I am trying to upgrade to CocoaPods 1.2.1 but cannot uninstall CocoaPods 0.39.0.

I have reviewed numerous posts about this issue. Evidently 0.39.0 caused a lot of problems. I do not have enough reputation points to attach all the links I have reviewed but there are several StackOverFlow questions and GitHub Issues on the topic as v.0.39.0 evidently had some problems. Here are two of the many posts I reviewed:

STACKOVERFLOW QUESTIONS: Cocoa Pods need to completely re-install

COCOAPODS BLOG POST ABOUT SHARDING and v.0.39.0: http://blog.cocoapods.org/Sharding/

Here is my 'gem env' output:

RubyGems Environment:

And here is my 'gem list --local | grep cocoapods' output:

cocoapods (1.2.1)
cocoapods-core (1.2.1, 1.2.0, 0.39.0)
cocoapods-deintegrate (1.0.1)
cocoapods-downloader (1.1.3, 0.9.3)
cocoapods-plugins (1.0.0, 0.4.2)
cocoapods-search (1.0.0, 0.1.0)
cocoapods-stats (1.0.0, 0.6.2)
cocoapods-trunk (1.2.0, 0.6.4)
cocoapods-try (1.1.0, 0.5.1)

I have tried the following solutions:

1) "sudo gem uninstall cocoapods" then "sudo gem install cocoapods" and closed and reopened the terminal after each step

2) I modified my .bash_profile to make sure my echo $PATH includes the - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: from my gem env

3) Tried "gem pristine --all"

4) Made sure my home brew was up to date

5) Reinstalled rbenv

6) Tried various combinations of:

$ sudo rm -fr ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/
$ sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master/
$ sudo rm -fr Pods/

and then uninstalled and reinstalled cocoapods…

7) Manually applied “sudo gem uninstall” to each element in the output of my “gem list --local | grep cocoapods” and then … 

rm -rf ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
sudo gem install cocoapods

8) Tried $ sudo gem update cocoapods

9) I tried: sudo gem install cocoapods:1.2.1

but when I try 

pod _1.2.1_ version

or 

pod —version

it says 0.39.0

10) The output of “which pod” is: /usr/local/bin/pod

11) I cannot recall if the first time I tried “sudo gem uninstall cocoapods” it gave me the option of specifically uninstalling 0.39.0. I chose “All Versions” nevertheless

12) I tried “sudo chown -R "$(whoami)" /usr/local/Cellar/rbenv" to make sure it wasn’t a permissions issue

13) I am using Mac OS Sierra 10.12.5

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Help!?!

The solution to my problem was:

sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

This was the only way I could get rid of 0.39.0 and install the latest version of CocoaPods...

I found this solution and an explanation for why this was a problem at the following link:

https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/3736

Hooray!
