I am having a rather weird day. I get this error whenever I try to run my app on iOS simulator from Android Studio

WARNING: CocoaPods requires your terminal to be using UTF-8 encoding. Consider adding the following to ~/.profile:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

At this point on Xcode, I begin to get the error

Error: "The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock..."

when I try to build on Xcode. However, I am able to build successfully on Xcode and run on my emulator after the following fixes

 1. $pod deintegrate --verbose
 2. $pod install --verbose

Going back to Android Studio, I get my initial error again and so I keep going in circles

just change your cocoapos version to 1.10.2 to solve your problem.

first uninstall your current version (whatever it is)

In my case, i downgraded from version 1.11.1

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

Then just install the stable version (as of Nov 11, 2021)

sudo gem install cocoapods:1.10.2

and build your app again.

If still not working , delete the below from the build directory:

  • Podfile
  • Podfile.lock
  • Pods (directory)

and build.

It fixed it for me, twice in the last few days.

Solving Cocoapods UTF-8 error: (Detailed explanation)

We need to change the locale of the terminal to UTF-8.

Step 1: Open the terminal, type locale, press enter, and check what locale it shows.

Step 2: If it's a bash terminal, change it to a zsh terminal,

Step 3: Then open finder, go to mac HD, users, folder with your username, and press command+shift+. to open hidden files

Step 4: Create or open a file named .zshrc

Step 5: Paste this there:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Step 6: Save it by command + s

Step 7: Then open the terminal again and check by typing, locale and pressing enter (Then you can either keep it open or close the terminal)

Step 8: If it shows some other locale instead of UTF-8, then paste the below 3 lines and press enter:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Step 9: Then open Android Studio, go to the terminal and paste the same above 3 lines, and press enter

Step 10: Then on your project file, go to the ios folder, right-click on it, and open in the terminal, then in the terminal, do paste the same above 3 lines and press enter

Step 11: Now you can install pods in this terminal by typing, pod install.

Now it will work, if you still get the same error, go to tools -> flutter -> flutter clean and restart android studio by clicking on File -> restart ide or a similar one.

Then on your project, right-click on the ios folder and open the terminal, type locale, and press enter, if it's not in UTF-8 now, then from step 9 again up to step 11, it will work now. You can run your app on iOS devices now.

This only worked for me when I added quotes, so "en_US.UTF-8", not en_US.UTF-8.

After trying every solution I could lay my hands on, I figured it was a problem with Android studio and I fixed by completely uninstalling and reinstalling AS

If you're using fish shell, do the following:

  1. Open config.fish in the the .config/fish/ directory

  2. Add the following command

set -Ux LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8
  1. Call source config.fish to apply changes. Or open a new tab.

That's all. It works on my machine.

After trying everything to no avail, I discovered that you need to surround the en_US.UTF-8 in QUOTES, so:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
