Not able install Cocoapods when I tried with this npx react-native init ProjectName command and getting below error. (MacOS Mojave 10.14.4)

cocoapods-generate not installed when cocoapods installed via Homebrew?

I am using M2 Mac and using Kotlin Multiplatform and Flutter.
Since Cocopads from gem install cocoapads needs FFi and run along with arch -x86_64 , which is not possible when gradle scripts automatically running pod install by themselves,
I installed it via homebrew
But now the problem is, in order to use a pod library in gradle from a Kotlin Multiplatform project (inside Cocoapods { ... } ) , the gradle script is running pod gen, a utility from Cocoapods-Generate .
But the problem is, this Cocoapods-Generate not found in brew's cocoapods installation, because it is listed in Gem Repo only
So whats now happening now is,
If I install cocoapods via Gem , gradle building failed due to Arch mismatch problem. Whereas if I install via homebrew, cocoapods-generate not installed and pod gen command executed by gradle scripts failing.
So I can't find how to resolve this issue. Please help me.
I'm having similar issues. I think everybody's gratefully abandoning cocoapods in favour of Swift packages. There's a Kotlin SPM plugin, hopefully that makes KMM viable.

can't find gem cocoapods (>= 0.a) with executable pod (react-native pod install)

I just start a react-native project. However, this question had me for a day.
I tried all possible way to solve it. For example,
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
rvm uninstall
brew install cocoapods
However, there is no luck for me.
I would like to point out that I can pod --version under other path but issue occur when I try to pod under my project path. I also tried to set rvm default version to 2.7.5 but issue still happen.
Also, I am not using Apple M1

Try running bundle install in the root of your project. Then either go to ios and run pod install or use npx pod-install from the project root.
This issue is due to the difference in your default ruby version and ruby version specified in Gemfile . To install multiple ruby version you have to install rvm on your system and then install multiple rub versions. after install the ruby version specified in you gem file. you have to run the bundle install command . link
bundle install is a command we use to install the dependencies specified in your Gemfile.
Gemfile
Simply put, Gemfile is a format for describing gem dependencies for Ruby programs. Or you can say it contains the gems you need in this project.
After this you can install run npx pod-install or cd ios and pod install
Bundle install prior to pod install works.
To answer Bundle Install, what happens is, when generating react native project the configuration is set to default mac gem version. If you have updated gem version on your mac the project configuration could not pick the correct gem version. thats why it throws the can't find gem cocoapods.
by doing Bundle install, It will update the project config according to the mac gem version.
Remove cocoapods:
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
Then instal again:
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

mac os sierra pod install command failure

After moving to Mac OS Sierra, I'm facing problem to install cocoapods.
Every time I run sudo gem install cocoapods --pre every thing installed well, but while trying to install a pod, the terminal stack on Setting up CocoaPods master repo. Already updated the system with sudo gem update --system and still got the same issue, searched online to found old answers to use pod install --verbose Ss. I found in THIS answer fail again tells to install it manually.
NOTE: I have the latest version of 'Command Line Tools'. Any suggestion or how to install master repo manually?
Even when empty pod (i.e. without any pod name in it) is installed it gives
/Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:315:in `to_specs': Could not find 'cocoapods' (>= 0) among 66 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)

Follow the instruction given below. It may help you.
check pod version using command given below
pod --version
if there is any version installed remove it by using the command
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
restart your mac and reinstall again using the command
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
it will be security problem with mac os Sierra, i will try it and it will work for me . u can try it.
unable to load gem cocoa pods while creating repo

Undefined method 'install!'

I'm running CocoaPods 0.39.0, and I'm getting the following error when I run pod install:
[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: undefined method `install!' for #<Pod::Podfile:0x007fc3e993c510>.
Updating CocoaPods might fix the issue.
This is the line in my Podfile that is causing the error:
install! 'cocoapods', :deterministic_uuids => false
I tried running gem install cocoapods to update everything, just to make sure that wasn't the problem. It didn't help.
install! is listed as a valid command in the Cocoapods documentation. Is it not available in 0.39.0? Is the solution to update to the current beta?
After reviewing the CocoaPods documentation further, it does appear that the install! command is only available in the beta version. After running sudo gem install cocoapods --pre and then re-installing the pod, everything worked.

Cocoapods points to wrong version

I had some problems with one version of the project. I've found this answer where someone suggest steps to remove all cocoapods-connected stuff from the machine and reinstall it. I did follow the steps:
$ 'pod --version'
0.36.1
$ gem list --local | grep cocoapods
cocoapods (0.39.0.rc.1, 0.38.2, 0.38.1, 0.37.2)
cocoapods-core (0.39.0.rc.1, 0.38.2, 0.38.1, 0.37.2)
cocoapods-downloader (0.9.3, 0.9.1)
cocoapods-plugins (0.4.2)
cocoapods-search (0.1.0)
cocoapods-stats (0.6.2, 0.5.3)
cocoapods-trunk (0.6.4, 0.6.1)
cocoapods-try (0.5.1, 0.4.5)
$ gem uninstall cocoapods // and all others from the list above
The problem is that when i again grep all cocoapods, the list was equal to upper one, nothing disappeared.
$ sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
Select gem to uninstall:
1. cocoapods-0.37.2
2. cocoapods-0.38.1
3. cocoapods-0.38.2
4. cocoapods-0.39.0.rc.1
5. All versions
> 5
$ pod --version
// here was the error command not found, so everything fine
$ sudo gem install cocoapods
Fetching: cocoapods-0.38.2.gem (100%)
Successfully installed cocoapods-0.38.2
Parsing documentation for cocoapods-0.38.2
Installing ri documentation for cocoapods-0.38.2
Done installing documentation for cocoapods after 2 seconds
1 gem installed
$ pod --version
Could not find proper version of cocoapods (0.36.1) in any of the sources
Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.
But why does it want me to install 0.36.1? Anyway, as it asked, I did:
$bundle install
Installing cocoapods-core 0.36.1
Installing cocoapods-downloader 0.8.1
Installing cocoapods-plugins 0.4.1
Installing cocoapods-trunk 0.6.0
Installing cocoapods-try 0.4.3
Installing cocoapods 0.36.1
// Many "using" dependencies
So now when I run:
$ pod --version
0.36.1
And I'm stuck :) Why can't I have newest release version? Maybe pod --version points to the newest version of cocoapods-core instead of only cocoapods, so everything is ok and I have the correct version?
Check if you use Gemfile and there is specified the version of
cocoapods.
You can use specific version by pod *version* action. For example: pod _1.5.0.beta.1_ update or pod _1.5.0.beta.1_ install
For anyone coming to this in an attempt to update cocoapods. After doing all of the above I wasn't able to get this resolved. I then headed to the resolved answer and being unwilling to remove RVM, I tried to resolve this issue another way.
I found that my issue did indeed lie in my Gemfile.
First, run
gem install cocoapods to ensure you have the latest version, or whatever specified version you were looking for downloaded.
Second, ensure your projects Gemfile hasn't specified a cocoapods version number and instead simply specifies it as:
gem "cocoapods"
If yours doesn't, change this and run bundle update to regenerate the Gemfile.lock file and your problem should be solved. If not, go ahead and delete the Gemfile.lock file altogether and then run bundle update. You can easily check to see which gem version will be loaded by opening the Gemfile.lock file and searching for cocoapods-core <version number here>
At this point, you can go into your project and run
pod setup
and then check the cocoapods version with
pod --version
and now FINALLY you are free to run
pod install
to replace the Podfile.lock file and get back to your happy dev life. Hope that helps someone and saves them from burning hours.
It seems something got messed up in my ruby version. I still have no idea what and why. I've managed to fix it via this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25021772/849616. After it everything works correctly.
You might face this issue when it comes migrating to a higher Swift version. Assuming that you already have cocoapods installed, you probably need to run bundle update command (possibly with sudo).
For more details, you could check: https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/a-gemfile.html
Additionally, I'd suggest to do the following:
Install the latest Xcode version.
Clear derived data (not just clean project) in your project.
Run pod update command.
I have the same problem.
In my project, pod --version and gem which cocoapods always return diffrence version.
All I had to do is remove Gemfile.lock in my project and bundle install again. It removed the locked cocoapods version and install a new one.
Hope that helps some one here.
I ran pod install and I've got this error:
Could not find proper version of cocoapods (1.11.3) in any of the sources
and I ran:
bundle install
after that pod install worked properly
