I am not able to build the KMM template - <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-ios-android-template>

```Execution failed for task ':shared:podInstall'.
&gt; 'pod install' command failed with code 1.
  Full command: pod install
  Error message:
      [33mWARNING: CocoaPods requires your terminal to be using UTF-8 encoding.

I have added the following in the `~/.zprofile` file.

```export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8```
There is only one podfile in the root of the project where I have already run pod install

Hello! You can try to run:
```brew install kdoctor
kdoctor```
It will help to investigate what's wrong with the environment

According to kdoctor, the environment is setup properly.

<@U5F18JUKF>
``` iosApp % 
rm -rf Pods
rm Podfile.lock
pod install  ```
and, try again!

<@U0189MX6A1Z> what is the best way to install cocoapod on Intel Mac? I have used the following way.

`sudo gem install cocoapods`

And `iosApp %` meaning I should be in that folder? But I think the podfile is in root folder.

<@U5F18JUKF> 
Run the three commands in the iosApp folder under the root project!

<@U0189MX6A1Z> still not able to build. Here is the full log.

I’m not quite sure. :cry: Would you like to try ‘Rebuild Project’?

I can’t do anything because the first gradle sync hasn’t happened yet. So there are no tasks to be executed even the rebuild.

ChatGPT was a great help when I was trying out Compose Multiplatform. Have you tried sending the error messages to GPT?

Don’t give up! You just need to overcome a few initial hurdles!

<@U5F18JUKF>
look what I did in 1 hour and the problem fixed,

I used chat gpt to add
```export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8```
to two file
/.profile
/.zprofile

and the problem didn't solve after that I change the mac user then back to the user and the project build successfully,

it seems that the changes in terminal command have applied after re-login to user,

I don’t know what exactly is the solution but I set shell and environment variables eagerly in both the system and Android Studio. After which a few restarts and it started working.
