podfile gives an error on install

Question

I cloned a repo from git. Then removed the .git and .gitignore. The podFile looks like

platform :ios, '6.1'  pod 'AFNetworking', '~>1.3.3' pod 'AFOAuth1Client' 

After "pod install" I get the following errors:

Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>'  as appropriate to mark resolution, or use 'git commit -a'. 

Answer 1

A bug was found in libgit2 and they had to execute a force push on the specs repo. This is what broke everyone's CocoaPods setup.

You can find the official post about this issue on the CocoaPods blog : http://blog.cocoapods.org/Repairing-Our-Broken-Specs-Repository/

The recommended way to fix your setup is to execute the following commands :

$ pod repo remove master $ pod setup 

If that doesn't work, you can also delete manually all your cached specs :

$ rm -rf ~/.cocoapods/ $ pod setup

Take a look up the quick fix here ! https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs/issues/1268

rm -rf ~/.cocoapods/
