We have a private git repo that has shared framework for mobile apps, let's call it mobilesdk. Recently a new dev joined the team, and when she is setting up the repo pod install & pod update mobilesdk are getting stuck at the following step:
Pre-downloading: `mobilesdk` from `https://github.companyurl.com/mobileFramework/mobilesdk.git`, branch `release/0.9`
pod inclusion:
pod 'mobilesdk', :git => "https://github.companyurl.com/mobileframework/mobilesdk.git", :branch => "release/0.9"
"pod env"
CocoaPods : 1.1.1
Ruby : ruby 2.2.5p319
RubyGems : 2.4.5.1
Host : Mac OS X 10.11.6
Xcode : 8.0 (8A218a)
Git : git version 2.8.4 (Apple Git-73)
Answers on related question doesn't help: How to fix 'pod update' getting stuck on a private pod?
Tried changing SSH vs HTTPS; It didn't fix it. Also, it's not really an option as pod install works for existing devs, and this issue is local to her machine/setup. https://help.github.com/enterprise/2.9/user/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use/
How to get past this private-pod install step and debug it?
Deleting cocoapods cache fixed the issue
rm -rf "${HOME}/Library/Caches/CocoaPods"
rm -rf "`pwd`/Pods/"
bundle exec pod install
Other details:
I took following steps to debug it:
A) Remove unsupported or untested cocoapods gems. Earlier, there were multiple versions of cocoapods on the system. Existing developers are using v1.2.1, so removed other versions.
pod --version
1.5
1.2.1
1.1.1
..
used gem uninstall cocoapods.
This didn't fix the issue.
B) Tried pod repo update.
C) Removed Cached pods & local pods and did pod install, and it completed successfully.
rm -rf "${HOME}/Library/Caches/CocoaPods"
rm -rf "`pwd`/Pods/"
bundle exec pod install
