cc @knopp who is the "test owner"
cc @vashworth maybe this is related to the swift package manager transition?

Looks like it's not installing CocoaPods. This is due to the ci.yaml setup:

flutter/.ci.yaml

Lines 7017 to 7025 in 662fc4a

    
             - name: Mac windowing_test 
        
               recipe: devicelab/devicelab_drone 
        
               presubmit: true 
        
               bringup: true 
        
               timeout: 60 
        
               properties: 
        
                 tags: > 
        
                   ["devicelab", "hostonly", "mac"] 
        
                 task_name: windowing_test_macos

It needs to add ruby as a dependency. See example:

flutter/.ci.yaml

Lines 3901 to 3905 in 662fc4a

    
               properties: 
        
                 dependencies: >- 
        
                   [ 
        
                     {"dependency": "ruby", "version": "ruby_3.1-pod_1.13"} 
        
                   ]
