Upgrade Xcode iOS Pods to support M1 Macs

Job ID: 32444729

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Dear freelancers,

right now, the Xcode needs to be opened using "Open with Rosetta" to be able to compile for iOS Simulators on M1 Macs.

We need someone to upgrade our Xcode iOS app project to support these M1-chip-based Macs without "Open with Rosetta" workaround.
This means upgrading the Pods to the latest SDKs OR using some idea (like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70197724/react-native-exclude-arm64-architecture-on-m1-machines; but it needs to be possible to compile for all device types and also submit to TestFlight/App Store Connect).
For updating Pods, three (out of about 5/6 needing to be updated) could be problematic:

SwiftQRScanner - https://github.com/vinodiOS/SwiftQRCodeScanner – this Pod has not been updated since February 2020, so we can't use the project without rosetta until we remove this library and integrate any other library with M1 support

SwiftyStoreKit - https://github.com/bizz84/SwiftyStoreKit – the same issue with this Pod; updated but we can't see any commit related to M1 support and an issue is open related to M1 Mac simulators, so we do not know if this will work with M1 or not

NFCReaderWriter - https://github.com/janlionly/NFCReaderWriter – last updated a year ago


Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks!
