notes on installing react-native-waku-examples
from https://github.com/waku-org/waku-react-native

on mbp, m1 apple silicon.
os: 12.5.1

Issue #1: cocoapods wrong version or old

command:  `sudo gem uninstall cococapods`
`brew install cocoapods`

Issue #2: no `pod-install`
not to be confused with `pod install`

solution: `npm install pod-install`

Issue #3: no `sha256sum` installed

solution: `brew install coreutils`

Issue #4: no `gowaku` module installed

solution: run `download-gowaku.sh` in main repo
`/waku-react-native/` directory.  Note: sha256sum required for this to work.

Tip #1: always open WORKSPACES in xcode and NOT PROJECTS.  workspaces include projects within them.

Finally from the `/waku-react-native` directory
`yarn`
`yarn prepare`
`yarn bootstrap`

then within the `/example/` directory
run `yarn ios`
to launch app in simulator
