Since Mapbox 6.x you have to indicate credential to retrieve latest available pod version: https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/overview/#configure-credentials

You can add credential before pod install / pod update process and remove it after with this macos script for example:

echo "Generate credential for mapbox"
echo "machine api.mapbox.com" > ~/.netrc
echo "login mapbox" >> ~/.netrc
echo "password <INSERT API TOKEN>" >> ~/.netrc

To delete this entry later :

sed -i '' -e '/^machine api.mapbox.com$/{N;N;d;}' ~/.netrc

Then your token was probably missing the Downloads:Read option. – JTea Apr 22 '21 at 21:55

Looks like there is some issue in creating .netrc file. You can use next tips to create a .netrc file before Mapbox installation:

To create .netrc file do next

Fire up Terminal

cd ~ (go to the home directory)

touch .netrc (create file)

open .netrc (open .netrc)

Set required data.

Save

.netrc file should be like this

machine api.mapbox.com login mapbox password <secret_key_created_from_your_mapbox_account>

If you created .netrc file regarding this instruction, mapbox cocoapods should install.

https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/navigation/guides/install/

A secret access token with the Downloads:Read scope. From your account's tokens page, click the Create a token button. From the token creation page, give your token a name and make sure the box next to the Downloads:Read scope is checked. Click the Create token button at the bottom of the page to create your token. The token you've created is a secret token, which means you will only have one opportunity to copy it somewhere secure.
