FYI: {{Project ID}} is my Lokalize project ID

Your environment:

• OS (MacOS BigSur 11.3)
• Ruby version (2.4.9)

Good day! This is because delete_prefix is not available in Ruby 2.4, and the latest version of this gem is not intended to work with Ruby < 2.5 as mentioned in the changelog (actually, even 2.5 has reached end of life and is no longer supported by the core team). The last version to support Ruby 2.4 should be ruby-lokalise-api v3.0.0.

Another simple solution is to directly monkey patch the String class somewhere in your app and add support for these new methods (or add a refine block). Here's an example: https://github.com/ruby/csv/blob/master/lib/csv/delete_suffix.rb

However, I'd really recommend migrating to a newer Ruby version.
