Pod install not working in react-native mac os catalina 10.15

Question

Error: System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

in mac os catalina

Maybe try using the cocoapods installed through homebrew. It works for me. — Snowfish, Nov 12 '19 at 18:07
This is not specific to react native, but just the MacOS catalina 10.15 update breaks cocoa pods in this way — auspicious99, Dec 05 '20 at 10:26

You can fix it by running

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

This worked for me. But after running the command Need to set command line tools under locations in Xcode preferences. – Gurjinder Singh Nov 25 '19 at 06:01
@GurjinderSingh could you please expand what you mean by setting command tools in Xcode preferences? – png Dec 07 '19 at 00:20
@Solvitieg Go to XCode preferences->Locations Tab->Command Line Tools(If blank) Choose your current XCodeVer from dropdown. – Gurjinder Singh Dec 07 '19 at 06:44

This solved the issue for me which appeared after migrating to MacOS 10.15.5 and xcode 11.5. Thanks! – Olivier Jun 04 '20 at 17:51

Works like a Charm – elporfirio Jan 14 '21 at 18:38
Had to first run brew cleanup -d -v then followed by the brew install cocoapods --build-from-source then brew link --overwrite cocoapods then it worked – cherucole Feb 01 '21 at 21:15

This solution worked for me.

1) Go to Xcode preferences -> Locations 'tab'. See image for Locations 'tab'.

2) Check the Command Line Tools section. If it's blank, make sure your current command line tools is selected. See image for Command Line Tools Section.

3) Run sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

It worked like a charm for me. Hope it does for someone else too. Happy coding!

None of the suggestions worked for me. The issue could only be resolved by adding the correct Ruby path in the profile such as:

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/bin/:$PATH"

I solved it like this

2) rm -r repos

3) sudo gem install cocoapods

4) pod install

unfortunately, did not work for me. The `sudo gem install cocoapods` still shows the same ruby error. – iKK Apr 06 '20 at 07:28
First uninstall the all gem and pod tools and then try the above commands. – Mujahed Ansari Apr 07 '20 at 09:35
