Hello everyone! I am struggling with the next error for quite some time now:

'pod install' command failed with an exception:
 Cannot run program "pod" (in directory "/Users/markfrelih/AndroidStudioProjects/app-sdk/iosApp"): error=2, No such file or directory
        
        Full command: pod install
        
        Possible reason: CocoaPods is not installed
        Please check that CocoaPods v1.10 or above is installed.
        
        To check CocoaPods version type 'pod --version' in the terminal
        
        To install CocoaPods execute 'sudo gem install cocoapods'

I have searched this channel for similar issues, tried googling it but nothing helps. 🤷 I’ve tried:
• Different versions of ruby
• Installing cocoapods via brew instead of gem
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70869813/android-studio-bumblebee-pod-install-command-failed-with-an-exception-error-2/70968187#70968187
The thing is that navigating to iosApp folder and running pod install manually works as expected. This is the output:

Analyzing dependencies
Downloading dependencies
Generating Pods project
Integrating client project
Pod installation complete! There is 1 dependency from the Podfile and 1 total pod installed.

What is also interesting that I was able to solve it sometimes by running ./gradlew podInstall manually and then I was able to sync the project. The things is that I can’t figure out why this sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t (at this moment I can’t get it to work at all). 😅

kdoctor only complains about cocoapods-generate, which is not compatible with ruby 3.0.0+ and afaik is not even needed now. I had it working without cocoapods-generate before. I tried for example using ruby 2.7.6 + cocoapods-generate installed, so kdoctor was all green, but I still could not sync the project.

My environment:
• cocoapods - 1.11.3
• Ruby - 3.0.3
• Android Studio - Dolphin | 2021.3.1 Patch 1
• Xcode - 13.3
• M1 mac
• macOS Monterey - 12.2
Any help is greatly appreciated! 🙏

Hi! Did I get it right that the error happens only when running from IDE?
Can you compare PATH variable in gradle when it was launched from shell and from IDE?

[a-dd]

To find it you can add println("PATH=${System.getenv("PATH")}") to your root build.gradle.kts and then run any task or gradle sync

Hey! Yeah you did get it right! It really appears that the two are different 🤔

[Mark Frelih]

I’ll try to correct the PATH that gradle uses

JFYI https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/216364005#comment40 seems related

[Mark Frelih]

Yeah, I tried possible solutions from here as well, but no luck 🤷

[a-dd]

Are the $SHELL values differs in IDE and terminal?

[Mark Frelih]

Hmmm.. good point! Will check tomorrow 👍

@a-dd Thanks for your help! It appears that the environment that AS uses in the background is using zsh, which was somehow unable to run pod command. I am using bash and I was able to run pod via it manually. 🤷 The issue is now resolved. Thanks again!
