This solution work like a charm for me. I had new mac book pro with M1 chip. Are you using an Macbook M1? Or an Intel Macbook? If you are using an Intel macbook ... $sudo gem install cocoapods move to your folder run pod init open your Podfile and add your targets Close Podfile type pod install type pod update Open MyPod.xcworkspace and start working if you are using M1 Mb do the same but start with Right click on Terminal Get Info -> Open with Rosetta Open terminal and type sudo gem install ffi Then do the steps above.

The easiest way I found to solve this problem for Silicon Chip Macbooks. Go into the project Build Settings Set "Build Active Architecture Only" as "Yes" for both Debug and Release options Clean the build folder (must) Run your project in Xcode and it will work.
