CococaPods: pod install crashes the machine

Question

In my react-native project, I did remove Podfile.lock and Pods folder to re-install them due to some version conflict. Installing the pods for with two floowing approaches

1. pod install with or without --repo-update flag at ios folder
2. bundle exec pod install --repo-update --project-directory=ios/ at root,

the process gets stuck at generating pods project, the system slows down, and after some minutes system shuts down/restarts. How should I troubleshoot what is going wrong?

Also if VSCode is open, the code helper (renderer) also get consumes high percentage of cpu when pod install starts

It's the flipper problem I found the solution here Running with --verbose showed me the library causing the problem, https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/2248#issuecomment-830060572 fixed it
