The file “Pods.xcconfig” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file

Question

How to solve this issue. I have downloaded the iOS project from the Git repo and when I try to build, it gives an error:

Check dependencies
The file “Pods.xcconfig” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file. (/Users/YoGesh/Desktop/Xy-3/Pods/Pods.xcconfig)

Answer 1

Restarting Xcode helped me. Pod update and install didn't help.

Answer 2

I found a good hint inside the issues of CocoaPods on GitHub, try this:

1. Close your project (better close Xcode completely)
2. Open the Terminal inside your project and execute pod install
3. Open your project again. If there are still errors clean your project ( Shift + cmd + K ), after this the errors should be gone.

Answer 3

Go to your project directory from the terminal

run "pod update"

Answer 4

Hey i had this same problem, I was getting the following error when running pod update however i didn’t realise the update wasn’t working.

$ pod update

Analyzing dependencies /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/pathname.rb:422:in `open': No such file or directory

It was because I forgot to run "pod setup" after installing cocoapods. I ran pod setup from the terminal, followed it up with pod update (or pod install) and everything went to plan.

Answer 5

Closing Xcode, pod update and pod install didn't help me.
I just ran the install cocoapods command again:

sudo gem install cocoapods

If you see error:

You don't have write permissions for the /usr/bin directory

Use next command:

sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin

Answer 6

You may be using the Xcode default project file. After installing the framework through pod, you must use the generated xcworkspace in the project folder.

Example : SampleProject.xcworkspace.

Answer 7

For those who want to solve this issue and tried to remove the cocoa pods from the project: 1. Open the project, on the left side there must be a folder named Pods 2. Delete the folder and the problem will be solved !!! Do not do this if you need cocoa pods

Answer 8

I've experience a similar situation, for me, it's an error stop all the pods to be updated when I ran pod update.

Try to resolve the error and run pod update again, clean your project then try to build again.

Answer 9

I Tried pod update command in terminal for the project, it did not fix the issue.

then I Tried pod install command for the same project, it installed all the pod dependencies and the project got indexed and all those type of issues got fixed.

Answer 10
