Answer 1

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods sudo gem install cocoapods pod setup

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

rvm install ruby-2.7.2 rvm use ruby-2.7.2 --default

gem install cocoapods pod setup

flutter clean flutter pub get

cd ios pod install --repo-update cd ..

Rerunning the Application After completely closing and reopening Visual Studio Code and Xcode, running the project again

I applied these and my problem was solved.

Answer 2

I was having similar issues with cocoapods, tried installing and uninstalling, ruby and cocoapods nothing worked as the path(executable) was not resolved, this command solved my issue

sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

Answer 3

I fixed it by reinstalling the flutter extension on visual code and restarting the ide.

Answer 4

Run the commands in that order in terminal.

cd /opt/homebrew/bin/

PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin

cd

touch .zshrc

echo export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin >> .zshrc

then brew install cocoapods Don't forget to restart your IDE.

Answer 5

For MAC: brew install cocoapods and then navigate to ios and execute 'pod install'. Exit VS Code and Open and run flutter run.

Answer 6

This answer will help if anyone is still facing the issue.

If your are not an admin user for your machine, there are possibilities were you will get this error, as you will not able to run SUDO command. If in that case install Cocoapods using

gem install cocoapods --user-install

And then get the exact location using

gem which cocoapods

Once after that based on the shell your using, EX: zsh or bash, Please add the path to the respective support file.

In my case I have added the path (export PATH="/Users/yourName/.gem/ruby/2.6.0/bin:$PATH") in .zshrc file.

Answer 7

run this command :

sudo gem install ffi

if on running flutter doctor, it still says cocoapods not installed then run this command

sudo gem install cocoapods

Answer 8

I ran into this problem on Android Studio 4.1.3. Updating to Bumblebee 2021.1.1 Patch 3 solved it for me.

Answer 9

For me none of these was helpful, The workaround was opening the Android studio using Terminal rather than GUI

open /Applications/Android\ Studio.app

After that, I can use GUI and there was no problem :)!

Answer 10

Restarting VSCode usually fixes the problem, but make sure to close it completely - Cmd+Q on macOS.

Another thing worth trying is cleaning XCode workspace, this can be done via flutter clean command.

Answer 11

The only command who work for me is this one :

brew install cocoapods

Answer 12

In my case I had to reinstall cocoa pods but additionally I had to reinstall my Visual Studio Code IDE.

Answer 13

if you use Android Studio try restoring the cache in

file -> invalidate cache/restart

Answer 14

I had this same error a number of times in the past, and once right after I upgraded to Flutter 2.0.1 just now. The solution for me was always to run (as previously suggested): sudo gem install cocoapods then restart my IDE. I use Android Studio, but same should apply to VSCode as well.

Answer 15

You can try: sudo gem install cocoapods
