How do I use source in podfile?

Question

I'm new to ios development. For some reason I need to manually set podfile for my Cordova app. There are GoogleCloudMessaging and GGLInstanceID in my podfile, now I want to install a brightcove video player library, the source is https://github.com/brightcove/BrightcoveSpecs.git. However when I add the source on the top of podfile, it seems cocoapods also try to install GoogleCloudMessaging from that source.

My podfile:

source 'https://github.com/brightcove/BrightcoveSpecs.git'

use_frameworks!

platform :ios, '8.0'

target 'myapp' do
    pod 'Brightcove-Player-Core/dynamic'
    pod 'GoogleCloudMessaging'
    pod 'GGLInstanceID'
end

Error:

Analyzing dependencies
[!] Unable to find a specification for `GoogleCloudMessaging`

Answer 1

You need to include the official CocoaPods source: https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git

Docs:

The official CocoaPods source is implicit. Once you specify another source, then it will need to be included.

So your file should work like this I believe:

source 'https://github.com/brightcove/BrightcoveSpecs.git'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

use_frameworks!

platform :ios, '8.0'

target 'myapp' do
    pod 'Brightcove-Player-Core/dynamic'
    pod 'GoogleCloudMessaging'
    pod 'GGLInstanceID'
end

Try by giving like:

 pod "Brightcove-Player-FreeWheel", :git => 'https://github.com/brightcove/BrightcoveSpecs.git'
