React Native moving away from Cocoapods

If you try to run ( cd ios && pod install ) in your Expo project, you will now see:

==================== DEPRECATION NOTICE =====================
Calling `pod install` directly is deprecated in React Native
because we are moving away from Cocoapods toward alternative
solutions to build the project.
* If you are using Expo, please run:
`npx expo run:ios`
* If you are using the Community CLI, please run:
`yarn ios`
=============================================================

They still use pod install under the hood, only the command you run is changed for now. The plan is to use something else, and the most likely contender to replace pod install is Swift Package Manager.
