Building iOS capacitor app failed, with & without sudo

[JoeAccordance]

When I do sudo quasar dev -m capacitor -T ios it gives the following error:
✖ Updating iOS native dependencies with pod install - failed!
✖ update ios - failed! [error] /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/claide-1.1.0/lib/claide/command.rb:439:in help!': [!] You cannot run CocoaPods as root. (CLAide::Help)`
Which makes sense, since CocoaPods does not allow running as root.

But then if I just do quasar dev -m capacitor -T ios, after entering the external IP choice, it simply errors out without any warning/message.

Could someone help me? How do I do this without sudo?
