Unable to add a source with url

Question

[!] Unable to add a source with url git@github.com:CocoaPods/Specs.git named master-1. You can try adding it manually in ~/.cocoapods/repos

Answer 1

For me, I had to pod setup first.

Answer 2

You may need to reset your command line tools:

sudo xcode-select -r

I was receiving the same error message. Then I noticed, that the wrong Xcode environment was selected (it pointed to an old version which I deleted in the meantime). The command above resets it to the default command line path.

Alternatively you might have no command line tools installed. In that case, download them from the Apple site and install them.

Answer 3

Go to ~/.cocoapods/repos and run git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git master

Answer 4

Please follow this link for this problem. Its possible to forgott set your newly install Xcode path on command-line tool. Xcode-->Preferences-->Locations-->Command line tool --> set your Xcode.

Answer 5

When you get above error it means, you didn't do the pod setup

instructions:

1. First install the cocoapods in you Mac if it is not already installed. Use terminal.

   Xcode 7 + 8

   sudo gem install cocoapods --pre

   Xcode 7

   sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6 sudo gem install cocoapods

2. Set up the pod using command pod setup

after doing these initial set up you are ready to make your project as work space project. You can follow these commands using terminal

1. Goto Project location folder : ~/Destop/SampleProject
2. Create pod file : pod init

3. List down your cocoa pods init it :

   # Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
   #platform :ios, '9.0'
   
   target 'SampleProject' do
   # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
   use_frameworks!
   
   # Pods for SampleProject
   pod 'SlideMenuControllerSwift'
   
   
   target 'SampleProjectTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
   # Pods for testing
   end
   
   target 'SampleProjectUITests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
   end
   

   end

it will help you.

or else

After installation of cocoapods than you can download the cocoa master repo manually into Mac.

    $ cd /Users/username/.cocoapods/repos 
    $ git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git master
