You can try:
Depending on some aspects this might work for you, if you don’t mind using the "SUDO" command:

Seems after upgrading MacOS to v13, gem will use universal-darwin22 to compile files. If you check
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/include/ruby-2.6.0/
there is onlyuniversal-darwin21
available.So, the solution is simple, try to create a link for
universal-darwin22
then installffi
.On terminal:
More info: "ffi issue when running pod repo update or pod install on macOS Ventura #11627" – https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/11627#issuecomment-1294998876
P. S. You need to allow Terminal to modify apps in Settings.
