I have got a new MacBook, and are trying to install some pods. I first did sudo gem install cocoapods on root, then did pod install in the directory I need the pods. Got this error, and have no clue what went wrong.

Solved by using homebrew
brew install cocoapods

    Make sure you don't have previously installed cocoapods with gem. If so - uninstall it first by typing sudo gem uninstall cocoapods. – user-123 Dec 26 '21 at 21:42
  • It did the trick for me, but only after removing cocoapods as a gem (?) https://superuser.com/questions/686317/how-to-fully-uninstall-the-cocoapods-from-the-mac-machine – iuliu.net Jan 27 '22 at 21:10

    For M1 Chip follow below URLs https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64963370/error-cannot-install-in-homebrew-on-arm-processor-in-intel-default-prefix-usr https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/652822 – Nisarg Thakkar Apr 22 '22 at 07:12
  • M2 Chip macbook here. Works! Glad I came across this post. Google should have specifically indicated what command to run if Apple chip or not – chitgoks Oct 04 '22 at 06:45

For those running on Apple Silicon, this has worked for me:

Uninstall with Ruby: sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

Then, install again with brew: brew install cocoapods

Try using Rosetta terminal

Locate Terminal.app in Finder. (Applications->Terminal.app)
Right-click and choose Get Info
Check the “Open using Rosetta”
Quit all instances of Terminal app and run it again
Run sudo gem install ffi
Run pod install

I had the same issue, but just had to close all instances of my terminal windows after installing cocoapods.

  • it did resolve my issue what is ffi – Khurram Iqbal Jan 27 '23 at 13:07
  • Ruby-FFI is a gem for programmatically loading dynamically-linked native libraries, binding functions within them, and calling those functions from Ruby code. Moreover, a Ruby-FFI extension works without changes on CRuby (MRI), JRuby, Rubinius and TruffleRuby. @KhurramIqbal – Emre Gürses Jan 27 '23 at 13:46

Closing all instances of Terminal, then re-opening terminal and running pod install in the relevant directory did the job for me :)
