running on an M1 MacBook Pro.

trace:

You have either:
 * out-of-date source repos which you can update with `pod repo update` or with `pod install --repo-update`.
 * mistyped the name or version.
 * not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.

Have you tried pod install --repo-update? It's also possible the M1 is causing issues here, but I hope not 😓

Yeah I did with no success sadly.

[JamesKEbert]

I'll see if I can get someone on my team with an M1 to recreate. Two followup questions--was Indy previously used in the project with the old method or is this a new project? Are you able to share your Podfile potentially?

My Podfile:

require File.join(File.dirname(`node --print "require.resolve('expo/package.json')"`), "scripts/autolinking")
require File.join(File.dirname(`node --print "require.resolve('react-native/package.json')"`), "scripts/react_native_pods")
require File.join(File.dirname(`node --print "require.resolve('@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/package.json')"`), "native_modules")

require 'json'
podfile_properties = JSON.parse(File.read(File.join(__dir__, 'Podfile.properties.json'))) rescue {}

platform :ios, podfile_properties['ios.deploymentTarget'] || '13.0'
install! 'cocoapods',
  :deterministic_uuids => false

target 'demowalletcheqd' do
  use_expo_modules!
  config = use_native_modules!

  use_frameworks! :linkage => podfile_properties['ios.useFrameworks'].to_sym if podfile_properties['ios.useFrameworks']

  flags = get_default_flags()

  use_react_native!(
    :path => config[:reactNativePath],
    :hermes_enabled => flags[:hermes_enabled] || podfile_properties['expo.jsEngine'] == 'hermes',
    :fabric_enabled => flags[:fabric_enabled],
    :app_path => "#{Dir.pwd}/.."
  )

  post_install do |installer|
    react_native_post_install(installer)
    __apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround(installer)
  end

  source 'https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk-react-native'

  post_integrate do |installer|
    begin
      expo_patch_react_imports!(installer)
    rescue => e
      Pod::UI.warn e
    end
  end

end

The indy-sdk was only installed via the animo expo plugin.

@blu3beri adding source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org' did the trick for me. I followed the instructions on the npm package and was getting the same error. Then I noticed that the Instructions in the repo were different.

Hope this helps.
