actually may be it is not stuck. Try cd ios && pod install --verbose for more info. As shown as below, it will show time consume info while download. In my case, it use 45 minutes to download and install hermes-engine (0.71.4). Very very slow....

most of time the issue is due to slow internet connection. i was creating a new project via internet connection 1 at home so it always stuck there Installing hermes-engine (0.71.2). but when moved to another internet connection 2 at office then it get 5 mins to creaate a new project via the command npx react-native init mynewawesomeproject . as @kyo-kurosagi mentioned in the answer try this so you can check the progress. it may take upto 40 mins even hour to download and install. pod install --verbose

If we can download `hermes-engine` from VPN much more quickly, then how can we make it as a local cache? — Soul Clinic, Aug 28 '23 at 08:04

I have managed to fix this problem by following the instructions in this comment.

So basically what you have to do:

Install the version of Ruby listed in the Gemfile and .ruby-version. You can use http://rbenv.org/ or https://rvm.io/ to install and use the version from the .ruby-version file. Here are the instructions for rbenv
Install correct version of CocoaPods using bundle install
Update the CocoaPods repo using bundle exec pod repo update
Install pods by cd-ing into the ios folder cd ios and then run bundle exec pod install

I get the following error: `The requested URL returned error: 403`. So I don't think my issue is ruby or gem related. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — Mike S., May 08 '23 at 14:10

You need to clean and re-install your pods:

1 - sudo gem install cocoapods-clean

2 - pod deintegrate

3 - pod clean ( this is no longer available )

4 - sudo pod install --allow-root
