If you are seeing an error like the following:

diff: /../Podfile.lock: No such file or directory diff: /Manifest.lock: No such file or directory error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

Then there's a problem with Cocoapods in your project. Sometimes cocoapods can get out of sync and you need to re-initiate cocoapods. You should be able to resolve this error by:

1. Deleting the Podfile.lock file in your project folder
2. Deleting the Pods folder in your project folder
3. Execute 'pod install' in your project folder
4. Do a "Clean" in Xcode
5. Rebuild your project
