Xcode – flutter doctor not finding cocoa pods

I have an issue that tells me to install cocoapods using gem, but the flutter doctor couldn’t find it.

    ✗ CocoaPods installed but not working.
        You appear to have CocoaPods installed but it is not working.
        This can happen if the version of Ruby that CocoaPods was installed with is
        different from the one being used to invoke it.
        This can usually be fixed by re-installing CocoaPods. For more info, see
        https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14293.
      To re-install CocoaPods, run:
        sudo gem install cocoapods

Also gem list pod is giving an empty list but sudo gem list pod is giving this

    *** LOCAL GEMS ***

cocoapods (1.10.0)
cocoapods-core (1.10.0)
cocoapods-deintegrate (1.0.4)
cocoapods-downloader (1.4.0)
cocoapods-plugins (1.0.0)
cocoapods-search (1.0.0)
cocoapods-trunk (1.5.0)
cocoapods-try (1.2.0)

I am first time doing this stuff, need some help, what’s wrong?

EDIT: ruby -v gives this ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.x86_64-darwin20]

which ruby gives this – /usr/bin/ruby

    Try resolving issues one by one. First resolve xcode issue using

    sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

    After this
    run

    sudo gem install cocoapods

    ===

    If this not works give output of following commands. Also can you tell if brew is installed?

    $ruby -v

$ which ruby

    First try this ;

    sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods

    If it does not works for you.

    Try this :(It works for me in macos Bigsur M1)

    Check permission for the mentioned directory via:

    ls -l /home/raphael/flutter/

    If not, while being in the folder mentioned above, try to change permission on the folder via:

    chown -R YOUR_USERNAME flutter

    Run the first command again to verify that the apropriate user is now shown on the folder. Then try to create the project again.

    I found that I had to first update gem itself:

    sudo gem update --system

    Then uninstall and reinstall Cocoapods:

    sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

    sudo gem install cocoapods

    Only then would flutter doctor stop complaining that cocoapods was not installed.

    On Mac I installed cocoapods with command "brew install cocoapods" and solved the problem.
