Brand new react native v0.67.2 project produces build errors

[loekTheDreamer]

Expected results

App should open in ios simulator

Observed results

Build fails in terminal with error before the app is opened on the device

Logs

The following build commands failed:
PhaseScriptExecution [CP-User]\ Generate\ Specs /Users/doris/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-dbyuhsmbemopkbfmujohxtmsgxgv/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/FBReactNativeSpec.build/Script-5F4C70EF7D90A5A5BDAEB404279F232A.sh (in target 'FBReactNativeSpec' from project 'Pods')
(1 failure)

Steps to reproduce

1. npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript
2. comment out lines 26-29 in PodFile (because that produces a different error) then run pod install/ pod update again:

  # post_install do |installer|
  #   react_native_post_install(installer)
  #   __apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround(installer)
  # end

3. yarn ios

Extra Notes

I've scoured the internet for a solution and it seems everyone with a M1 chip set there nvm (nvm unalias default) and then magically there problem is solved.

My folder structure was documents/royal protocol/react native/ and I had to remove all spaces in all parent folders to resolve this issue. thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/a/67289307/1524165
