entering the command:

npx create-react-native-module MyFancyLibrary --generate-example

creates the module and the Android example but terminates with the given error:

pod --version failure, aborting with broken example app
Error while creating library module react-native-my-fancy-library

I'm unsure whether the creation of the module (everything but iOS example) has completed or not.

EDIT

I forgot to use --platforms flag!

brodycj / create-react-native-module

creating module with example on Linux (or non-mac device) falis #470
