Unable to find a specification in CocoaPods

Question

I cannot understand why the Cocoapod is unable to find the pod specification I created when I run pod install. Could someone help me solve this trouble?

Answer 1

I solved my problem with below command:

cocoa pod update

To update use this command

sudo gem install cocoapods

if above command gives error than use this one

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

and than do this

pod repo update

Answer 2

You first need to add your Podspec to a private specs repo; this lets CocoaPods find the pod when you try to install it.

Enter the following in Terminal, making sure you’re still in the framework directory you are trying to add:

pod repo add [your framework name] [Your framework Git URL]
pod repo push [your framework name] [your framework .podspec file name]

Answer 3

For me, the below worked well but first try could be direct "pod setup" command If that don't work then go for the below commands would definitely make things happen.

pod repo remove master
pod setup
pod install

Answer 4

I missed adding , causing issue.

Replacing,

pod 'PodName' '~> 2.3'

With,

pod 'PodName', '~> 2.3'

Did the job.

Answer 5

had the same problem.

what really worked for me was gem uninstall cocoapods (as mentioned above by https://stackoverflow.com/users/4264880/seema-sharma) where I found that I had 11 (!) different cocoapods versions installed.

I chose to uninstall all and then gem install cocoapods:1.4.0

All good now.

Make sure you added

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

at the very beginning of your Podfile
