Answer 1

You can try it like this. pod spec lint --sources='https://git.oschina.net/yourname/jqcpodspec,https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs' --allow-warnings --use-libraries

if your spec pass validation, then pod repo push JQCPodSpec FMCommonModelLib.podspec --sources='https://git.oschina.net/yourname/jqcpodspec,https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs' --allow-warnings --use-libraries

Answer 2

If you landed here on or after January 30th 2014, there is a break in CocoaPods causing this. Please read the related blog post found here: http://blog.cocoapods.org/Repairing-Our-Broken-Specs-Repository/

or do:

pod repo remove master
pod setup

Wow this one has been a real pain and everyone seems to have a different solution. For me this solution worked on multiple machines/environments on a few occasions:

Apparently there is a bug with psych that is causing the problem.

sudo gem uninstall psych
sudo gem install psych -v 2.0.0

There's a lengthy conversation over on the CococaPods repo about the issue and this fix.

You need to fix permissions and files owner

$ sudo chown -R user ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
$ sudo chown -R user ./Pods
$ sudo chown -R user ./Podfile.lock
$ sudo chmod -R 777 ./Pods

$ pod update/setup
