pod install failed with error: Library (from `../`)` required by `Podfile` when pod install in iOS

Question

I am making a cocoapods. I am using pod lib create MyLibrary to create a new cocoapods. After it's done, I added two files into MyLibrary/Pod/Classes/. And I commit and add a tag and then push to origin master. and the MyLibrary.podspec passed validation. So, I go into the Example folder which created when I do pod lib create MyLibrary. and do a pod install in the terminal. But I am getting error:

Analyzing dependencies
Fetching podspec for `MyLibrary` from `../`
[!] Unable to satisfy the following requirements:

- `MyLibrary (from `../`)` required by `Podfile`

The podspec settings are all correct, like this one s.source_files = 'Pod/Classes/*.{h,m}', and it passed the validation. So I think there is no problem with pod spec file. It seems the pod installation can't find the Pod folder. But it is right there.

I am new to this making cocoapods. So if there is anything that not clear, please let me know. I don't know what I am doing wrong here.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I have been able to solve it following this steps:

• Update cocoapod
• Remove Podfile.lock
• Installing again

Commands:

$> sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
$> rm Podfile.lock
$> pod install

Maybe some are not necessary, but it worked for me (I think that the most important is to remove the Podfile.lock). I hope you can solve it too.
