i am able to resolve this issue as The error you're seeing (LoadError - cannot load such file -- ffi_c) generally occurs because the ffi (Foreign Function Interface) gem, which CocoaPods require, is either missing or incompatible with your current Ruby and macOS version.

I run these commands respectively

sudo gem uninstall ffi
sudo gem install ffi
brew install rbenv
pod update
pod install

NOTE: remember to delete podfile.lock pod update before
