Flutter Cocoapods Mac M1 Install Error - Flutter Set Up

Question

I am not able to run a flutter app that has CocoaPods on my Mac M1 computer.

Flutter run:

Warning: CocoaPods is installed but broken. Skipping pod install. You appear to have CocoaPods installed but it is not working. This can happen if the version of Ruby that CocoaPods was installed with is different from the one being used to invoke it. This can usually be fixed by re-installing CocoaPods. To re-install see https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html#installation for instructions. ruby -v

ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.arm64e-darwin20]

UPDATE: I updated the ruby version with home-brew but it still gives the same error:

ruby -v ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [x86_64-darwin20]

Update 2.0 I tried installing CocoaPods with homebrew

brew install cocoapods --build-from-source then: brew link --overwrite cocoapods

flutter clean... Restarting Android Studio ...

And same error!

Update 3.0 Combination of new Ruby 3.1.2p20 with ffi

brew unlink cocoapods

brew uninstall cocoapods

Try_ing this: https://medium.com/p-society/cocoapods-on-apple-silicon-m1-computers-86e05aa10d3e_

Opening terminal using Rosetta

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

sudo gem install CocoaPods

--> Says that CocoaPods are not installed

So I try this approach:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/66842555/18936943

1- arch -x86_64 sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin

2- arch -x86_64 sudo gem install ffi

3- pod install

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/cocoapods-1.11.3/lib/cocoapods/command.rb:128:in `git_version': Failed to extract git version from `git --version` ("") (RuntimeError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/cocoapods-1.11.3/lib/cocoapods/command.rb:140:in `verify_minimum_git_version!'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/cocoapods-1.11.3/lib/cocoapods/command.rb:49:in `run'

        from /usr/local/bin/pod:25:in `load'
        from /usr/local/bin/pod:25:in `<main>'

STILL NO SOLUTION...

Update 6.0 Git related?

Referring to this post: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/8661

I installed git with homebrew just in case CocoaPods don't work because of the git version.

Before:

git --version
git version 2.32.0 (Apple Git-132)

1.) Install git by home-brew

After:

brew install git

git --version

git version 2.36.0

2.) change Path variables to:

zshrc File:

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/timknogel/FlutterDev/flutter/bin

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

export PATHTWO="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"

export PATHTHREE=/usr/local/bin

The last one is supposed to point to the git version, but I am unsure if I did it the right way... I have no idea about this path variables...

when I write

git --version I get back:
git version 2.36.0

So the terminal can consult the gitversion. Why can flutter not? I don't understand much about the PATH (es). But I am not sure if it's really related anyways, because I don't have the GIT name issue that is mentioned in the post.

3.) I tried to downgrade Cocapods to 1.10.2 but it still doesn't work.

Can somebody please help me out?

Try with `sudo gem install ffi`. Not sure if this is the full solution or not. — Timo Bähr, May 13 '22 at 13:57
Hey! No, already tried this and didn't work. Right now it looks like the git version and CocoaPods don't like each other, but I have no idea how to fix that. — Sport Apps Barcelona, May 13 '22 at 17:54
Yes, by completely recreating the project from scratch. It was the only way. So I guess in the end it was project related and all the error logs flutter and cocoa pods gave me where... not good — Sport Apps Barcelona, Jul 16 '22 at 17:27
