Invalid Podfile file: 809: unexpected token at ''

Hi all, I'm having the above issue when trying to run pod install after adding the @realm/react library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@realm/react).

I have tried removing my node_modules folder, Pods, Podfile, Podfile.lock, reinstalling everything, unadding other dependencies/packages that may be causing conflict issues, and then re-running pod install and it still provides that same issue.

I created a brand new react-native project and tried installing this package and running the pod install command and that worked. After trying again with the --verbose flag, I saw this output:

 #  from /ios/Podfile:42
 #  -------------------------------------------
 #    use_expo_modules!
 >    config = use_native_modules!
 #  
 #  -------------------------------------------

I've ensured that my other dependencies match the ones stated in this repo (https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/main/COMPATIBILITY.md) as well.

Does anybody have any suggestions on what else I can try or take a look at? Any help is appreciated.

I believe I got the answer working. Made sure the dependencies were all set at the right version according to this link: https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/main/COMPATIBILITY.md and specifically had the @realm/react dependency set to version ^0.5.0. This seemed to solve issues.
