Pod Install: Unable to find source ref for target

In macOS terminal I keep getting the [!] Unable to find source ref ... error message whenever I try to run pod install for any Xcode project. I have installed CocoaPods.

Full Error Message Examples:

  1. [!] Unable to find source ref for CLTypingLabel.swift for target CLTypingLabel.

  2. [!] Unable to find source ref for SVIndefiniteAnimatedView.m for target SVProgressHUD

  3. [!] Unable to find source ref for NSButton+WebCache.m for target SDWebImage.

podfile:

platform :ios, '13.0'

target 'Myapp iOS13' do
     use_frameworks!

  pod 'CLTypingLabel'

end
Solution

  • I figured out how to get CocoaPods working! It seems there might be an issue installing pods on a secondary macbook account even though the account has full admin privileges. I logged into the primary or initial account created on the macbook, installed CocoaPods and pod install was able to install dependencies. I will also need to work on my project on the primary account instead.
