I Uninstall and install RUBY and COCOPODS again. and now below is the error :

/Library/Ruby/Site/2.6.0/rubygems.rb:265:in `find_spec_for_exe': can't find gem cocoapods (>= 0.a) with executable pod (Gem::GemNotFoundException)

    from /usr/local/bin/pod:23:in `<main>'

It's possible you have two different Rubies installed, one via Home Brew, and the one Apple installs for their own use in `/Library/Ruby`. Try `which ruby` from the terminal. I recommend _NOT_ using Brew for a development environment, instead I use rbenv, but YMMV. — the Tin Man, Feb 26 '22 at 21:37

I solved this by removing cocoapod and installing it again

gem cleanup
brew uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin
sudo gem install cocoapods-user-defined-build-types
pod install --repo-update

Try deleting your yarn.lock or package.lock file. hopefully, that works.

if that doesn't work, try rvm install ruby-3.1.1 rvm --default use ruby-3.1.1

I was having this same issue when running pod install, NOT during the installation of Cocoapods. This GitHub comment helped me solve it. I was using ruby 3.0.0. I installed 3.0.3, followed by Cocoapods, and then pod install started working.

I ran into the same error. I'm using rvm (RubyVersionManager). Make sure that you're using the same version of Ruby as when you first ran the install. If you're running the install for the first time, make sure that you're not using the system version of Ruby (It's a very old version).

In my case, I was trying to run pod install on version 3.0.0, but I should've been running it on 3.1.2, changing my version fixed the issue.

I had similar issue while setting up react native cli on mac M1 solution which worked for me

gem cleanup
brew uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin
sudo gem install cocoapods-user-defined-build-types

then check the pod version by running

pod --version

Cocoa-pods Install in M1

I use HomeBrew https://brew.sh/

Here how its works.

Copy & Run this command in terminal

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

If you get any warning like(Warning: /opt/homebrew/bin is not in your PATH. Instructions on how to configure your shell for Homebrew can be found in the 'Next steps' section below.) then please ignore these two commands.

echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/shourob.datta/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

Now Install Cocoapods

brew install cocoapods

Now Install pods, locate the project

Pod install

DONE
