This is the series of steps I took to upgrade react-native after I found out that the current yarn ios command is not compatible with Xcode 13. These are the steps I took to get different error messages, not a full set of commands / steps I ran...
From package/app:
npx react-native upgrade
From package/app/ios:
pod install
In package/app/ios/Podfile (not sure if this was neccessary but was running into issues compiling RCT-Folly)
...
def add_flipper_pods!
version = '~> 0.87.0'
...I then needed to do the step described in this Stack Overflow Post. This didn't work...
I then had a build error that a React Native Core module couldn't be compiled. Doing a yarn upgrade fixed that build error, but then causes this:
/Users/ozziekirkby/Documents/github.com/andymatuschak/orbit/node_modules/react-native/React/CoreModules/RCTActionSheetManager.mm:98:72: error: no member named 'cancelButtonTintColor' in 'JS::NativeActionSheetManager::SpecShowActionSheetWithOptionsOptions'

I tried to manually bump react-native and react, as well as nuke my pods and ran pod install --repo-update. In this case, I ran into the ld: framework not found EXFileSystem error.
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX11.3.sdk/System/iOSSupport/usr/lib /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/maccatalyst'

I retried approach 1, except I nuked my node_modules and my Pods and ran it to make sure I was inline with the current master. I then did the upgrade process described in Approach 1. Also, I bumped the Podfile version to 12.0 because some github posts hinted that this might help, however it just left with the same error as approach 2.
As a last ditch effort, I redownloaded Xcode 12.5.1. To my surprise Xcode <13 is not compatiable on Monterey? So I had todo this workaround. Ultimately, doing a similiar steps as described as Approach 1, I was left with the infamous ld: framework not found EXFileSystem error.
I quit at this point 😩
