Running CocoaPods in Rosetta on an ARM mac to embed plugins (arch -x86_64 pod install) fails:

LoadError - dlsym(0x7fbbeb6837d0, Init_ffi_c): symbol not found - /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.13.1/lib/ffi_c.bundle
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.13.1/lib/ffi.rb:6:in `rescue in <top (required)>'
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/ffi-1.13.1/lib/ffi.rb:3:in `<top (required)>'

The workaround is to install the ffi gem in x86:

arch -x86_64 sudo gem install ffi

Figure out how to install this from flutter (prompt sudo) without making bundler people mad, or at least add a doctor check similar to the one where CocoaPods isn't installed and prompt them to run that command.

    The tool now detects this issue and suggests how to fix it. That's probably the best we can do until it's fixed on CocoaPod's side.

    Also mentioned in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Developing-with-Flutter-on-Apple-Silicon.
