I recently updated the pods in my project after a long time and noticed that new pods had been released.

Unfortunately, I encountered issues updating the pods using my current Ruby version.

sudo gem install cocoapods

Reinstall

In an attempt to resolve this, I decided to perform a fresh reinstallation,

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

but this approach proved unsuccessful.

Upgrade Ruby

In an effort to troubleshoot, I considered upgrading my Ruby version. However, this proved to be a challenging task. I wondered if this issue was related to my macOS version. 🤔

brew install rbenv

rbenv install 2.7.4

WARNING: ruby-2.7.4 is past its end of life and is now unsupported.

It no longer receives bug fixes or critical security updates.

Brew

To address the problem, I opted for an alternative solution — I reinstalled the pods using Homebrew instead of the gem.

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

brew install cocoapods

This presented a new challenge as I encountered an error.

-bash: /usr/local/bin/pod: No such file or directory

Undeterred, I followed a helpful guide, and the error was resolved effortlessly.

brew link — overwrite cocoapods

I can now confirm that my pod version is the latest one!

pod — version

1.14.2

With this successful update, I no longer have to worry about Ruby-related concerns.
