The error message is a compatibility issue between the Ruby installation and YAML dependencies. Try these steps:

brew install libyaml
brew install rbenv
Set up RBEnv in your shell by adding the following to your shell profile
```
if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi
```
Install the required Ruby version, rbenv install 2.6.8
Set the installed Ruby version as the global default. rbenv global 2.6.8
install bundler by running. gem install bundler
update your CocoaPods installation gem install cocoapods
Then run pod install again

What is "shell profile"? File *[.profile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)#Operating_system_issues_in_Bash_startup)*? File *[.bashrc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)#Legacy-compatible_Bash_startup_example)*? File *[.zshrc](https://wiki.debian.org/Zsh#Configuration)*? Something else? – Peter Mortensen Jun 24 '23 at 10:38

This approach worked with me on a MacBook Pro M1 system.

In Terminal:

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

rvm install ruby-2.7.2

sudo gem install cocoapods

Then restart the terminal:

pod init

It's working fine.
