I'm trying to update my cocoapods version used by flutter. I already upgraded cocoapods by running sudo gem install cocoapods.
When I run pod --version anywhere in the terminal it returns version 1.10.1 but when I run it inside my flutter ios project (path myProject/ios) it returns version 1.9.3 and also flutter doctor tells me that cocoapods is using version 1.9.3.
I also tried running brew update and brew upgrade cocoapods as well as brew link --overwrite cocoapods.
Can anybody tell me how to align the version used inside my flutter project with the globally (?) installed cocoapods version?
After trying all of the commands in the question I also ran sudo gem update --system in my projects\ios folder which finally solved the problem.
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Unless being out of date doesn't force like 800 compiler errors?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?
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.
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
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
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
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
I had to do this, was stuck on 1.9.1 on macOS
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
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.
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.
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
pod install
Very Smoot and Easy Solution
//MARK: -Latest stable version:
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
//MARK: -If not work then
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre -n /usr/local/bin
//MARK: - if upper command not works you can use below mention command as well!
brew install cocoapods
brew upgrade cocoapods
brew link cocoapods
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
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.
After trying all the steps above, with nothing working, I ran bundle update which seems to have done the trick for me.
Refer this link https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html
brew install cocoapods
brew upgrade cocoapods
brew link cocoapods
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.
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
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
write on your terminal this:
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
for update the gem of cocoapods to lastest version
First check cocoapods versionlike
pod --version
then update like
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
after update you can also check cocoapods version.
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.
on $pod install it gives warning & fails
The version of CocoaPods used to generate the lockfile (1.5.3) is higher than the version of the current executable (1.5.2)
What is it trying to say ?
macOs : 10.11.6 osx el capitan
my pod version is : 1.5.3
What does"current executable" (1.5.2) means ?
and
how to update it ?
The error you are getting is due to your podfile.lock being built with an older version of Cocoapods. All you need to do is to delete your podfile.lock file and run pod install. This will create a new podfile.lock, with your current dependencies. Note that it should not take too long because your files should already be downloaded, they just need to be linked in said file.
3 solution
deleted ios/podfile.lock and again do $pod install
OR
OS UPDATE
2.1 updated mac to high sierra or higher
2.2 update xcode
2.3 then update pod $sudo gem install cocoapods
2.4 then $cd ios
2.5 then $pod install
OR
do any thing to make version match, then only it will work
For those like me whose cocoapods version is 1.5.2, you can update cocoapods using
sudo gem install cocoapods
and the problem is solved
For checking pod version use
pod --version
For those for which cocoapods version is 1.5.3, you can delete podfile.lock and do pod install. However please note that if the version, of libraries used in your project, is not specified in podfile, then they will be automatically updated to latest vesrion.
$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods
you can update with this command
If you have tried the above methods and it doesn't work, then try this way:
gem update --system
$ sudo gem install cocoapods
you can solve
Is it possible to somehow specific the version of CocoaPods I'd like to use when upgrading or installing a Podfile? I've encountered several times where Podfiles work correctly with one version of CocoaPods but not with others.
For example, the syntax I'm looking for is like the following:
pod -v 0.34 install
Since CocoaPods is installed through RubyGems you can use their mechanisms for doing this. As outlined here you can do this:
pod _0.34.0_ install
You can verify this is working with:
pod _0.34.0_ --version
Also I would highly advise against doing this at all. I would definitely recommend you keep CocoaPods up to date and change your Podfile as needed to adapt to new versions. At anytime your old version could stop working as expected if we bump the minimum version number.
the ultimate solution:
run a bash script to completely uninstall your current verison (Optinal)
for i in $( gem list --local --no-version | grep cocoapods ); do
sudo gem uninstall $i;
done
sudo gem uninstall xcodeproj
install a specific verison of CocoaPod
gem install cocoapods -v 0.39.0
I am getting:
[!] The `master` repo requires CocoaPods 0.18.1 -
Update Cocoapods, or checkout the appropriate tag in the repo.
How to checkout cocoapods?
To update CocoaPods you can run:
$ [sudo] gem update cocoapods
If you would like to try a pre-release version of CocoaPods you can run:
$ [sudo] gem update cocoapods --pre
from here
I had a similar problem and upgrading to cocoapods 0.18.1 is not an option for me (at the moment).
In my case I wanted to stick with cocoapods 0.16.4. So, I double checked to make sure I was not using version 0.18.1.
$ pod --version
0.16.4
If you need to: uninstall any new version of cocoapods (when prompted select which version of cocoapods you want to uninstall):
$ sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
I then switch my local repository from the 'master' to the '0.16' tag. I will be downgrading to repo '0.16' because that is more inline with my version of cocoapods (0.16.4).
$ cd ~/.cocoapods/master/
$ git checkout 0.16
You should now be using repo '0.16' instead of the 'master'.
$ cd ~/.cocoapods/master && git branch
* 0.16
master
Finally, I had to clean up my XCode project workspace by completely re-installing my Pods.
$ cd to/your/project
$ rm -rf Pods/
$ rm Podfile.lock
$ pod install
Now, my cocoapod version matches my repo version. Note: You switched your local repository from the 'master'. You can always switch back to the 'master' repo using git checkout master.
All the other answers didn't help here. I'm no ruby expert, but I think my problem was, that I had 2 Ruby versions installed:
the one that comes with OS X
and one I had installed with rvm (Ruby Version Manager).
When I updated the gems, the wrong gems got updated. The symptom was, that the after the update the command line told me cocoapods was version 0.20.2, but when I did pod --version I got 0.16.0 back.
I guess this could have been corrected with a symlink cleanup at the wright place, but I decided to get rid of the second Ruby installation instead. I found a way to do it here - the answer of Erick.
After that I updated the cocoapod gem with sudo gem update --system, the the cocoapods with sudo gem install cocoapods. Now the pod install worked :-)
I hope the above makes sense. Please edit, if I'm wrong.
Try gem install cocoapods:1.1.1 --user-install
where replace 1.1.1 to your desired virsion
