Cocoapods behaving awkwardly [duplicate] - ios

Question

I'm having some issues installing Alamofire 4.0 into my project.
I've got the latest version of Xcode, running Swift 3, and when I try to install alamofire I'm getting like 800 compiler errors.
Apparently
CocoaPods 1.1.0+ is required to build Alamofire 4.0.0+
[!] some_cocoapod requires CocoaPods version >= X.Y.Z, which is not satisfied by your current version, Z.Y.X.
I looked at the version of CocoaPods I have in terminal and it says I'm at 1.0.1.
Running an update didn't work I guess because CocoaPods 1.1 is in beta.
So I'm not exactly sure how to update it up to where I'm good to go.
Unless being out of date doesn't force like 800 compiler errors? Does that sound like some other issue?

Answer 1

Execute the following on your terminal to get the latest stable version:
sudo gem install cocoapods
Add --pre to get the latest pre release:
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
If you originally installed the cocoapods gem using sudo, you should use that command again.
Later on, when you're actively using CocoaPods by installing pods, you will be notified when new versions become available with a CocoaPods X.X.X is now available, please update message.

Answer 2

Open the Terminal -> copy below command
sudo gem install cocoapods
It will install the latest stable version of cocoapods.
after that, you need to update pod using below command
pod setup
You can check pod version using below command
pod --version

Answer 3

If you got System Integrity Protection enabled or any other permission write error, which is enabled by default since macOS Sierra release, you should update CocoaPods, running this line in terminal:
sudo gem install cocoapods -n/usr/local/bin
After installing, check your pod version:
pod --version
You will get rid of this error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /usr/bin directory
And it will install latest CocoaPods:
Successfully installed cocoapods-x.x.x
Parsing documentation for cocoapods-x.x.x
Installing ri documentation for cocoapods-x.x.x
Done installing documentation for cocoapods after 4 seconds
1 gem installed

Answer 4

If you are using Homebrew, open terminal and type:
brew upgrade cocoapods
If that does not work, try:
brew install cocoapods
After that, run:
brew link --overwrite cocoapods

Answer 5

For those with a sudo-less CocoaPods installation (i.e., you do not want to grant RubyGems admin privileges), you don't need the sudo command to update your CocoaPods installation at all:
gem install cocoapods
You can find out where the CocoaPods gem is installed with:
gem which cocoapods
If this is within your home directory, you should definitely run gem install cocoapods without using sudo.
Finally, to check which CocoaPods you are currently running type:
pod --version

Answer 6

I had to do this, was stuck on 1.9.1 on macOS
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

Answer 7

Below are steps to update cocoapods :
Open terminal (Shortcut : Press cmd + space tab to open Spotlight then text in terminal)
Use command sudo gem install cocoapods. This will ask for system password due to security concern thereafter it installs gems
Now, set up pod using pod setup command. This will setup cocoapods master repo.
You can check the version of cocoapods using pod --version command.

Answer 8

Non of the above solved my problem, you can check pod version using two commands:
pod --version
gem which cocoapods
In my case pod --version always showed "1.5.0" while gem which cocopods shows
Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0/gems/cocoapods-1.9.0/lib/cocoapods.rb. I tried every thing but unable to update version showed from pod --version. sudo gem install cocopods result in installing latest version but pod --version always showing previous version. Finally I tried these commands:
sudo gem update
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods
pod setup``pod install
The catch for me was sudo gem update. Hopefully it will help any body else.

Answer 9

You can solve this problem by these Commands:
First:
sudo gem install cocoapods
Desp: type user mac password now your cocoapods will be replace with a stable version.
You can find out where the CocoaPods gem is installed with:
gem which cocoapods
if you have cloned the repo then type this command:
pod repo update
close your xcode and run this command
Pod install

This is a really quick & detailed solution
Open the Terminal and execute the following to get the latest stable version:
sudo gem install cocoapods
Add --pre to get the latest pre release:
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
Incase any error occured
Try uninstall and install again:
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods
Run after updating CocoaPods
sudo gem clean cocoapods
After updating CocoaPods, also need to update Podfile.lock file in your project.
Go to your project directory

If this
sudo gem install cocoapods
gives you this error:
Could not find a valid gem 'cocoapods' (>= 0) in any repository
Try this:
sudo gem install cocoapods --source http://rubygems.org

Answer 13

I tried updating and it didn't work. Finally , I had to completely remove (manually )cocoapods, cocoapods-core , cocoapods-try.. and any other package used by cocoapods. Use this terminal command to list all the packages:
gem list --local | grep cocoapods
After that , I also deleted ./cocoapods folder from the user's root folder.

Answer 14

After trying all the steps above, with nothing working, I ran bundle update which seems to have done the trick for me.

Answer 15

Refer this link https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html
brew install cocoapods
brew upgrade cocoapods
brew link cocoapods

Answer 16

I have the problem in myproject when pod version and gem which cocoapods always return difference version.
All I had to do is remove Gemfile.lock in my project and bundle install again. It removed the locked cocoapods version and install a newer one.
Hope that helps some one here.

Answer 17

On my M1 Mac, I had a separate version of Homebrew installed for the Silicon/Arm64 side.
brew upgrade cocoapods was defaulting to a rosetta install of homebrew. I kept running it, and couldn't figure out why cocoapods was not updating. So I had to run it in a way that targets the M1 side of things instead of Rosetta.
I had previously aliased the Arm brew to mbrew. So I had to run mbrew upgrade cocoapods

Answer 18

If you updated sudo gem install cocoapods but it's still showing the old version you just need to type bundle update in your terminal to update the bundle and pod --version will show the newest version you installed

Answer 19

sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
for update the gem of cocoapods to lastest version

Answer 20

First check cocoapods versionlike
pod --version
then update like
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
after update you can also check cocoapods version.

Answer 21

I change the line "pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.0'" to "pod 'Alamofire', :git => 'https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire', :commit => '3cc5b4e'" after that in terminal: "pod install --repo-update" and it works.
