Cocoapods: Failed to connect to GitHub to update the CocoaPods/Specs specs repo

Question

When running pod repo update the following error is generated:

Updating spec repo `master`
[!] Failed to connect to GitHub to update the CocoaPo         


        

Answer 1

You can try this:

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

but in my case I had to:

• delete the Podfile.lock and then

• $pod install
