Cocoapods setup stuck on pod setup command on terminal

Question

MacBook-Pro:~ skbc$ pod setup --verbose
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/universal-darwin13/rbconfig.rb:212: warning: Insecu         


        

Answer 1

To execute it, you must pay attention in your Internet connection... if it fails for a sec, the command won't continue, but terminal won't tell you what's happening. If the command fails, continue trying... worked for me! I've used that command!

$ git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git ~/.cocoapods/repos/master

Answer 2

I had the same problem with pod install and pod update.

The problem is that after executing any of these two commands. A process called git-remote-http in monitor activity shows that something is being downloaded. This has been an existing issue with pods and an issue has opened on github. I've tried a lot of the recommended solutions. I was finally able to install the firebase cocoapod on my project.

Go to

~/.cocoapods/repos

if there is a master file here, you will need to delete it.

You can do something like

sudo rm -R -i yourmasterdirectory 

do pwd ... you should still be in ~/.cocoapods/repos

if the above did not work try

pod repo remove master

Once you have done this run

git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git master

the next thing you need to do is to is run git fetch --depth=2147483647 - this will convert your local repository of Podspecs to be a full clone as noted here:

pod install and pod update should work fast as expected.

Answer 3

The time required for Pod setup depends on your Internet connection speed. You can check Activity Monitor application regarding this.

It is recommended to use pod setup --verbose command instead of pod setup.

This verbose helps you to see detailed stats while pod is being setup.

Answer 4

It is not stuck. I thought the same until I went to the "Activity Monitor" of the system and checked the "Network" tab.

Then you will see that something is being downloaded. A process called git-remote-http is in charge of this.

Just wait! It happened the same for me :)

Good luck!

Answer 5

To get a progression, you can clone master yourself:

pod repo remove master
git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
pod setup

Answer 6

I think you need to follow the steps to get rid of the situation and also add --verbose to check whats is happening in front of each command eg:

$ pod setup --verbose

• pod repo remove master
• pod setup
• pod install
