[rudyjdr]

I have the same error when doing pod install

[rudyjdr]

do you have a MacBook Pro with a M1 processor? this fixed my issue:

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

[Milutin-P]

I have MBP M1 Pro. I saw @rudyjdr answer and I modified it a bit.

in regular terminal:
sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
then in the project root
cd ios && arch -x86_64 pod install && cd ../

I also had to delete Flipper lines in ios/Podfile to get the app running. (But that's probably not related to your problem)

[unnamedd]

To those lazy like me, an alias for the arch -x86_64. Add it in your ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

 # Intel Platform
alias intel="arch -x86_64"

How to use:

$ intel pod install

[dnkoutso]

We've grouped this issue related to M1 here https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/9907

[kenjichanhkg]

I tried this:
sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
arch -x86_64 pod install
but then I see different errors

[Brad19]

I'm also getting the same error as i've new macbook pro M1 chip a day back and i'm trying to set my repo and figuring it out to find the solution. Any advise is much appreciated and very helpful.

I ran this command "arch -x86_64 pod install" after setting the terminal as Rossetta and got the following errors.

[Brad19]

Found the solution:
After running the above command "arch -x86_64 pod install" and if it didn't work and gave the above error.

Please run the following in the terminal which will fix the issue.
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

[OmranK]

To those lazy like me, an alias for the arch -x86_64. Add it in your ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

 # Intel Platform
alias intel="arch -x86_64"

How to use:

$ intel pod install

Can you give more info on how to do this? I created a text file named .zshrc in my home directory and typed what you shared and saved it but when I run intel pod install I get the error that zsh common not found: intel

[OmranK]

I added ~/.zprofile instead and it worked

For those coming after and having the same problem as @OmranK, I forgot to mention that after add anything on those resource files, you need to restart the instance of your terminal or re-execute them, i.e:

$ source ~/.zshrc
