Failing to add pod file to Xcode 13 project

I am trying to add a pod file to my project but I consistently get this error in the terminal. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or is it because I already use Xcode 13 with iOS 15 beta? My Project is called AdMob testing because I wanted to use Cocoapods for Admob in case you wondered. Thanks.

myName@MacBook AdMob testing % pod init

    Don’t forget after changing Project Format you also need to update the xcodeproj with:

    sudo gem update xcodeproj
