I found an issue when running sudo pod install command after updating it to latest version 0.32.1. Earlier it was working very fine.
When I tried to do pod install with older cocoapods, it asked me to update to latest cocoapods version i.e. 0.32.1. After I updated by cocoapods gem, I can't do sudo pod install in my Xcode project. It gives me following error.
± sudo pod install ruby-1.9.3-p0

Any suggestion to overcome the issue would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
I had to update permission on CocoaPods
sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
sudo chown -R $USER ~/.cocoapods
Since it seems to fix the problem for some people, you might want to try running "pod install" and see if it fixed your problem from that point. However, I still had a permission denied when running "pod install" for a pod item, so running the next line will overwrite permission for the pod folder.
sudo chown -R $USER ./Pods
I have removed the old podfile.lock before running pod install
