Unable to pull images using minikube in mac

Question

I'm using Minikube on macOS 13.5 and encountering the below error when attempting to create a deployment. I've configured Docker as the runtime container.

$kubectl get pod
NAME                          READY   STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE
nginx-depl-6b7698588c-2j7wt   0/1     ImagePullBackOff   0          6m51s

I followed a tutorial(https://medium.com/@javatechie/kubernetes-tutorial-install-run-minikube-in-mac-os-k8s-cluster-369b25b0c3f0) to set up Minikube and kubectl. When I inspect the pod, I encounter the following error:

By the way, proxy settings are turned off on my Mac. I am unable to ping from inside minikube.
