I Uninstall and install RUBY and COCOPODS again. and now below is the error :

/Library/Ruby/Site/2.6.0/rubygems.rb:265:in `find_spec_for_exe': can't find gem cocoapods (>= 0.a) with executable pod (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    from /Library/Ruby/Site/2.6.0/rubygems.rb:284:in `activate_bin_path'
    from /usr/local/bin/pod:23:in `<main>'

Answer 1

I solved this by removing cocoapod and installing it again

gem cleanup
brew uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin
sudo gem install cocoapods-user-defined-build-types
pod install --repo-update

Answer 2

Try deleting your yarn.lock or package.lock file. hopefully, that works.

if that doesn't work, try rvm install ruby-3.1.1 rvm --default use ruby-3.1.1

Answer 3

Cocoa-pods Install in M1

I use HomeBrew https://brew.sh/

Here how its works.

Copy & Run this command in terminal

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

If you get any warning like(Warning: /opt/homebrew/bin is not in your PATH. Instructions on how to configure your shell for Homebrew can be found in the 'Next steps' section below.) then please ignore these two commands.

echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/shourob.datta/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

Now Install Cocoapods

brew install cocoapods

Now Install pods, locate the project

Pod install

DONE

Answer 4

I was having this same issue when running pod install, NOT during the installation of Cocoapods. This GitHub comment helped me solve it. I was using ruby 3.0.0. I installed 3.0.3, followed by Cocoapods, and then pod install started working.
