No idea why i got a error Writing Xcode project file to Pods/Pods.xcodeproj. I've tried reinstall cocoa pods, but not succeed.

I'm kind of noob with iOS development, so any tips would be nice.

Answer 1

Seems to be an issue with project serialization with Xcode 7. Cocoapods relies on xcodeproj, which has a bug with the latest betas. They've put out a quick release to address the issue. Run this in the terminal:

gem install xcodeproj -v 0.24.3

(may have to sudo that)

Answer 2

I was having this problem working with Xcode 7 beta 2. Setting xcode-select back to the released version of Xcode helped me.

Try running this in terminal:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Then try your CocoaPods install again:

pod install

I then had no problems going back to the Xcode beta with this command:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer
