Capacitor iOS sync fail with ionic - ios

Question

I'm trying to generate a bundle for iOS but pods throw me this error.
I'm 95% sure that it's a problem with plugins but I can't solve.
I tried to reinstall pods, recreate capacitor ios.
I'm doing it on mac, with new m1's

Answer 1

The ffi gem doesnt seem to support the M1 chip yet.
Uninstall cocoapods from brew and then try running the terminal in rosetta mode. Right click terminal, get info run in rosetta. Then install the ffi gem from there by typing:
sudo gem install ffi
then go ahead and install cocoapods with
sudo gem install cocoapods
and finally
pod install
After that you can return your terminal to native, or you can duplicate the application and keep one native and one in rosetta mode.
