The is a pod which has non ASCII characters in the path. Can you isolate it doing a binary search (using comments in the Podfile)?

[judges]

Tried all. It did not help.
Have a suspicion that the problem is that the project has been renamed.

[fabiopelosin]

Can you post the path of the directory where the Podfile is located?

[fabiopelosin]

Closing until more information will be provided.

Here is a solution:
add export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc

[akhildave]

@alexeyshurygin your solution worked for me. I added it to ~/.bash_profile at the end. My ruby version is 2.2.2. Thanks

[alexrothenberg]

I think you meant to thank @alexeyshurygin :)
