An error occurred while installing ffi (1.16.3), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install ffi -v '1.16.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'`
succeeds before bundling.

I had a similar problem. In my case the native extension wouldn't build, seemingly because it couldn't find ffi.h and/or had the wrong SDK path.

I was using XCode 15.0 at the time - switching back to Xcode 14.3.1 solved it. Not ideal as a long-term fix, but might help you out of a hole...

Make sure you have Xcode installed in /Applications/Xcode and haven't renamed it to something else (common if you have 2 Xcodes for a while...)

Your problem: /bin/sh: /Applications/Xcode: No such file or directory - make sure Xcode is installed and is in that directory.

Your problem: /bin/sh: /Applications/Xcode: No such file or directory - make sure Xcode is installed and is in that directory.

Is there a separate ticket to fix this? Assuming that Xcode is at /Applications/Xcode.app is not a legitimate or reliable thing to do.

In case anyone stumbles onto this issue like I did, in my case, I was installing this on the Terraform docker image based on Alpine Linux. I had to add libffi-dev package.

on linux (alpine) after installing libffi-dev I get a different error: fatal error: linux/limits.h: No such file or directory 55 | #include <linux/limits.h> 🤔
