Error running pod install: How to solve this problem? - ios

Question

I've searched a lot but unfortunately I didn't find a solution.
For my flutter project I added the Firebase plug in in the pubspec.yaml file and since then I wasn't able to run the project on my iPhone anymore.
It says: Exception: Error running pod install
What I tried so far:
deleting the podfile and run pod install --repo-update but it didn't work.
Can someone PLEASE help me? Thank you so much!
This is what my terminal shows when I try to run the project:
lib/main.dart:1
Automatically signing iOS for device deployment using specified development team in Xcode project: 7F67C53MP2

Exception: Error running pod install
Exited (sigterm)

Answer 1

On M1 macs, this is a known issue. Here's what you should do.
Run this command (need to be run only first time)
sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
Install your pods like this.
arch -x86_64 pod install
Going forward, you need to run only the second command for pod install.
Source 1 : Got error while trying pod install #10220
Source 2 : pod install /w m1 macbook #10518

Answer 2

If you don't want to have to remember to include arch -x86_64 every time you run pod install, I found an alternative answer in Apple's forums that worked for me:
Uninstall CocoaPods (if installed by gem)
$ [sudo] gem uninstall cocoapods # use sudo if cocoapods was installed using sudo
Install CocoaPods using Homebrew
$ brew install cocoapods
Install pods using the normal command!
$ pod install
Installing pods worked like a charm with the Homebrew version of CocoaPods!
This answer may not be for everyone; CocoaPods' site doesn't officially recommend using Homebrew to install, and not everyone uses Homebrew. But I like Homebrew, and I found this a lot easier than having to change my command for installing pods. Credit to treekie_ for this answer originally, but sharing here in case others find this first.

Answer 3

run this code on the terminal
sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
Next, go to the ios folder in your project, and open Podfile.
if there is a code like below:
#platform :ios, '9.0'
remove the # character and change the 9.0 to 10.0, and the final code should be as this
platform :ios, '10.0'
