A couple of days ago I upgrade my Mac to MacOS 15 Sequoia. But today when I try to install pod in one project I got an error related to cocoaPods and ruby
$ npx pod-install ios
Scanning for pods...

I have another project that works fine and I tried to remove the pod and reinstall. This project started to fail as well.
I check the react-native doctor command and I got this:

Try to fix the problem with it, but currently doesn’t work. The problem persist.

I tried a lot of things, but just removing cocoapods from brew works for me.
The error gives us a clue as to what it might be:
Try running the command it tells you right there, it turns out there is an incompatibility with the drb that Ruby supports:
Try command: gem install drb -v 2.0.6
