pod --version error can't satisfy 'rexml (~> 3.2.4)', already activated 'rexml-3.3.6'


when I run the pod --version command, I keep getting these error messages.

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ruby/3.3.5/lib/ruby/3.3.0/rubygems/specification.rb:1411:in `block in activate_dependencies': can't satisfy 'rexml (~> 3.2.4)', already activated 'rexml-3.3.6' (Gem::LoadError)

Before it happened, all I did was fastlane update_fastlane. I don't even know it's relevant.

I already trying to reinstall cocoapods and rexml using gem install rexml -v 3.2.4. However if I try to uninstall cocoapods using gem uninstall cocoapods, then it says Gem 'cocoapods' is not installed.

I think something is really messed up here. What can I do?


Solution

  • Got the same error this morning, i've managed to fix it following this thread

    gem cleanup
    brew uninstall cocoapods
    sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
    sudo gem install cocoapods
    cd ios
    pod install --repo-update
