How to add a fork repository to "s.dependency" attribute in .podspec file of a CocoaPod?

Question

I have been working on a AFNetworking forked repository and wants to add to my private pod. I am doing something like this.

s.dependency 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.3' , :git => 'https://github.com/Codigami/AFNetworking.git', :commit => '9f9f4fe5b5959e0f2ea89e472eccf7aea6f37eea'

While doing

pod install 

in terminal I am getting

[!] Invalid `ios-authentication-pod.podspec` file: [!] Unsupported version requirements. Updating CocoaPods might fix the issue.

on the other hand I tried to add this in a new project podfile using this.

pod 'AFNetworking', :git => 'https://github.com/Codigami/AFNetworking.git', :commit => '9f9f4fe5b5959e0f2ea89e472eccf7aea6f37eea'

This works. I didn't able to understand what the issue in above case?

Answer 1

http://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podspec.html#dependency there is no :git and :commit options in podspec dependency specifier. You might be able to create your own private spec repo and put AFNetworking podspec there pointing with s.source to specific location.
