Xcode – Unity build iOS framework addition failed due to a CocoaPods installation failure

I never had this problem before.
I haven’t built anything in about half a year, i used firebase the same way before and build worked good in unity and Xcode too.

Now I try make new app and if I add Firebase (newest version) then I can’t build.
But i used firebase for a long time and it worked properly last year..

iOS framework addition failed due to a CocoaPods installation failure. This will will likely result in an non-functional Xcode project.

After the failure, "pod repo update" was executed and succeeded. "pod install" was then attempted again, and still failed. This may be due to a broken CocoaPods installation. See: https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/troubleshooting.html for potential solutions.

pod install output:

I never install cocoa pods but it worked before.
Okey, I try search problem in google, I tried
$ gem uninstall cocoapods
$ gem install cocoapods

Uninstall good, but install error:

Okey, I try find solution in google.
I try this:
brew cleanup -d -v

result:
-bash: brew: command not found

So.. I don’t know what is cocoa pods what is brew or etc., i will delete everything and reinstall it.
Before I only install unity and Xcode, I added firebase to unity project and I’ve never had a problem with this before..

What is the problem now?
And what is the solution?
I think I don’t need what I’m doing because I haven’t needed it before..

I don’t understand why i have to install cocoa pods and brew and etc. that have never been needed before. (I think installed automatically with Xcode or unity, I don’t remember I used terminal ever.. I used terminal only for firebase functions..)

Thanks,
Adrian

Edit:
I tried to open my old game (which has never been a this problem). I think maybe problem with new version Firebase and that older version maybe good. But an error message appeared immediately when I open.. maybe when I tried uninstall cocoa pods..

Edit 08 Jun 18:12:

I tried install cocoa pods again, succesfully installed 1.8.4.

I read this:

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

sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods -v 1.8.4

Latest CocoaPods 1.10.0 won’t work.

I find it here: apple developer forum

Okey I have 1.8.4.

But "[!] FirebaseAnalytics requires CocoaPods version >= 1.10.0, which is not satisfied by your current version, 1.8.4."

So I try many solution what I find in google.

• I installed home-brew
  (for install home-brew I installed Xcode developer tools in terminal, and tried many possible solution, example sudo gem update, sudo brew update, gem install, sudo gem install cocoapods, so everything..)

not working.
I can’t update cocoa pods.

I tried this:
gem install cocoapods -v 1.10.1
(because that is need for firebase.)

nothing.
I uninstall whole Xcode and reinstall. maybe.
nothing.

So.
One question.

I can’t install cocoapods new version in macOS Big Sur 11.6.6?
(This is my last update in my 2014 Mid MacBook Pro)

anyone have any ideas?
I swear i pay for it if someone does it because i give up.

thanks….
