I am trying to add a pod to my Xcode project. I am getting this error:

Answer 1

if you are using 10.10 and are seeing this error (/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:) try this

Open Xcode 6 > Preferences > Locations
Command Line Tools version to Xcode 6.0
Uninstall cocoapods/xcodeproj then re-install.

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem uninstall xcodeproj
sudo gem install xcodeproj
sudo gem install cocoapods

pod --version 

Answer 2

Finally found a solution: I'm running old Xcode4 and new Xcode5 in same machine with same projects. At some point I seem to have lost command line tools (and iPhone5 simulator).

Reinstalling command line tools solved the problem for me. Since Xcode 4.6.3 menu item Xcode - Preferences - Downloads - Components didn't have command-line tools any more for unknown reasons, here is another way to install them:

xcode-select --install

--install
          Opens a user interface dialog to request automatic installation of the
          command line developer tools.

Now running "pod install" worked just fine.

Answer 3

After upgrading from macOS 10.8 to 10.9 the installed CocoaPods gem doesn’t work anymore, even after re-installing the gem. To solve this, you might need to uninstall the gem first and then re-install.

1. $ gem uninstall cocoapods
2. $ gem install cocoapods

Answer 4

I also was seeing this. Running this fixed the issue:

sudo gem install cocoapods && pod install

Answer 5

Files added in the pods but their reference is not considered until you run the command pod install. Just runt the bellow command:

pod install
