For the past few months, I seem to be getting a “Downloading template error Installing pods failed. This doesn’t affect project initialization and you can safely proceed.” error message.

I’m running the “npx –yes react-native@latest init –version “latest”” command taken from:

https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/getting-started

I’m on windows and I’ve updated to the latest version of node.

Cheers.
