can't install realm with CocoaPods

Question

I did pod init and wrote RealmSwift in Podfile.

I'm using Swift5, Xcode 11.3.1, cocoaPod 1.9.1, ruby 2.3.0

 # Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
 platform :ios, '13.0'

 target 'project' do
   # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
   use_frameworks!

   # Pods for project
   pod 'RealmSwift'

   target 'projectTests' do
     inherit! :search_paths
     # Pods for testing
   end

   target 'projectUITests' do
     # Pods for testing
   end

end

I got JSON parserError like this

JSON::ParserError - A JSON text must at least contain two octets!

What should I do to fix the ParseError? And I could install SwiftDate. I can't install only RealmSwift.

follow these

• rm -rf "${HOME}/Library/Caches/CocoaPods"
• rm -rf "pwd/Pods/"
• pod update

Please backup the respective directories before running "rm" commands

If not work, delete Podfile.lock and run rm commands then run pod init and pod install
