Step 1: Reinstall CocoaPods
- Open your terminal and execute the following commands to uninstall and reinstall CocoaPods:

If the issue persists, ensure that your environment paths are correctly set:
- Check the following files for path configurations:
~/.profile,~/.zshrc, and~/.bashrc. - Ensure that the path to your configuration files is included in the
~/.profilefile.
