Answer 1

Try sudo xcode-select -r

If it didn't help, let me know

it helped for me

'pod --version' returned 0.37.2 (even after updating cocoa pods to 0.38.2) it would update but still for some reason use 0.37.2 for all pod commands
So what I did: 
1) run 'pod --verbose' to locate the 0.37.2, delete it manually
2) run 'gem list --local | grep cocoapods' to find all cocoa pods installed on machine
2.1) 'gem uninstall' everything returned by step2 
2.2) run 'gem list --local | grep cocoapods' just to make sure everything is deleted
3) '[sudo] gem uninstall cocoapods'
4) '[sudo] gem install cocoapods'

Or try home-brew update if you installed pod via brew before

Answer 2

Have you tried to update your cocoapods gem using sudo ?

sudo gem update

Answer 3

I just installed newer version, all error went away. sudo gem install cocoapods --pre. I had 0.37.2, i updated to a beta version 0.39.0

Answer 4

I got same error while pod installation.

Following commands work for me.

~> sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
~> sudo gem install cocoapods
~> pod install
