Hi @isaac-tribal, thanks for reporting.
Are you getting this error on every run or on some specific branch?

Hi @isaac-tribal thanks for reporting this!

Nitro's action is using the ruby/setup-ruby action to ensure ruby is installed but it assumes your RN project includes a .ruby-version file which is not good as previous RN versions does not include this file by default or you may don't want to have this file in your project.

As a temporary workaround you can include a .ruby-version file specifying a version inside of it.

Upon further consideration, I believe that it should not be Nitro's responsibility to take care of this. Rather, it should be something that the end user should define, including a new step if necessary. Something like:

name: nitro-build-ios
on: workflow_dispatch
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: macos-12
    env:
      NITRO_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.NITRO_API_KEY }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1
        with:
          ruby-version: '2.7.6' # or whatever version
      - uses: nitro-build/github-action-nitro-ios@v1

I'd like to hear your thoughts regarding this.
