Cocoapods "pod update" installs old pods

Question

I am trying to set up CI on Xcode Server by creating a bot for an iOS app. I use CocoaPods so I'm using the script below to install the pods:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 #!/bin/bash cd "$XCS_SOURCE_DIR/{PROJECTNAME}" if [ -e "Pods" ] then /usr/local/bin/pod update else /usr/local/bin/pod install fi 

The current version of CocoaPods 0.39.0 is installed on the server. When I run "pod update" on the server everything is alright and the newest pods are installed.

Using FBAudienceNetwork (4.7.0) Using FBSDKCoreKit (4.8.0) Using Fabric (1.6.1) Using FyberSDK (8.1.2) Using Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK (7.6.0) Using GoogleAnalytics (3.14.0) 

When I use the script above however something strange happens.

Installing FBAudienceNetwork (4.1.0) Installing FBSDKCoreKit (4.4.0) Installing Fabric (1.2.8) Installing FyberSDK (7.2.4) Installing Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK (7.3.1) Installing GoogleAnalytics (3.13.0) 

Anyone has any idea why old versions are installed with the script? I use OS X Server 5.0.15 and Xcode 7.2.

The podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'  platform :ios, "8.0" use_frameworks!  target "{PROJECTNAME}" do     inhibit_all_warnings!      pod 'AFNetworking'     pod 'Branch'     pod 'SwrveSDK'     pod 'RealmSwift'     pod 'MZTimerLabel'     pod 'pop'      pod 'Adjust'     pod 'JSQMessagesViewController'     pod 'Fabric'     pod 'Crashlytics'     pod 'GoogleAnalytics'     pod 'FBSDKCoreKit'     pod 'FyberSDK'     pod 'AdColony'     pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'     pod 'ChartboostSDK'     pod 'FBAudienceNetwork'     pod 'VungleSDK-iOS' end  target "{PROJECTNAME}Tests" do     inhibit_all_warnings!      pod 'AFNetworking'     pod 'Branch'     pod 'SwrveSDK'     pod 'RealmSwift'     pod 'MZTimerLabel'     pod 'pop'     pod 'Adjust'     pod 'JSQMessagesViewController'     pod 'Fabric'     pod 'Crashlytics'     pod 'GoogleAnalytics'     pod 'FBSDKCoreKit'     pod 'FyberSDK'     pod 'AdColony'     pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'     pod 'ChartboostSDK'     pod 'FBAudienceNetwork' end  post_install do |installer|     installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|         target.build_configurations.each do |config|             config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'         end     end end

I've got it working now! I didn't know about the _xcsbuildd user which does the builds. I found more about this here: https://honzadvorsky.com/articles/2015-08-17-17-30-xcode_server_tutorials_3_prebuild__postbuild_scripts/

So after logging in as this user I saw the same problem in the terminal on the server. Old versions of the pods were downloaded. The master repository of CocoaPods has some error, so I did

rm -rf ~/.cocoapods/repos/master 

Then I ran

pod setup --verbose 

And the master repository with the Cocoapods specs was installed again. Now it works!
