Xcode – Error installing a pod – Bus Error at 0x00000001045b8000

I’m just learning to use cocoapods and am encountering an error when trying to install a pod.

Top of error:

/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.15.3/lib/ffi/library.rb:275: [BUG] Bus Error at 0x00000001045b8000
ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.arm64e-darwin20]

Bottom of error:

zsh: abort pod install

Have tried the following, as suggested on some threads here and GitHub:

  • Uninstalling and re-installing cocoapod
  • sudo gem install xcodeproj
  • sudo gem update

but nothing seems to be working; the error persists and the .xcworkspace file doesn’t appear.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    I came across someone having this issue a while ago and I believe one of the suggestions made was to try the following:

    install gem using

    sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

    and then run this

    arch -x86_64 pod install

    it might work, it might not, I’m not too sure.
    This is because from the arm64 part of your error message I assume you have an M1 Mac. Either way it’s probably worth a try.

    If the other solution (sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi) does not work for you, try the following one instead:

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

    After that, run pod install or whatever you were trying to do again, but without prefixing it with arch -x86_64.

    It worked for me without issues and this way I could also avoid going the Intel emulation (Rosetta 2) way.

    I find this solution in an issue filed on the ffi github project.

    Reinstalling CocoaPods with brew and removing ffi gem solved the issue for me.

    sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem uninstall ffi
brew install cocoapods
pod install
