Answer 1

M1 is compatible to arm, so when performing arch related commands, it is operated under arm64. so an architecture will be set to x86_64 to install ffi.

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

M1 should indicates x86_64 when installing pod on M1 Macbook, cause to be synchronize on an architecture.

arch -x86_64 pod install

Answer 2

follow steps

1. remove the pod

   $ sudo gem install cocoapods-deintegrate cocoapods-clean

   $ pod deintegrate

   $ pod cache clean --all

   $ rm Podfile

2.Install pod

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

Answer 3

If using M1 and don't want to enter arch -x86-64 everytime, you can use this command to install ffi instead:

gem install --user-install ffi -- --enable-libffi-alloc

And then it should be able to run pod install without it. Using sudo might be needed.

Answer 4

Open applications folder and find Terminal in Utilities folder and right click on it and select get info and check Open Using Rosetta

Then follow the regular intel cocoapod installation it will work.
