1. I'm guessing your gems are not in your system path:
   1. find the pathhttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/19072070/how-to-find-where-gem-files-are-installed
   2. add it to your system path: export PATH="<gemspath>:$PATH" in .zshrc or .bashrc etc (depending on the shell you are using)
2. Could be related to macos 12.4, try:
   1. brew install python (make sure it's in the path if it's not added by default, brew would print instructions if that's the case if I remember correctly)
   2. sudo ln -s -f $(which python3) /usr/local/bin/python

[JimLynchCodes]

thanks @rigor789!

I checked where the cocoapods got installed by doing:

which gem cocoapods

that output this:

/usr/bin/gem

So I added that in addition to ruby path's already in my ~/.bash_profile

# Add rubygems to the path
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/bin:$PATH

# or
export PATH=/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/bin:$PATH


export PATH=/usr/bin/gem:$PATH

But when I run tns doctor ios I still get this warning that it can't find cocoapods... 😢

[rigor789]

Run which pod and lmk what you get, and then also try pod --version.

[JimLynchCodes]

thanks @rigor789

here's my output for the two commands

which pod --> /usr/local/bin/pod

pod --version --> 1.11.3

[JimLynchCodes]

I am running on mac 12.4

After running those two python commands though I still get the python warning, "The Python 'six' package not found. "

[JimLynchCodes]

Also, I don't understand this... if these are just "warnings" why are they preventing the build from happening when I run tns build ios??

[rigor789]

CocoaPods is required, as that needs to install your 3rd party dependencies, six likely wouldn't affect the build command...

[jarrodwhitley]

This warning seems to imply that is does

[JimLynchCodes]

hi @rigor789

I ran the commands and added things into my .bashrc as you suggested, but I'm still getting these two errors:

✖ WARNING: CocoaPods is not installed or is not configured properly. 
 You will not be able to build your projects for iOS if they contain plugin with CocoaPod file.
To be able to build such projects, verify that you have installed CocoaPods (`sudo gem install cocoapods`).

 This package is required by the Debugger library (LLDB) for iOS. You can install it by first making sure you have pip installed and then running 'pip install six' from the terminal. 

No tns command works anymore so it's kind of a big problem... 😢

[nenzan]

any update for this? I had same issue

[NathanWalker]

Hi @nenzan we have been revamping the environment setup and you can try the revised instructions on the beta docs here:
https://beta.docs.nativescript.org/setup/macos#installing-python-and-six

Let us know if that helps you when following verbatim.

[NathanWalker]

Thanks for confirming. When get a chance to run this command and paste output here would be very helpful:

echo 'y' | npx nativescript-envinfo

I got this @NathanWalker , in my case it need downgrade to specific Nativescript version 8.3 and repeat step by step from beginning and it's work

[DepickereSven]

I was able to fix it by running the following command:

sudo ln -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python3 /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python

Because I kept getting the pop-up to install the dev tools.

I just bought a new M2 macbook pro and I had same issue. Took hours to find your answer, that was the solution for me; thanks a lot!

[a3pelawi]

Same problem,
I just uninstall cocoapods that installed using gem,
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
than install it again using brew.
brew install cocoapods
i'm using macbook and zsh, and I never export anything in .zshrc

• And everything work good.
