Troubleshooting

• Since I work on OS X I decided to move forward with the React Native directions for using Xcode & CocoaPods.
• I had latest Xcode installed which is 12.4
• I ran into issues where iOS was refusing to build due to cocoa pods using iOS version 8.0 which had been deprecated in Xcode version 12.
• Spent about 30 minutes troubleshooting and found an issue on the CocoaPods repo.
• Was able to get it sucessfully built after removing TicTacToe/ios/TicTacToe.xcworkspace, running pod update and then pod install prior to starting the build.
