    I had this same error a number of times in the past, and once right after I upgraded to Flutter 2.0.1 just now. The solution for me was always to run (as previously suggested):
    sudo gem install cocoapods then restart my IDE. I use Android Studio, but same should apply to VSCode as well.

    In my case I had to reinstall cocoa pods but additionally I had to reinstall my Visual Studio Code IDE.

    Restarting VSCode usually fixes the problem, but make sure to close it completely – Cmd+Q on macOS.

    Another thing worth trying is cleaning XCode workspace, this can be done via flutter clean command.

    For me none of these was helpful,
    The workaround was opening the Android studio using Terminal rather than GUI

    open /Applications/Android Studio.app

    After that, I can use GUI and there was no problem :)!

    I ran into this problem on Android Studio 4.1.3. Updating to Bumblebee 2021.1.1 Patch 3 solved it for me.

    run this command :

    sudo gem install ffi

    if on running flutter doctor, it still says cocoapods not installed then run this command

    sudo gem install cocoapods

    This answer will help if anyone is still facing the issue.

    If your are not an admin user for your machine, there are possibilities were you will get this error, as you will not able to run SUDO command.
    If in that case install Cocoapods using

    gem install cocoapods --user-install

    And then get the exact location using

    gem which cocoapods

    Once after that based on the shell your using, EX: zsh or bash, Please add the path to the respective support file.

    In my case I have added the path (export PATH="/Users/yourName/.gem/ruby/2.6.0/bin:$PATH") in .zshrc file.

    For MAC:
    brew install cocoapods
    and then navigate to ios and execute ‘pod install’.
    Exit VS Code and Open and run flutter run.
