Add Pod dependency with source to .podspec

Question

I am trying to add the following dependency to my Podspec

s.dependency 'Apollo/WebSocket', :git => 'https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios'

---

Here's what I get in my Terminal whenever I try to run pod lib lint MyPodName.podspec:

- ERROR | spec: The specification defined in `MyPodName.podspec` could not be loaded.


[!] Invalid `MyPodName.podspec` file: [!] Unsupported version requirements.

 #  from <PathToMyPodspec>/MyPodName.podspec:36
 #  -------------------------------------------
 #    
 >    s.dependency 'Apollo/WebSocket', :git => 'https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios'
 #    
 #  -------------------------------------------

I have successfully used it as a Pod in one of my iOS projects. But now that I am creating a pod myself, I am struggling to understand what I should do to make it work.

Thank you in advance!

It looks like it is not allowed to define dependency in PodSpec like this. Please refer CocoaPod guideline document on Dependency

It seems it should contain only version information like mentioned below. Other formats are not allowed.
