I had the same error and I was able to fix it by moving RNReactNativeABeep.podspec up one level from current folder ios.

@jackywxd can you please elaborate the steps what you did, Are talking about the IOS level ?

[jackywxd]

RNReactNativeABeep.podspec should be moved to folder react-native-a-beep from its subfolder ios

@jackywxd Do you need to apply a patch to do this or something else? I'd love the solution !
Thanks ;)

Yes you can use https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package to patch it.

If @trietho could fix it in the main branch that's the most ideal solution. For temporary solution, @Rodrigo816 is correct, you could use patch-package to patch it in case you need to run yarn install again. @QuentG

I tried thie patch-package + moving podspec approach and it seemed to work fine, but on subsequent pod installs the Podfile.lock showed changes removing RNReactNativeABeep and the problem would recur... I thought I followed the steps for patch-package properly… maybe not?
