_No response_

### Summary

I have installed Expo modules and configured EAS build on my existing React Native 0.70.15 project and when running `eas build --platform ios --profile development --local` it gives me an error saying: `Could not find proper version of cocoapods (1.15.2) in any of the sources`

10/14 checks passed. 4 checks failed. Possible issues detected:
Use the --verbose flag to see more details about passed checks.

✖ Check for issues with Metro config
It looks like that you are using a custom metro.config.js that does not extend @expo/metro-config. This can lead to unexpected and hard to debug issues. Learn more: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/customizing-metro/
Advice:
Update your metro.config.js to extend @expo/metro-config.

✖ Check that native modules use compatible support package versions for installed Expo SDK
Expected package @expo/config-plugins@^5.0.2
Found invalid:
@expo/config-plugins@4.0.16
(for more info, run: npm why @expo/config-plugins)
Advice:
Upgrade dependencies that are using the invalid package versions.

✖ Check for app config fields that may not be synced in a non-CNG project
This project contains native project folders but also has native configuration properties in app.json, indicating it is configured to use Prebuild. When the android/ios folders are present, EAS Build will not sync the following properties: android, ios.

Advice:
Add '/android' and '/ios' to your .gitignore file if you intend to use CNG / Prebuild. Learn more: https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/prebuild/#usage-with-eas-build

✖ Check that packages match versions required by installed Expo SDK
Some dependencies are incompatible with the installed expo version:
@react-native-async-storage/async-storage@1.15.17 - expected version: ~1.17.3
@react-native-community/datetimepicker@3.5.2 - expected version: 6.5.2
@react-native-community/netinfo@11.3.2 - expected version: 9.3.5
@types/react@18.3.3 - expected version: ~18.0.24
lottie-react-native@6.7.0 - expected version: 5.1.4
react-native@0.70.15 - expected version: 0.70.8
react-native-gesture-handler@1.10.3 - expected version: ~2.8.0
react-native-pager-view@6.2.3 - expected version: 6.0.1
react-native-reanimated@2.17.0 - expected version: ~2.12.0
react-native-safe-area-context@3.3.2 - expected version: 4.4.1
react-native-screens@3.29.0 - expected version: ~3.18.0
react-native-svg@12.1.1 - expected version: 13.4.0
react-native-view-shot@3.8.0 - expected version: 3.4.0
react-native-webview@11.26.1 - expected version: 11.23.1
Your project may not work correctly until you install the correct versions of the packages.
Install individual packages by running npx expo install @react-native-async-storage/async-storage@~1.17.3 @react-native-community/datetimepicker@6.5.2 @react-native-community/netinfo@9.3.5 @types/react@~18.0.24 lottie-react-native@5.1.4 react-native@0.70.8 react-native-gesture-handler@~2.8.0 react-native-pager-view@6.0.1 react-native-reanimated@~2.12.0 react-native-safe-area-context@4.4.1 react-native-screens@~3.18.0 react-native-svg@13.4.0 react-native-view-shot@3.4.0 react-native-webview@11.23.1
