Cannot install Cocoapods into app when typing "pod install" (ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.)

I am using OSX Yoemite and I have visited almost all questions about this on StackOverflow and none of the answers worked... I am currently trying to use the command "pod install" and I am getting this error:

And it also says: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

OK, I know I'm late to the party here, but here's some info for future generations in case they hit the same issue as me.

The problem I hit was due to my project directory being created by another user (and so I didn't have permission to do mkdir). Updating permissions (or in my case, re-creating the project directory using my user account) fixed the issue.

Hope this helps! :)

Try this (Worked for me with OSX 10.10)

  1. Open Xcode 6
  2. Open Preferences
  3. Click the Locations tab
  4. Change the Command Line Tools version to Xcode 6.0

  5. Uninstall cocoapods

    $ sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

  6. Install xcodeproj

    $ sudo gem install xcodeproj

  7. Install cocoapods

    $ sudo gem install cocoapods

Run pod --version to verify
