How can solve this problem? Error: To set up CocoaPods for ARM macOS, run: arch -x86_64 sudo gem install ffi

Question

Updated context:

When I tried to run flutter project, but I got the this error Error: To set up CocoaPods for ARM macOS, run: arch -x86_64 sudo gem install ffi

I'd run arch -x86_64 sudo gem install ffi, but still had same issues.

this is information

yomate@Mac-mini yomate % sudo gem install ffi
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/universal-darwin21/rbconfig.rb:230: warning: Insecure world writable dir /Users/yomate/FlutterDev/flutter/bin in PATH, mode 040777

How can solve this problem? arch: posix_spawnp: gem: Bad CPU type in executable , environment: Mini M1

When I want to use this commend

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi and sudo arch -x86_64 gem install cocoapods

I had got this error. arch: posix_spawnp: gem: Bad CPU type in executable

And my flutter still had error.

I'm not sure if that's the fix but try uninstalling the ffi gem and installing it again, this time natively: sudo gem install --user-install ffi, then just flutter run – Ungraceful

Having the same error, and @Ungraceful suggestion didn't fix it. Any additional thoughts? – Mustang

@Mustang make sure your binaries as well as env architectures are aligned, execute arch, flutter doctor and dart --version - they should all return darwin-arm or arm64 – Ungraceful

Answer 1

try with this
sudo gem uninstall ffi && sudo gem install ffi -- --enable-libffi-alloc

Answer 3

I was getting the same message on a fresh install of macOS 12.4 on a M1 MBA,

Turns out Rosetta wasn't installed yet (I'm guessing the transition to Apple Silicon is almost complete then? haha), and once I installed it the warning went away.

What method did you use to install Rosetta? – Alleviator

I don't remember either by installing an Intel architecture app or through the command line. – Kroo
