Unable to add a source with url `https://cdn.cocoapods.org/` named `trunk`

Question

I'm building an app with capacitor for ios. When I launch the command 'npx cap sync ios' (which launch pod install) and I get this error :

✖ Updating iOS native dependencies with "pod install" (may take several minutes): 
✖ update ios: 
[error] Error running update: Analyzing dependencies
Cloning spec repo `trunk` from `https://cdn.cocoapods.org/`
[!] Unable to add a source with url `https://cdn.cocoapods.org/` named `trunk`.
You can try adding it manually in `/Users/damien/.cocoapods/repos` or via `pod repo add`.

If i execute the recommandation :

pod repo add trunk https://cdn.cocoapods.org/

I get this error

[!] Repo name `trunk` is reserved for CocoaPods' main spec repo accessed via CDN.

I'm blocked on this issue since 6 hours. I read all post mentionning this error on internet.

Answer 1

You can restore trunk using:

pod repo add-cdn trunk https://cdn.cocoapods.org/

Answer 2

Temporary solution :

I added `source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' on the top of my Podfile

platform :ios, '11.0'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
use_frameworks!
....

But it takes 30 minutes to download all the repo (2.5gb) in my Users/damien/.cocoapods/repos/ folder 🤯

Answer 3

Another way you can get it working locally since this CDN is an issue

pod repo remove trunk

In Podfile

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

# source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'
