Could not automatically select an Xcode project

Question

When i type \"pod install\" in a correct directory I always get this

Analyzing dependencies

[!] Could not automatically select an Xcode project. Specify          


        

Answer 1

I solved the problem as follows new Podfile

pod init
pod install

Answer 2

I had my project stored in the Icloud and when I moved it to my desktop, the terminal found the project and allowed me to install the POD.

Answer 3

I had this issue when I accidentally deleted '.xcodeproj' file.

Answer 4

This happened to me, I had my "podfile" in the subfolder and not the main directory, e.g., ~/MyProject/MyProject/podfile instead of ~/Myproject/podfile

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

You should specific project path inside pod file

platform :ios, '8.0'
   use_frameworks!

   project 'PATH_TO_PROJECT/YOUR_PROJECT_NAME.xcodeproj'
    target 'Posting' do
    pod 'ALCameraViewController'

end

Answer 6

For me below solution worked

Since Podfile and .xcodeproj is at same level, I added project 'oceanview.xcodeproj' at top of the file.

So my podfile looks like below,

platform :ios, '9.0'
project 'abc.xcodeproj' #added this line
target 'abc' do
end

then run command pod install
