Since Mapbox 6.x you have to indicate credential to retrieve latest available pod version: https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/overview/#configure-credentials

You can add credential before pod install / pod update process and remove it after with this macos script for example:

echo "Generate credential for mapbox"
echo "machine api.mapbox.com" > ~/.netrc
echo "login mapbox" >> ~/.netrc
echo "password <INSERT API TOKEN>" >> ~/.netrc

To delete this entry later :

sed -i '' -e '/^machine api.mapbox.com$/{N;N;d;}' ~/.netrc
