The file “Pods.xcconfig” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file

Question

How to solve this issue. I have downloaded the iOS project from the Git repo and when I try to build, it gives an error:

Check dependencies
The file “Pods.xcconfig” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file. (/Users/YoGesh/Desktop/Xy-3/Pods/Pods.xcconfig)

error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

Answer 1

I found a good hint inside the issues of CocoaPods on GitHub, try this:

1. Close your project (better close Xcode completely)
2. Open the Terminal inside your project and execute pod install
3. Open your project again. If there are still errors clean your project ( Shift + cmd + K ), after this the errors should be gone.

Answer 2

Restarting Xcode helped me. Pod update and install didn't help.

Answer 3

Go to your project directory from the terminal

run "pod update"

Answer 4

Hey i had this same problem, I was getting the following error when running pod update however i didn’t realise the update wasn’t working.

$ pod update

Analyzing dependencies /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/pathname.rb:422:in `open': No such file or directory

It was because I forgot to run "pod setup" after installing cocoapods. I ran pod setup from the terminal, followed it up with pod update (or pod install) and everything went to plan.
