Answer 1

Alright,

I had the same issue. Tried to install pods to my project but never worked out. I updated Xcode, Updated Command Line tools, reinstalled cocoapods... almost everything.

Sitting on my ass , writing pod in terminal showed up a screen listing available commands.

I read all of them and noticed the command

pod setup

which does

+ setup               Setup the CocoaPods environment

After this line of code, my problem was fixed.

I hope my solution help other people in trouble like me.
