IPFS on React Native with nodes-mobile-react-native not working - MacOS

[emclab]

I am trying to add IPFS to react native app with nodes-mobile-react-native. Here is the steps I took on macOS Catalina with Xcode 11.2 and its command line tools installed

1. create a react native project RN 0.61.5
2. install nodes-mobile-react-native 0.5.0. node version 10.17.0
3. test launch the react native app successfully
4. yarn global add ipfs (0.40.0) with success
5. test launch the app and it failed (failed at gc-stats@1.4.0 install script)

The failed message is:

I did test that node-gyp was installed properly. What else was missing here?
