Cocoapods: Failed to connect to GitHub to update the CocoaPods/Specs specs repo

Question

When running pod repo update the following error is generated:

Updating spec repo `master`
[!] Failed to connect to GitHub to update the CocoaPo         


        

Answer 1

I also encountered the same issue. In my scene, i used a mirror repo (hosted elsewhere) of cocoapods specs on github. When i updated the specs repo, it worked!

cd ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
git pull

Answer 2

You can try this:

$sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
$pod setup
$pod install

but in my case I had to:

• delete the Podfile.lock and then

• $pod install

Answer 3

1. Remove all of cocoapods package. ^{See here for information on how to do this.}

2. Then reinstall cocoapods. $ sudo gem install cocoapods

Answer 4

I was also facing the same problem. I solved it only by accessing two commands from terminal.

sudo gem uninstall nanaimo

and then

sudo gem install nanaimo

Hope so it will help.
