CocoaPods requires your terminal to be using UTF-8 encoding

one solution:

To prevent the invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII issue users should properly setup their environment to use UTF8:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

This thread highlights this common troubleshooting question.

other one (Recommended),

So there's two ways to approach this, which is reflected in the two types of answers here.

One is to make a permanent change to your environment by changing your shell configuration (e.g. .bashrc or locale defaults). So running this app on another machine will run into similar errors.

Edit your current build scheme - cmd-option-R

Expand Build, and select Pre-actions

Add a New Run Script Action

Then for your script, just add:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

This worked for me. It should look something like this:
