`create` command fails if cocoapods is not available

See original GitHub issue

If creating a project on macOS (npx @capacitor/cli create), it expects the user to have cocoapods installed. If this is only a requirement if the user is developing for the web, then this should be optional and not fail.

I was having issue with “npx cap add ios” for ionic. Error was: [error] /bin/sh: /usr/local/bin/pod: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Fix was sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

just putting it out there for people who are having trouble.
