After some investigation, we found out that this was caused by AppLovinMediationByteDanceAdapter, specifically by its dependency BURelyFoundation_Global.

What else we found?

This is not reproducible on Intel processors on Mac OS, only machines with M processors are affected
This is not caused by cocoapods type or version, tested on different versions of cocoapods with native support and under Rosseta

What else we did do to fix it?

Obvious move - we removed AppLovinMediationByteDanceAdapter from the build. Without ByteDance adapter everything works as expected, so this problem is directly linked to this adapter
Downgraded version of this adapter (to 3 different versions, even to 5.1.0.8.0), it doesn't help

Expected Behavior

Pod install command for resulted xcode project with AppLovinMediationByteDanceAdapter works as expected

How to Reproduce

Described in the expected behaviour section

AdColony is deprecated so you no longer need that adapter. The permission issue may be related to how you're running CocoaPods command, perhaps try sudo ...?

Viabo commented 3 months ago

@thomasmso Cocoapods, by default, can't be run under sudo, this is a restriction of this tool, however there is a available arg --allow-root, but we can't use it because we are using https://github.com/googlesamples/unity-jar-resolver and we are unable to pass extra arguments to cocoapods. Thus, this is workaround for the issue, not a solution for it.

@Viabo looks like this is a regression in cocoapods 1.15.0 based on the issue here: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/12225 Downgrading to 1.14.3 should work while they fix it.

@maximilianbuck Thank you for your help, it really worked and insane that this bug appeared again in the newer version of cocoa
