iOS Pod install fails: Unable to find specification for RCT-Folly depended upon by FasterImage

[midiiiwo]

Bug Report

Issue

pod install fails on iOS when react-native-faster-image is installed on React Native 0.84.

Error:

[!] Unable to find a specification for `RCT-Folly` depended upon by `FasterImage`

You have either:
 * mistyped the name or version.
 * not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.

Expected Behavior

pod install should complete successfully after installing react-native-faster-image on React Native 0.84.

Actual Behavior

pod install fails due to missing RCT-Folly dependency.

When react-native-faster-image is removed, pod install works perfectly and the project builds successfully.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install react-native-faster-image

npm install react-native-faster-image

2. Run

cd ios
pod install

3. Pod installation fails with RCT-Folly error

4. Remove the package

npm uninstall react-native-faster-image
cd ios
pod install

5. Pod install works successfully

Environment

• React Native: 0.84
• Platform: iOS
• Hermes: Enabled
• New Architecture: Enabled
• CocoaPods: (fill your version)
• macOS: (fill your version)

Additional Notes

It appears react-native-faster-image depends on RCT-Folly, which is no longer available or has changed in React Native 0.84.

The FasterImage.podspec includes:

s.dependency "RCT-Folly"

This causes CocoaPods to fail during installation.

Suggested Fix

Update FasterImage podspec to support React Native 0.84 by:

• updating the Folly dependency
• or removing the outdated RCT-Folly dependency
• or aligning with the current React Native iOS pod structure

Impact

The library cannot be used in React Native 0.84 iOS projects because pod installation fails completely.
