Unable to find a specification in CocoaPods

Question

I cannot understand why the Cocoapod is unable to find the pod specification I created when I run pod install. Could someone help me solve this trouble?

I'm defining a subspec in my library podspec file like this:

s.subspec 'mysubspec' do |c|
  c.dependency 'ABC','1.0.0'
end 

This dependency ABC is listed in the library Podfile:

pod 'ABC', :git => '[email protected]:myrepo/Podspecs.git', :branch => 'xyz'

The Podspec file ABC.podspec in the branch xyz of myrepo/Podspecs seems like this:

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
  s.name         = "ABC"
  s.version      = "1.0.0"
  s.source       = { :git => "[email protected]:myrepo/Podspecs.git", :branch => "xyz" }
end

The error is [!] Unable to find a specification for ABC (= 1.0.0)

Solution: import the pod ABC before importing the subspec and add the tag to the podspec.

Answer 1

I suppose that there is a problem with your pod master repo. Delete it and download it again.

You can do:

pod repo remove master
pod setup
pod install

Or:

sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
pod setup
pod install
