I'm having problems with bots occasionally failing when building. A pre build action is used to install the pods, this works well some times. However when the integration fails it's because of this error:

Generating Pods project
Integrating client project
So my guess is that xcodebuld tries to read the Pods-project before it's done being generated.
Does this sound like a reasonable guess?
And would anyone know how to solve it?
EDIT Pre-action build script looks lie this
cd $SRCROOT
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
if [ -d Pods ]
then
echo "Updating Pods"
pod update
else
echo "Installing Pods"
pod install
I made the xCode server work with cocoapods pretty seamlessly, have a look at my article, it may help you.
I do the clean build every time with Pod install.
It maybe the reason.
