Running Cocoapods on Apple Silicon (M1)

问题

I have a Flutter project that I'm trying to run on iOS. It does normally on my Intel-based mac, but on my new Silicon-based mac running on M1 it fails to install pods.

Based on a Github workaround, I tried to run Terminal using rosetta, but the issue remains the same: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/9907#issuecomment-655870749

Realising it's still early for Macs with Apple Silicon. Is there a way to make this work for the time being?

Thanks.

回答1:

EDIT: I recently disabled Rosetta, and Cocoapods runs just fine with the addition of the ffi gem.

For anyone else struggling with this issue, I just found a way to solve it. In addition to running terminal in Rosetta:

Right-click on Terminal in Finder
Get Info
Open with Rosetta

I installed a gem that seems to be related to the symbol not found in the error:

sudo gem install ffi

After doing this, cocoapods runs as expected.

回答2:

to install completely cocoapods on Mac with M1 chip (Apple Silicon), please follow those steps:

Duplicate the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.
Right click on the app and choose Get Info.
Rename the other version of the app as you like.
Check the option "open with Rosetta".
Install Cocoapods with the command "sudo gem install cocoapods"
Type the command line "gem install ffi" to fix the ffi bundle problem. Now you can do a "pod install" without problem.

Updated on 2021 January

# Install ffi
sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

# Re-install dependency
arch -x86_64 pod install

回答4:

An alternative to running Terminal in Rosetta 2 is to set the architecture with arch -x86_64, as in the following:

arch -x86_64 sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin

To give credit where it is due, I found this solution here

MacPorts bug tracker, issue #61545, comment 7

回答5:

Try $ sudo gem install ffi. It works fine for me.

回答6:

I've been having the same issue. I did find that the cocoa pods UI app seems to work as expected.

回答7:

this is what i got when trying to instal ffi in native terminal:

Fetching ffi-1.13.1.gem
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing ffi:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    current directory: /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.13.1/ext/ffi_c

switching to Rosetta enabled terminal, installing "gem install cocoapods" fails on

You don't have write permissions for the /usr/bin directory.

but then installation of ffi was successful...

Finally solved it with

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

If you are on an older project that needs to be ported over don't forget to update the project.pbxproj files in your Runner.xcodeproj and Pods.xcodeproj.

The IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET probably is still pointed towards 8.0

Update all occurrences as follows:
