There is a stackoverflow thread that deals with an error related to ffi.
The thread suggests that you should perform the following installation in terminal:
sudo gem install ffi
The page does exist but obviously you can’t see it which means that you are not a CWC+ member given that the thread is within the CWC+ Students area.
This is the content of the thread:
You are not the first to have issues with cocoapods on an M1 chipped Mac with Big Sur. You and others are getting an error that points towards a missing ffi.c bundle as indicated by the first line in the error messages you posted above that says:
LoadError - dlopen(/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.14.2/lib/ffi_c.bundle, 0x0009): missing compatible arch in /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.14.2/lib/ffi_c.bundle - /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.14.2/lib/ffi_c.bundle
From what I have read the solution seems to be by firstly opening Terminal with Rosetta 2.
Here’s the workaround:
Locate the Terminal application within the Utilities folder (Finder > Go menu > Utilities)
Select Terminal.app and right-click on it, then choose “Duplicate”
Rename the duplicated Terminal app to something obvious and distinct, like ‘Rosetta Terminal’
Now select the freshly renamed ‘Rosetta Terminal’ app and right-click and choose “Get Info” (or hit Command+i)
Check the box for “Open using Rosetta”, then close the Get Info window
Now run sudo gem install cocoapods
Reply with how things go.

So, I hope my first story-guide will help all iOS developers continue to work on MacBooks running on Apple M1 chip.
