After updating Flutter 2, I can no longer deploy my application on IOS:

Skipping pod install.
  CocoaPods is used to retrieve the iOS and macOS platform side's plugin code
  that responds to your plugin usage on the Dart side.

What I have tried so far:

I have installed / uninstalled cocoapods several times but flutter does not seem to detect the latest version

Stale pod link - was pretty much what I figured. It sounds like you have multiple copies of ruby installed on your system, and the brew recipe for cocoapods embeds all the dependencies inside it's package, and as such does not use any of the custom gems installed on your system (such as the cocoapods installed using gem install)
