Unity build error: Error running cocoapods

After adding Firebase SDK and trying to build for iOS I get this error in Unity when building:

"Error running cocoapods. Please ensure you have at least version 1.0.0. You can install cocoapods with the Ruby gem package manager:
> sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
> pod setup

'pod --version' returned status: 127"

But I do have cocoapods installed. I gem installed (as sudo and not as sudo), and when I run pod --version I get:
1.2.0

Any ideas why this is happening?

 

Any ideas on this? Still stuck here.

 

I am also having this problem. A Firebase SDK engineer is responding to us in this thread on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41132154/google-firebase-build-error-for-ios-from-unity/

 

@matthewbrand did you find a solution?

 

In my case, I was using Xcode beta, so I just needed to run the command:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/

 

I was sad to run into this error today -- and find no solution on this thread, or other links. I went to /usr/local/bin, like everyone else, typed pod --version and saw a healthy 1.7.5 ... and scratched my head.

I managed to get a fix (no compiler error any more! and the .xcworkspace file I need to set up ARCore - https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/unity/quickstart-ios - is being generated!).

What I observed is that if I type `which pod`, i see `~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.6.3/bin/pod`... not the `/usr/local/bin/pod` I would expect.... The thing in `/usr/local/bin` didn't seem to be a symlink or hard link, but apparently a different version of the `pod` executable, with the exact same response to `./pod --version`

I fixed the problem going to `/user/local/bin/`, doing a 'mv pod pod-old' and then `ln -s ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.6.3/bin/pod pod` ... after which I could compile without errors and now I get my .xcworkspace file. I have no idea why this works, but pass it along in the hopes that someone else may be helped.

 

My case is the same as samuelmorais. I installed the corresponding xcode command tool and use xcode-select to switch to it, and the error is gone.

 

Hey, I'm running errors with cocopods while attempting to build xcode project to our game. Could you please help and let me know what to do?
unity 2018.3.6.f1
macOS Catalina ver. 10.15.1
xcode Version 11.3


error 1:

error 2:

 

@mrsiwak @matthewbrand Change target minimum ios version to 9.0

 

The problem is outside Unity. You need to run terminal.app in macOS and enter this commands:
> sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
> pod setup

 

@GameSpire - This answer solved my issue

 

@GameSpire i didn't solve my error. i run the commands to install cocoapods via terminal. i got different error in terminal after giving my mac password:

Error:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Same error for me.

Running this changes nothing.
> sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
> pod setup

pod --version returns my installed version just fine.

@paleoAR answer also did not resolved my problem.

 

I'm with tiagotrigger, no change here, proper xcode CLT installed and selected.
