Unable to install Cocoapods in macOS Monterey Version 12.0 Beta - Xcode 13.0(13A233)
Solution 1
I had the same problem while working through a Udemy course. When I looked through the Q&A section there I found this little gem [no pun intended].
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods -v 1.8.4
This worked like a champ and installed with no issue.
But then I realized it was an outdated version and tried the
sudo gem install cocoapods
again. I still had the same problem.
Then I went with Homebrew and used
brew install cocoapods
Hey... what do you know, it works. Installed the latest and greatest stable version [v 1.11.2_1]
Solution 2
If you installed cococoapods with gem, uninstall it:
gem uninstall cocoapods
Then install it with homebrew
brew install cocoapods
It worked for me.
Solution 3
I have MacBook Pro with M1 chip and it worked by running the following commands
sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
cd ios
arch -x86_64 pod install
Solution 4
In my case this was caused because a older version of Xcode was being used for command line tools (Xcode 12.5.1). You can see which Xcode is being used by running this in Terminal:
$ xcode-select --print-path
macOS Monterey does not officially support Xcode versions older than 13.0 so I had to switch the Xcode version with:
$ sudo xcode-select -switch <path/to/Xcode13>Xcode.app
After switching the command line tools to Xcode 13 I was able to install CocoaPods successfully.

Shree Softech over 2 yearscocoapods -v 1.8.4 this worked but for some flutter projects with SDK 2.0 + , cocoapods version needs to be updated.

Shree Softech over 2 yearsThanks but issue is on Intel Chip and not M1 sir
-
Roman over 2 yearsThis solved my problem on M1 after updating to the Monterey system. Thanks

Matias Pequeno about 2 yearsThis fixed it for me, and I suspect this is the correct answer. This can also be set directly from Xcode's UI @ Preferences -> Locations -> Command Line Tools.
