This post is for anybody with problems updating CocoaPods, and unable to run the current pod executable.
Extracted from the CocoaPods GitHub Issues, find here the steps necessary to solve this problem and have a new brilliant pod executable working:
1. Open Xcode 6
2. Open Preferences (Menú Xcode-Preferences)
3. Click the Locations tab
4. Change the Command Line Tools version to Xcode 6.0
5. Uninstall from a terminal window cocoapods (all installed versions prompted)
$ sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
6. Uninstall xcodeproj (all installed versions prompted)
$ sudo gem uninstall xcodeproj
7. Install xcodeproj
$ sudo gem install xcodeproj
8. Install cocoapods (retry a second time if fails with a error)
$ sudo gem install cocoapods
9. Run pod –version to verify that it worked
Before doing a new installation I found the following error on executing pod:

Without doing the steps above, I found imposible to install the updated version of cocoa pods, the installation failed with error:

Hope this could help somebody
Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed to get back up and running after installing Yosemite
Thanks for these instructions – worked nicely
