I haven't found any resolution with a web search. Any ideas why this is occurring and how to resolve it?

Try running cd ios && pod update to see the output. In my case it was react-native-permissions.
Probably error message should be enhanced though

I got the same Error (see at the end of this comment) and it's actually misleading. The error is caused by a non working pod install. I ran cd ios && pod install separately and found, that there was actually an error in my podfile. I'm in the middle of the upgrade process from RN 0.72.XX --> 0.74.XX an copied a wrong line from the upgrade helper in my local podfile.
