The following worked for me:

Select Command Line Tools in XCode.

    XCode > Preferences > Locations > Command Line Tools > XCode 11.X.X

In terminal execute:

Same issue I was facing when I updated our system from Sierra to Mojave. Also works for Catalina

The following steps worked:

sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

I got the help from the following link.

Answer 3

While I'm trying to install again then I got another error saying that

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError) You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0 directory.

Then I did this and worked fine.

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

sudo gem install cocoapods

Answer 4

Fixed with

brew upgrade cocoapods

Answer 5

After upgraded to High Sierra, I got the same error, just reinstalled the cocoapods

sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

Answer 6

This happened when I upgraded to Catalina. I solved it by running:

sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin ruby
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
