Pod install error

[sdespont]

Hello,

I am trying to install the framework using podfile as explained in the documentation, but I am getting this error :

[!] InvalidPodfilefile: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input.

My podfile is:

use_frameworks!
    pod 'iOSDFULibrary'
end

Any idea?

[mostafaberg]

Can you attach your Podfile here ? sometimes quotes display differently and are actually broken, you need to make sure they're actual single quotes and not the curled ones

[sdespont]

Sure, here is the zipped file :
Podfile.zip

This file has been created with TextWrangler in order to avoid "quotting" problem with TextEdit

Oh, my bad, just noticed a tiny mistake in the documentation, we missed out the target setting, will update the docs tomorrow !

your issue is that you're missing the target 'myApp' do in the beginning, so the Podfile looks like this:

use_frameworks!
target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'iOSDFULibrary'
end

Sorry about that mistake, let me know if this resolves your issue 👍

[sdespont]

Thanks, first time using CocoaPods for me, sorry for the dumb question.

Now, the error is the following :

Analyzing dependencies
[!] Unable to find a specification for `iOSDFULibrary`

Can you help me or give me a hint?

[mostafaberg]

No worries at all, if it can't find a specification for your app that means you probably have a deployment target we don't support, what's your deployment target in XCode ?

[sdespont]

IOS 9.2

How can I know supported deployment targets?

[mostafaberg]

What happens if you try to run this in your terminal ?

pod try iOSDFULibrary

are you able to build and run the example ?

Well that's interesting, I need to get a hold on a Mac to test this out, I haven't seen things go that way before, so I'll have to wait till tomorrow morning before I can be of any help.

I just made it to work and cannot seem to reproduce the issue, here's the output of a newly created project, made that Podfile in the project's root :

use_frameworks!
target 'dfuTesting' do
    pod 'iOSDFULibrary', '~> 0.1'
end

and here's the output of pod install

Maybe if you try to clear the caches ? try to rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods and see if that helps ?

[sdespont]

Thanks for your tests. Your assumptions was correct, clearing the cache permits to run successfully the command pod install 👍

[mostafaberg]

That's awesome !, Cocoapods can be tricky sometimes 👍 glad to hear it's resolved now, have a great day
