sudo pod install --allow-root worked for me

sudo pod install --allow-root worked for me

I tried to run it with root permission after that, I face a problem on XCode Couldn't load project Pods.xcodeproj

@muathkhatib are you solved your issue ? I have the same issue

Alhamdulillah, i have managed to solve this problem

try this :

1. remove Folder CocoaPods (cd ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods)
2. try add new mkdir CocoaPods (dont forget allow root : sudo chmod 777 CocoaPods)
3. go to cd CocoaPods, create mkdir Pods (dont forget allow root : sudo chmod 777 Pods)
4. back to project open cmd, check current user (command : whoami)
5. finally, sudo chown -R ownerName: node_modules/
6. try again in project cd ios && pod install

Yes, Give your project folder permission read & write and apply it for enclosed items

This one is perfect solution

[axelvillamil]

sudo pod install --allow-root worked for me

Works but this sadly messes up your Xcode project

[marvin-kolja]

Using Flutter which automatically installs pods when running flutter build ios etc. The following worked for me:

sudo chown -R $(shell whoami) ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
sudo chown -R $(shell whoami) ~/.cocoapods
