CocoaPods not installed. Skipping pod install

Question

My app was working fine until I did 2 small changes.

1. On Target runner in Xcode I enabled bitcode for the project.
2. I update the Android studio to the latest version.

Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1 Build #AI-211.7628.21.2111.8092744, built on January 19, 2022 Runtime version: 11.0.11+0-b60-7590822 x86_64 VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o. macOS 12.0.1 GC: G1 Young Generation, G1 Old Generation Memory: 1280M Cores: 4 Registry: external.system.auto.import.disabled=true Non-Bundled Plugins: Dart (211.7798), org.jetbrains.kotlin (211-1.6.10-release-923-AS7442.40), io.flutter (63.2.2)

After that When I run my flutter app on iOS simulator I'm getting this error. Although I have disabled bitcode and tried again.I got same error. I installed and reinstalled cocapoads still same error. I don't know what causing this error. Can you help? please

Answer 1

UPD: Fixed in 2021.1.1 patch 1, see release notes here

This might happen because AndroidStudio doesn't know anything about $PATH provided in ~/.*rc files (.bashrc,.zshrc, etc.)

You can ensure by launching it from terminal:

open /Applications/Android\ Studio.app

EDIT: It's a confirmed bug in Bumblebee release

The workaround is to add missing flag:

chmod +x /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/bin/printenv

You have to do it only once

Answer 2

Open terminal run -> chmod +x /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/bin/printenv

Try again...And it should work.

Answer 3

I got an exception on the pod availability check.

which pod

It seems that $PATH env for the updated studio is not picked properly. (you can check it by enabling verbose logging mode on the flutter plugin).

Workaround is to start Android studio from the terminal:

open /Applications/Android\ Studio.app 

Updated: Android Studio Bumblebee (2021.1.1) Patch 1 fixes this issue.

Answer 4

I came across this problem too using Android studio on Apple Silicon MacBook launching from command line or directly both failed

I updated the ruby version to 2.7.3 using rbenv, and then it worked from the command line.

open /Applications/Android\ Studio.app

Note: default macOS system ruby is version is 2.6.8, and there are some incompatible gems with this version

Answer 5

If the top voted solution doesn't fix this for you with the Bumblebee release, then you can try the beta Chipmunk release of Android Studio.

I am running the M1 Mac and this version 2021.2.1 Beta 1 is able to run the flutter apps from the toolbar correctly.

Answer 6

I've searched all of solutions, and current post's answers do the trick. But basically it seems like flutter android studio(only lately-updated bumblebee version) plug-in triggers the pod error, since both xcode and android studio terminal run work just fine.

We might have to keep tracking this issue. Before flutter team gives a clear answer, i'm planning to use flutter run --debug, since terminal run provides "r" for hot reload and "R" for hot restart. Or we can also use open /Applications/Android\ Studio.app everytime.

Answer 7

I fixed it by running:

sudo gem install ffi

Answer 8

In my case i check $PATH variable and in this do not exist path to pod executable
