I've filed this ticket for the Boost project (assuming I'm right)

Curling the file also gives a different checksum

curl -sL https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.83.0/source/boost_1_83_0.tar.bz2 | shasum -a 256

5e89103d9b70bba5c91a794126b169cb67654be2051f90cf7c22ba6893ede0ff -

It was also asked here on SO.

Happening on my Mac and also on GitHub Actions

Ok, created a simple patch for this for RN 0.73.1, but everyone could do this for their version

1. Install patch-package:

   npm install --save-dev patch-package postinstall-postinstall

2. Modify boost.podspec:

change

# Copyright (c) Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates.
#
# This source code is licensed under the MIT license found in the
# LICENSE file in the root directory of this source tree.

Pod::Spec.new do |spec|
 spec.name = 'boost'
 spec.version = '1.83.0'
 spec.license = { :type => 'Boost Software License', :file => "LICENSE_1_0.txt" }
 spec.homepage = 'http://www.boost.org'
 spec.summary = 'Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.'
 spec.authors = 'Rene Rivera'
 spec.source = { :http => 'https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.83.0/source/boost_1_83_0.tar.bz2',
 :sha256 => '6478edfe2f3305127cffe8caf73ea0176c53769f4bf1585be237eb30798c3b8e' }

 # Pinning to the same version as React.podspec.
 spec.platforms = min_supported_versions
 spec.requires_arc = false

 spec.module_name = 'boost'
 spec.header_dir = 'boost'
 spec.preserve_path = 'boost'
end

# LICENSE file in the root directory of this source tree.

Pod::Spec.new do |spec|
 spec.name = 'boost'
 spec.version = '1.83.0'
 spec.license = { :type => 'Boost Software License', :file => "LICENSE_1_0.txt" }
 spec.homepage = 'http://www.boost.org'
 spec.summary = 'Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.'
 spec.authors = 'Rene Rivera'
 # Patched due to issue https://github.com/boostorg/boost/issues/843
 spec.source = { :http => 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.83.0/boost_1_83_0.tar.bz2',
 :sha256 => '6478edfe2f3305127cffe8caf73ea0176c53769f4bf1585be237eb30798c3b8e' }

 spec.platforms = min_supported_versions
 spec.requires_arc = false

 spec.module_name = 'boost'

end

3. Create a Patch:

   • Run npx patch-package react-native to create a patch file based on your changes. This command generates a patch file in a directory called patches/.

4. Apply the Patch Automatically:

   • Modify your package.json to apply the patch after installation. Add the following to your scripts section:

     "scripts": {
      "postinstall": "patch-package"
     }

   • Now, whenever you run npm install, patch-package will automatically apply the patch to the boost.podspec file.
