I'm just learning to use cocoapods and am encountering an error when trying to install a pod.
Top of error:
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.15.3/lib/ffi/library.rb:275: [BUG] Bus Error at 0x00000001045b8000 ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.arm64e-darwin20]
Bottom of error:
zsh: abort pod install
Have tried the following, as suggested on some threads here and GitHub:
but nothing seems to be working; the error persists and the .xcworkspace file doesn't appear.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
I came across someone having this issue a while ago and I believe one of the suggestions made was to try the following:
install gem using
sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
and then run this
arch -x86_64 pod install
it might work, it might not, I'm not too sure. This is because from the arm64 part of your error message I assume you have an M1 Mac. Either way it's probably worth a try.
If the other solution (sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi) does not work for you, try the following one instead:
gem install --user-install ffi -- --enable-libffi-alloc
After that, run pod install or whatever you were trying to do again, but without prefixing it with arch -x86_64.
It worked for me without issues and this way I could also avoid going the Intel emulation (Rosetta 2) way.
I find this solution in an issue filed on the ffi github project.
