pod install fails with "cannot load such file -- xcodeproj"

I recently updated to ruby v 2.6 After upgrading I'm facing issue installing pods with the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have tried sudo gem install cocoapods but with no help.

Anyone facing similar issue and found a solution?

I was facing it when I was installing Flutter Firebase CLI from a YouTube Video, It is solved in that video and it is simple

sudo gem install xcodeproj

The problem I had with this error was that my computer had outdated ruby, which was updated with a ruby version manager (rbenv) by running the following commands:

rbenv install 3.2.0

rbenv global 3.2.0

Once ruby was updated to the most recent version, my computer still had the problem and the problem was that it had an older version, this was because of the permissions that rbenv did not have and the PC continued using the old version, for this I applied the command

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.rbenv

and reinstalled again by running the commands:

gem install ffi

gem install cocoapods

After this all the problems were solved.

Only this worked for me:

sudo gem install cocoapods --user-install

Seems like you need install gem xcodeproj, run in terminal :

gem install xcodeproj

This happened to me when after doing a tns migrate on NativeScript 6.5, and I had been building fine before the command was run.

I fixed this by running tns doctor which said my cocoapods install was missing. So the tns doctor went into reinstall mode automatically to try and fix the problem, and I let it reinstall cocoapods and xcodeproj.
