CocoaPods not installed or not in valid state

Question

Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 11 Pro Max in debug mode... Warning: CocoaPods is installed but broken. Skipping pod install.   You appear to have CocoaPods installed but it is not working.   This can happen if the version of Ruby that CocoaPods was installed with is different from the one being used to invoke it.   This can usually be fixed by re-installing CocoaPods. For more info, see https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14293. To re-install:   sudo gem install cocoapods  CocoaPods not installed or not in valid state. Error launching application on iPhone 11 Pro Max. 

Answer 1

usually this happens due to visual studio or IntelliJ not able to find the path or associated plugin or extension.

here is the solution:

1. sudo gem uninstall cocoapods && sudo gem install cocoapods
2. restart IDE or Editor

the last step should solve the issue if not close the project entirely

Answer 2

Someone I know had this issue, and another person recommended this fix.

Run this command from terminal:

open /Applications/Android\ Studio.app 

The issue is that there are 3 possible resource paths where you put paths to your configs....

• 1^st is the ~/.profile
• 2^nd is the ~/.zshrc.
• 3^rd is the ~/.bashrc.

So what happens is that when the path to your configs is not in the ~/.profile file, it can't be accessed from the opening link from the launchpad. Whenever you open a terminal session, all 3 paths are synchronised automatically. That's the difference.
