Hi. I keep getting this error whenever I try adding a pod dependency to my project. Can anyone help?

Note: I have cocoapods and cocoapods-generate installed

[Alexey Glushkov]

Hi, it seems your cocoapods is outdated.
Mine is 1.9.3 and it supports the gen command.
Could you try to update your cocoapods?

[Jide]

I had 1.10.0 then downgraded to 1.9.3.. Same result

Hm, then it might mean that Android Studio runs another version of cocoapods installed on your machine.

When I call

which pod

I get

/usr/local/bin/pod

Tried this and got the same path

Hello, @Jide! Most probably, your installation is missing cocoapods-generate plugin, which have to be installed as described here.
UPD: missed the note above. Got no other advice at the moment, according to https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/10043 and https://github.com/square/cocoapods-generate/issues/37#issuecomment-711410927 it’s either a new cocoapods-generate bug or something about cocoapods itself. What is your cocoapods-generate plugin version?

@Jide were you able to fix this? I am getting the same error

In my case, turned out my system was still using an outdated version of cocoapods despite installing newer ones. I found out using pods --version. So I had to follow some instructions online to clear everything then install again then I stopped getting the error
