Updating to latest version of CocoaPods?

Question

I\'m having some issues installing Alamofire 4.0 into my project.

I\'ve got the latest version of Xcode, running Swift 3

Answer 1

Execute the following on your terminal to get the latest stable version:

sudo gem install cocoapods

Add --pre to get the latest pre release:

sudo gem install cocoapods --pre

If you originally installed the cocoapods gem using sudo, you should use that command again.

Later on, when you're actively using CocoaPods by installing pods, you will be notified when new versions become available with a CocoaPods X.X.X is now available, please update message.

Answer 2

Below are steps to update cocoapods :

1. Open terminal (Shortcut : Press cmd + space tab to open Spotlight then text in terminal)
2. Use command sudo gem install cocoapods. This will ask for system password due to security concern thereafter it installs gems

3. Now, set up pod using pod setup command. This will setup cocoapods master repo.

4. You can check the version of cocoapods using pod --version command.

Answer 3

If you are using Homebrew, open terminal and type:

brew upgrade cocoapods

If that does not work, try:

brew install cocoapods

Answer 4

This is a really quick & detailed solution

Open the Terminal and execute the following to get the latest stable version:

sudo gem install cocoapods

Add --pre to get the latest pre release:

sudo gem install cocoapods --pre

Incase any error occured

Try uninstall and install again:

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods

Run after updating CocoaPods

sudo gem clean cocoapods

After updating CocoaPods, also need to update Podfile.lock file in your project.

Go to your project directory

pod install

I change the line "pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.0'" to "pod 'Alamofire', :git => 'https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire', :commit => '3cc5b4e'" after that in terminal: "pod install --repo-update" and it works.

Non of the above solved my problem, you can check pod version using two commands

1. pod --version
2. gem which cocoapods

In my case pod --version always showed "1.5.0" while gem which cocopods shows Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0/gems/cocoapods-1.9.0/lib/cocoapods.rb. I tried every thing but unable to update version showed from pod --version. sudo gem install cocopods result in installing latest version but pod --version always showing previous version. Finally I tried these commands

1. sudo gem update
2. sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
3. sudo gem install cocopods
4. pod setup``pod install

catch for me was sudo gem update. Hopefully it will help any body else.
