How to resolve Invalid 'expo-dev-launcher.podspec' file: undefined method 'add_dependency' for Pod:Module in React Native project

I am getting the error

Invalid Podfile file:Invalid expo-dev-launcher.podspec file: undefined method `add_dependency' for Pod:Module.

when I try to do pod install. The error is in the file [MyAppProjectName]/node_modules/expo-dev-launcher/expo-dev-launcher.podspec

I have tried installing expo-dev-launcher to see if that would provide the method that this file is looking for and a number of other things. I have also tried commenting out that line, but then it ran into the same error in another file where the file was using add_dependency(), but the error said again that that method was undefined.

Maybe I am missing a dependency or one of the dependencies should be a different version?

Ultimately, I am trying to create a local development build of my app.

Here are my dependencies in my package.json file:
