Unable to run reader-sdk-react-native-quickstart : TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'configurations')

I am going through the following repository steps listed here: https://github.com/square/react-native-square-reader-sdk/tree/master/reader-sdk-react-native-quickstart and everything seems fine until I try to run ios:

Password/Key changed for security. I have seen some solutions online which require to modify the file to check if the array exists or not, but that sounds like a hacky solution to me.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
