I tried to use pod install in my project to implement SDK but it throws this error:

/Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:318:in 'to_specs': Could not find 'cocoapods' (>= 0.a) among 35 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError) Checked in 'GEM_PATH=/Users/admin/.gem/ruby/2.0.0:/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0:/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0', execute gem env for more information from /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:327:in 'to_spec' from /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_gem.rb:64:in 'gem' from /usr/local/bin/pod:22:in `'

Does anyone knows what causes and how to fix it?

First of all Uninstall CocoaPods using sudo command.

Follow below steps :

  1. sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
  2. gem install cocoapods
  3. pod install

When you install again then do not use sudo command. You can find for sudo less installation from here.

This issue is related to update Ruby. So you should apply the following steps:

  1. sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
  2. sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6
  3. gem install cocoapods

Try to run directly this command

  1. update system gem using sudo gem update --system

  2. After that reinstall cocoapods using sudo gem install cocoapods

  3. and last pod install
