Unable to add a source with url

Question

[!] Unable to add a source with url git@github.com:CocoaPods/Specs.git named master-1. You can try adding it manually in ~/.cocoapods/repos

Answer 1

You need to have access to the pod spec repo first. For me I wasn't having access.So this issue happened.

Answer 2

I had the same problem , actually the problem was that command line was not able to find a path to my Xcode. Therefore the simplest solution that i found was to give a suitable location of xcode.

For it:

1. Go to Xcode > Preferences
2. Choose Location tab
3. Select the Xcode in Command Line tools:-

thats it. I hope that works for you. All the best

Answer 3

1. $ cd /Users/username/.cocoapods/repos
2. remove folder master if it exists
   rm -rf master
$ git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git master
3. pod setup

that's all.

Answer 4

Meet the same error and I have solved it by :

1. Open your terminal
2. Go to the directory    : cd /User/YOUR_NAME/.cocoapods/repos/
3. remove the master file : rm -rf master
4. Clone the CocoaPods    : git clone https://git.coding.net/CocoaPods/Specs.git ~/.cocoapods/repos/master

Note. I add the target path ~/.cocoapods/repos/master to avoid the mistake that your current file path is not ~/.cocoapods/repos/master

5. Run the setup          : pod setup 

Answer 5

Please Follow this steps:

Open Terminal

1] sudo xcode-select -r

2] Xcode-->Preferences-->Locations-->Command line tool --> set your Current Xcode Version.

3] Edit Podfile and save

4] pod install

Thats it.

Answer 6

I was getting the same error with only difference that there was different URL. I was trying to install private pods from private repository. What helped is to add ssh-key to profile.

1. Generate ssh-key using this guide: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/. Hope this helps.
2. Add it in your profile settings on Bitbucket(or Github or whatever you are using)
