Could not add private pod as a dependency in other pod? - ios

Question

I am working on a private pod, and when I tried to add it as a dependency to another private pod I am getting this error while running "Pod Update":
[!] Error installing EEMyPod
[!] Attempt to read non existent folder `/Volumes/Development/Work/Projects/Pods/eagle-eye-ios-pod/Example/Pods/EEMyPod`.
I have no clue why this is happening!
But, while running:
pod spec lint
I am getting this:
Attempt to read non existent folder `/private/tmp/CocoaPods/Lint/Pods/EEMyPod`
which I think might be a clue.
This is my Podfile:
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = "EEMypod"
s.version = "0.1.0"
s.summary = "A short description of EEMypod."
s.description = <<-DESC
An optional longer description of EEMyPod
* Markdown format.
* Don't worry about the indent, we strip it!
DESC
s.homepage = "https://github.com/Codigami/EEMyPod"
# s.screenshots = "www.example.com/screenshots_1", "www.example.com/screenshots_2"
s.license = 'MIT'
s.author = { "Siddarth Chaturvedi" => "Email ID" }
s.source = { :git => "git#github.com:Codigami/EEMyPod.git", :tag => "0.1.0" }
# s.social_media_url = 'https://twitter.com/kidsid49'
s.platform = :ios, '7.0'
s.requires_arc = true
s.source_files = 'Pod/Classes/*.{h,m}'
s.resource_bundles = {
'AAFNetworking' => ['Pod/Assets/*.png']
}
# s.public_header_files = 'Pod/Classes/**/*.h'
# s.frameworks = 'UIKit', 'MapKit'
# s.dependency 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.3'
end

This sounds very likely that CocoaPods failed to download the dependency while linting the specification. If you run the command again with --verbose it will expose the underlying error from git while cloning the repository. It might be that the tag is missing for the dependency.
CocoaPods 0.35.0.rc2 was changed to provide a better error message (https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/2667).
