Helpshift failing to install from Cocoapods


Whenever I try to install Helpshift from CocoaPods with pod install or pod update it fails because the Cloudfront host can't be reached. Is it down? All the other packages in my Podfile seem to install fine.

I have pod 'Helpshift', '~>4.8.0' specified in my Podfile. Could this be a problem as I notice there is no 4.8.0 version listed on the CocoaPods page for Helpshift? I don't think this matters as pod install also fails if I specify that I want version 4.9.1.

Here's the error message I get after trying to run pod install:
