openssl/opensslv.h file not found

Whenever i initialize a react native project and run it for the first time, i always get the above error and my fix to this is

1. comment out use_flipper!() in your podfile located in ios/ directory

# use_flipper!()

1. delete this file -> podfile.lock
2. delete Pods folder
3. run pod install in terminal after navigating to the ios folder of your project. Then navigate back to the root of your project and try to build again. Hope this helps
