Multiple Private repo cocoapods

Question

I have a private repo lets say 'A' which has some public pods dependencies like AFNetworking and so on. I created a pod spec file for this 'A' and used it in another library project 'B', everything worked fine and library project compiled.

Now I also want to use 'B' (which is also a private repo) in my project I created pod spec file for 'B' and included the only dependency 'A' in it. Did same with Pod file included 'A' as dependency like

pod 'A', :git => 'https://github.com/privateRepo/A.git', :tag => 'v1.0.0'

and in podspec file like

s.dependency     'A', :git => 'https://github.com/privateRepo/A.git', :tag => 'v1.0.0'

When I do pod spec lint . I get

 -> B.podspec
- ERROR | [spec] The specification defined in `B.podspec` could not be loaded.


[!] Invalid `B.podspec` file: [!] Unsupported version requirements. Updating CocoaPods might fix the issue.
#  from B.podspec:18
 #  -------------------------------------------
 #  # Dependencies
 >    s.dependency     'A', :git => 'https://github.com/privateRepo/A.git', :tag => 'v1.0.0'
 #  
 #  -------------------------------------------

from pods --version my cocoapod version is 0.33.1

From this post I think its not possible to do that in cocoapods. Can anybody please help! Thanks

Cocoapods does not support dependency from git repo, you must push 'A' to your Private Spec Repo, and set dependency in your B.podspec:

s.dependency 'A', "~> 1.0"

Then lint with --sources

pod spec lint B.podspec --sources=PrivateSpecRepoNameOrGitURL,master
