template init w/3rd party dependencies might fail if pod repo out of date #752
Description
Environment
This is a bug in the CLI during template init, so react-native info is not that useful. However, the command starts with npx @react-native-community/cli ... so the version should be current, even though the --version apparently doesn't produce output as a temporary thing...
Description
This is interesting to @Salakar and @thymikee
This is related to:
- feat: install pods after upgrade #565 (comment)
- 🔥 osx template installation fails invertase/react-native-firebase#2351
If a user attempts to install a template with 3rd party modules, it can fail if the 3rd party modules include cocoapods dependencies that aren't present yet in the user's cocoapods repo
Stated differently and more specifically: the react-native-firebase v6 starter template currently (could change in the future...) requires the iOS Firebase SDK Pods at version 6.8.1, and if the user hasn't updated their repo since that version was released, the cli init will fail because pod repo needs to update, but it does not.
Reproducible Demo
First you have to make sure you don't have the requested cocoapod version, then you have to try the init. For me that is:
\rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master/Specs/0/3/5/Firebase/6.8.1
npx @react-native-community/cli init --template=@react-native-firebase/template TestProjectoutput:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/Core":
In Podfile:
RNFBApp (from `../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app`) was resolved to 6.0.0, which depends on
Firebase/Core (~> 6.8.1)
None of your spec sources contain a spec satisfying the dependency: `Firebase/Core (~> 6.8.1)`.
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* out-of-date source repos which you can update with `pod repo update` or with `pod install --repo-update`.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.
Note: as of CocoaPods 1.0, `pod repo update` does not happen on `pod install` by default.
