[IOS] Stuck when installing glog (pod install) RN 0.83.1

[sLurPPPeRsTaR]

Here is last information from terminal when do pod install :

     $ /usr/bin/git clone https://github.com/google/glog.git /var/folders/7j/tf_vp07j5q349bmcy1ncw_x00000gn/T/d20260205-31889-uicdoy --template= --single-branch

     Note: switching to 'a6a166db069520dbbd653c97c2e5b12e08a8bb26'.

     You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
     changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
     state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

     If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
     do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

       git switch -c <new-branch-name>

     Or undo this operation with:

       git switch -

     Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

how to reproduce:
This is a fresh installation of React Native 0.83.1. I wanted to try the network feature in React Native DevTools, but I encountered an issue during installation (been waiting like 45-1 hour or so for glog instalation).

any advise =(

thanks community

i have a syntaxe error in
SyntaxError in node_modules/react-native/src/private/components/virtualview/VirtualView.js:

"react-native": "0.83.2"

did you solved your error ?

+1 on freshly installed macOS 26.3, with same project as before reinstall and RN 0.81.5

[saagar]

in case this helps, I was stuck on this step as well. glog install was hanging (0.82.0, using an apple mac m3).
I ran the pod installation using Rosetta 2 and it was able to make progress

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
cd ios
arch -x86_64 pod install

+1 same problem
