Error using Pod Install command on Podfile in Terminal

Question

I have installed Cocoapods, and created a Podfile using Atom containing the following lines:

pod ‘Parse’, ‘~> 1.7.1′
pod ‘ParseUI’, ‘~> 1.1.3′
<         


        

Answer 1

I had this problem because of using one smart quote in a comment in podfile. I couldn't find a smart quote in my podfile for a while. There are two symbols for smart quotes: ‘ and ’. Make sure both are removed from whole podfile.
