The file “Pods.xcconfig” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file

Question

How to solve this issue. I have downloaded the iOS project from the Git repo and when I try to build, it gives an error:

Check dependencies
The file “Pods.xcconf         


        

Answer 1

1. close Xcode
2. pod install
3. open Xcode

Answer 2

You may be using the Xcode default project file. After installing the framework through pod, you must use the generated xcworkspace in the project folder.

Example : SampleProject.xcworkspace.

Answer 3

Closing Xcode, pod update and pod install didn't help me.
I just ran the install cocoapods command again:

sudo gem install cocoapods

If you see error:

You don't have write permissions for the /usr/bin directory

Use next command:

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

Answer 4

I've experience a similar situation, for me, it's an error stop all the pods to be updated when I ran pod update.

Try to resolve the error and run pod update again, clean your project then try to build again.

Answer 5

Hey i had this same problem, I was getting the following error when running pod update however i didn’t realise the update wasn’t working.

$ pod update

Analyzing dependencies /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/pathname.rb:422:in `open': No such file or directory

It was because I forgot to run "pod setup" after installing cocoapods. I ran pod setup from the terminal, followed it up with pod update (or pod install) and everything went to plan.

Answer 6

I found a good hint inside the issues of CocoaPods on GitHub, try this:

1. Close your project (better close Xcode completely)
2. Open the Terminal inside your project and execute pod install
3. Open your project again. If there are still errors clean your project ( Shift + cmd + K ), after this the errors should be gone.
