Error on “sudo pod install”

Question

I already have one project working with a podfile.

I wanted to add a Podfile on an old project but I got this error on sudo pod install

Error:

Answer 1

If you're seeing an error like this, it might be because CocoaPods had to force-push their repo. They suggest:

pod repo remove master
pod setup

Answer 2

From the command line run rm -rf ~/.cocoapods

Then run pod install again. You shouldn't need the sudo.

This look like it's caused because there was a change to a spec and it's conflicting with running a git pull
