I have an error trying to install CocoaPods for flutter iOS development on an Intel MacBook Pro running with macOS Ventura(13.0).

Someone now how I can fix this error issue ?

sudo gem install cocoapods

(This is the error that I've, is it because I'm running on macOS 13.0 or do you think I can fix it ?)

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
