I'm not able to install Cocoapods in context with setting up React Native environment on my M1 Silicon due to below error.

M1, 2020 MacOs Big Sur 11.3.1 X-Code 13.2.1

jonas@Air-von-Jonas ~ % sudo gem install cocoapods
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing cocoapods:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

checking for ffi.h... *** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.

I already tried all of these, these, the official cocoapod guide and also tried the official React-Native hints.

  • In the first step, you must look for the terminal in the finder.
  • After this, you need to right-click on the terminal and then click on “get info”, and after this, you are required to check open using Rosetta, which you can easily find under the general menu.
  • After the above step, you should open the terminal, and then you need to type sudo gem install ffi
  • Then you are required to install the CocoaPods with the sudo gem install cocoapods
  • Once you have successfully installed the CocoaPods, you need to uncheck the box appearing on your screen with the Open using Rosetta, and it will again start working.
  • Then you can visit your project directory and work again.
