ruby refers to the ancient ruby18 which is from 2014 and does not support Xcode 12 or later, indeed.

Not that you would want to use it anyway.

Try one of the newer ruby versions, like ruby27 which builds on all newer systems <​https://packages.macports.org/ruby27/>

Now -- should:

sudo port install ruby

get you ruby18 instead of ruby27? Probably not, and that is likely a good issue to raise, for those who might not be so versed in their gemstones...
