After I make research about this topic I found several solutions but still my problem is not solved.

I already tried to install

sudo gem install ffi

and then tried pod install again. Still getting same error.

After that according to my research some people said to use terminal with rosetta or the another way to rosetta,

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
arch -x86_64 pod install

with these Intel based installation try I'm getting below error:

Did somebody faced with this problem? What I'm doing wrong or what I need to do to run my project?

Answer 1

I realized that homebrew installation messed up cocoapods.

Simply, I uninstalled homebrew and start from beginning. Then it worked.
