Cron tabs cannot find proper Ruby version via Whenever gem

I wanted to set a cron tab which would execute a task located in my Rails app. In my config/schedule.rb:

every 2.minutes do
  #do something
end

Despite putting this task successfully into my cron jobs list it never gets executed. When I try to manually launch the script saved in my cron jobs list, that is:

/bin/bash -l -c 'cd /Users/me/Desktop/railsapp && RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake reports:fetch --silent'

I get error about wrong Ruby version:

Your Ruby version is 2.6.3, but your Gemfile specified 2.6.6

I use rbenv and both my local and global versions are set to 2.6.6. Furthermore version 2.6.3 is not even present on the list of available ones.

How can I change this version to proper one and make my cron jobs executable?

I am getting same errors on Pro M1. My app ruby version is 3.1.2, default MAC system verison is 2.6.8 I have add to ~/.bash_profile file this content:

export RBENV_ROOT="${HOME}/.rbenv"

if [ -d "${RBENV_ROOT}" ]; then
  export PATH="${RBENV_ROOT}/bin:${PATH}"
  eval "$(rbenv init -)"
fi

And then run . ~/.bash_profile.

Add this line to schedule.rb: env :PATH, ENV["PATH"]
=> Don't forget update crontab with: whenever --update-crontab --set environment='development'

Crontab is working with rbenv.
