I am trying to use private repositories to break up a larger application. I have followed the guides at:
- http://www.objectpartners.com/2014/06/25/developing-private-in-house-libraries-with-cocoapods/
- http://guides.cocoapods.org/making/private-cocoapods.html
- How to add a private CocoaPod as a dependency in another pod .podspec (similar but a different problem)
I have created a local repository to contain the specs, published to cocoapods via
pod remote add MySpecs ~/local/path/to/MySpecs.git,
verified that cocoapods sees them by looking at the contents of ~/.cocoapods/repos/MySpecs
I have referenced PrivateSpec within PrivateClientSpec as follows:
s.dependency 'PrivateSpec' '~> 0.1.0'
The problem is that when I try to lint this PrivateClientSpec, I get the titular error:
Unable to find a specification for [PrivateSpec] depended upon by [PrivateClientSpec]
Am I missing something? From what I understand, this is supported behavior. I am using cocoapods v0.35.
Thanks!

The reason is that the pod spec linter is only checking the master specs, so it can't find your private one.
You'll need to use the --sources option, like this:
pod spec lint --sources='git@our-private-spec-repo:iOS/Specs.git,https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs'
Two things two note:
- Your private specs need to be online, can't check on a local one
- If you depend on other pods you'll need to add the URL for their Spec repo too, that's why in the example we have https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs too.
By running pod spec lint --help you can read more about this option:
--sources=https://github.com/artsy/Specs The sources from which to pull
dependant pods (defaults to
https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git).
Multiple sources must be
comma-delimited.

In order for pod install to work properly I still had to add:
source '<Prive specs lib URL>'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
..to the pod file (not podspec).
To get rid of:
Unable to find a specification for [PrivateSpec] depended upon by [PrivateClientSpec]
Then If you also failed to install with error like this
pod install --verbose

[!] Your Podfile has had smart quotes sanitised. To avoid issues in the future, you should not use TextEdit for editing it. If you are not using TextEdit, you should turn off smart quotes in your editor of choice.
Then you should try to update your CocoaPods version. This may help you: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39973232/3395008
In case mokagio's answer doesn't work for anyone, here is what worked for me:
Just change private repo url to https://
pod spec lint --sources='https://our-private-spec-repo:iOS/Specs.git,https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs'
In order for pod install to work properly I still had to add:
source '<Prive specs lib URL>'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
..to the pod file (not podspec).
