<What is CocoaPods
CocoaPods manages library dependencies for your Xcode projects.
The dependencies for your projects are specified in a single text file called a Podfile. CocoaPods will resolve dependencies between libraries, fetch the resulting source code, then link it together in an Xcode workspace to build your project.
Ultimately the goal is to improve discoverability of, and engagement in, third party open-source libraries by creating a more centralised ecosystem.

- Brew based CocoaPods CLI fails in MacOS 10.15 Catalina, Report TL;DR Work-around Install from gem instead of brew, via gem install to using unavailable Ruby 2.3, as in the case of the related High Sierra bug: and ' brew install cocoapods -build-from-source', still not working. I've just tried to solve it, and It seems that the issue happens.
Installing CocoaPods. If you are installing on macOS 10.9.0-10.9.2, you may run into an issue when RubyGems tries to install the json gem. To fix this follow these instructions. After upgrading from macOS 10.8 to 10.9 the installed CocoaPods gem doesn’t work anymore, even after re-installing the gem.

Macos Catalina Install Cocoa Pods Reviews
CocoaPods is built with Ruby and it will be installable with the default Rubyavailable on macOS. You can use a Ruby Version manager, however we recommend thatyou use the standard Ruby available on macOS unless you know what you're doing.
Using the default Ruby install will require you to use sudo when installinggems. (This is only an issue for the duration of the gem installation, though.)
