after trying to build ionic project with xcode in my new macos i got an error about cocoapods so I sent this command to install
the main error: ionic skipping pod install because cocoapods is not installed

 

UPDATE: video below with uZD2EQbBqPg helped overcome the error with the sudo gem install cocoapods command.

VIdeo TItle: How to Fix Cocoapods Install Errors on an Apple Silicon Macs

sudo gem install cocoapods

Thats when I got a bunch of errors. to solve it, i was able to find the solution in the video below with the following command:

xcode-select --install

after i tried to install cocoapods, didn't get the error anymore:

ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension
