when running pod install I get The `master` repo requires CocoaPods 0.32.1, try updating but still in 0.31

Question

Iam trying to install cocoa pods in a xcode project, but when doing:

$ pod install

I get the following error:

Setting up CocoaPods master repo
[!] The `master` repo requires CocoaPods 0.32.1 - 
Update CocoaPods, or checkout the appropriate tag in the repo.
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/claide-0.5.0/lib/claide/command.rb:281:in `rescue in run': undefined method `verbose?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

So I updated cocoapods

$ sudo gem update cocoapods

But it tells me there is nothing to update:

Password:
Updating installed gems
Nothing to update

run pod --version

but I get:

 0.31.0

What could it be? Why it is not updating to the latest version (.32.1)?

Answer 1

To update cocoapods just do

sudo gem install cocoapods

and then you should be at the correct version

Answer 2

This is what worked for me.

1. Uninstall CocoaPods (choose to uninstall all versions):

   sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

2. Remove old master repo:

   sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master

3. Install CocoaPods without sudo:

   gem install --user-install cocoapods

4. Setup CocoaPods and Master repo:

   pod setup

NOTE: Step 3 is going to make sure you install pod under your user name instead of root which sudo does.

Answer 3

To update the version you must reinstall cocoapods:

sudo gem install cocoapods

The next step is You are going to Have to manually delete any copies of the Specs Local repository and re-clone the new version of the repository Specs. You can do that With the Following commands:

sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
pod setup

Finally:

pod install

Answer 4

that's what worked for me:

1. Uninstall CocoaPods (choose to uninstall all versions):

   sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

2. Remove old master repo:

   sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master

3. Update gems as user installed:

   sudo gem update --system --user-install

4. Add local gem path:

   echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/Users/%username%/.gem/ruby/2.0.0/bin"' >> ~/.bash_login

5. Install CocoaPods without sudo:

   gem install --user-install cocoapods

6. Setup CocoaPods and Master repo:

   pod setup

make sure you are not running no-sudo commands from sudo terminal window/tab and relaunch or add new tap after exporting path

Answer 5

I had the same issue. I tried

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

and then

sudo gem install cocoapods

but it wasn't working. It finally worked when I restarted Terminal after the uninstall. Then the install worked.
