Adding React Native module doesn't add line to Podfile, but `pod install` installs it anyway

Question

I added react-native-device-info with npm i react-native-device-info. I'm using React Native 0.61, so I expected that it would automatically add a line in my Podfile for RNDeviceInfo. My Podfile didn't change, BUT when I ran pod install, it said "Installing React Native Device Info". I notice that doing this didn't add a .xcodeproj or .a file to Xcode. Can anyone help me understand what's going on?

Answer 1

You have to go node_modules folder, and find react-native-device-info folder and final step is remove RNDeviceInfo.podspec file. I recommended you copy RNDeviceInfo.podspec file before removing.
