React Native reports "Cannot initialize a parameter of type'NSArray＜id＜RCTBridgeModule＞＞" error (solution)

Recently, when running an old RN project, the following code error was reported when running it with Xcode:

Cannot initialize a parameter of type 'NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *'
with an lvalue of type 'NSArray<Class> *__strong'
Cannot initialize a parameter of type 'NSArray<Class> *'
with an lvalue of type 'NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *__strong'
Cannot initialize a parameter of type 'NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *'
with an rvalue of type 'NSArray<Class> *'

This is a problem after upgrading to XCode 12.5. Just add the following script to the ios/Podfile file.

post_install do |installer|
## Fix for XCode 12.5
  find_and_replace(
  "../node_modules/react-native/React/CxxBridge/RCTCxxBridge.mm",
  "_initializeModules:(NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *)modules", 
  "_initializeModules:(NSArray<Class> *)modules")
  
  find_and_replace(
  "../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/turbomodule/core/platform/ios/RCTTurboModuleManager.mm",
  "RCTBridgeModuleNameForClass(module))", 
  "RCTBridgeModuleNameForClass(Class(module)))"
  )
end

def find_and_replace(dir, findstr, replacestr)
  Dir[dir].each do |name|
      text = File.read(name)
      replace = text.gsub(findstr,replacestr)
      if text != replace
          puts "Fix: " + name
          File.open(name, "w") { |file| file.puts replace }
          STDOUT.flush
      end
  end
  Dir[dir + '*/'].each(&method(:find_and_replace))
end

Then, re-execute the pod install command to install it.
