I'm cloning a project from a git repo, but when I execute pod install the first line I see is "Setting up CocoaPods Master repo" and after that I can't see anything more, the console stops there.
I don't know what is happening. Anyone knows what's happening here? Why Does CocoaPods stop there?
This question is related to
ios
objective-c
git
cocoapods
pod-install
The answer is
Nothing above worked for me, so this is what worked:
pod setup
Ctrl +C
pod repo remove master
cd ~/.cocoapods/repos
git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs master
Once completed it worked.
Cheers!
I'm monitoring the download progress by using
while true;
do
du -sh ~/.cocoapods/;
sleep 3;
done
the progress is very slow... and failed few times.
But somehow after increasing the git buffer limit by using this command line git config --global http.postBuffer 2M The download speed is improving greatly and after downloading in total 347 Mb on ./cocoapods folder, the progress seems to stop and network activity is also stopping.
but after waiting few minutes, turn out that cocoapod is verifying and extracting the repo and makes the total size up to 853 Mb.
notes: I'm doing it on 23 Oct 2016.
The issue is that you haven't got command line tools installed, I believe. Try run in terminal:
sudo gem update --system
after that download command line tools from Apple just search for 'Command Line Tools' and download the right version for your OS. Once you install it run in terminal:
sudo gem install cocoapods
pod setup
None of the solutions above worked for me, I had to uninstall coacoapods, then installed a specific version before everything worked for me
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
then
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.7.5
now even verbose shows progress
$ pod setup --verbose
Setting up CocoaPods master repo
Cloning spec repo `master` from `https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git` (branch `master`)
$ /usr/bin/git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git --progress -- master
Cloning into 'master'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 295, done.

pod install or pod setup fetches whole repo with history when you first time run it. You don't need that commit history.
pod setup
Ctrl +C
cd ~/.cocoapods/repos
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git master
It takes around 2 mins on decent network connection (4Mbps). master directory is around 519M big.
pod setup --verbose
I am running the above mentioned command right now but as mentioned by @Joe Blow, it shows absolutely no information on the progress.
But if you open the Activity Monitor on Mac (Task Manager on Windows?), under the 'Network' tab you will see a process named 'git-remote-https' and it shows the size of 'Received Bytes' increasing. After downloading about 300MB it stopped and then I could see further progress in the Terminal window.
pod setup works and should only take 10 mins on a solid connection. After that run: pod install --verbose and you should see all the comments you would normally see when running a dependancy manager.
Hope that helps
Cocoa pods - reduce wait times to 10% ( on Mac OS ) :
1- type pod setup in your project folder ( first you have to be in the project folder) from terminal in Mac OS.
2- CTRL+z to stop after it creates master directory ( folder ) [you can see it in your cocoa pods folder location : ~/.cocoapods/repos]
Download .zip from
https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs
master branch ( its 301 MB) , Extract it . It will take approx 5-10 mins
4.Copy the content to ~/.cocoapods/repos ( now here you only need to copy the contents inside the master folder , so make sure that master folder is created already with pod setup command )
5- once you copy it ( or I should say move , drag and drop as copying will take forever , as its very large ), you can then do pod install --no-repo-update
6- your pods in the pod file now will start installing
Here is a screenshot
I used the following 4 commands
cd ~/.cocoapods/repos
git clone "https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs" master --depth 1
cd master
git fetch --unshallow
pod setup
I took time as expected, but at least I didn't have to stair at the screen wondering whats happening in the background.
Just setup the master repo, was excited to see that we have a download progress, see screenshot ;)
CocoaPods release 1.2.0 (Jan 28) fixes this issue, thanks to all contributors and Danielle Tomlinson for this release.
Try this command to track its work.
while true; do
du -sh ~/.cocoapods/
sleep 3
done
This happens only once.
Master repo has +-1GB (November 2016).
To track the progress you can use activity monitor app and look for
git-remote-https.Next time it (
pod setuporpod repo update) will only fast update all spec-repos in~/.cocoapods/repos.
I Faced same problem but it work for.I executed the Pod Install Command Before 3 Hour ago after that its updated what i want. You just need to Keep tracking the "Activity Monitor" You can see their "git remote https" or "Git" in disk tab. It will download around 330 Mb then it shows 1 GB and After some minutes it will starts installing. No need to Execute extra command.
Note : during downloading your MAC need to in continuously Active mode.If your system goes in sleep mode then CPU stop the process and you will get a error Like Add manually.
I have an alternative solution that I currently use. By changing the repository URL in Podfile to:
source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'
changes:
- source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
+ source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'
As of cocoapods 1.7.2 you can use the cdn instead of github. It's blazing fast and it won't hang. :) The cdn is default from cocopods 1.8.0 onwards.
To use the CDN source in your Podfile:
If you don't have private specs:
source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'If you have private specs:
source 'https://github.com/artsy/Specs.git' - source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' + source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'Doing this will break your Podfile.lock, so you are likely to need to run pod update to see the changes (be careful, this may update your Pods also).
If you have a CI setup, it is recommended to cache the new repo dir as it is very small and would save even more time. With 1.7.2 it should be located at ~/.cocoapods/repos/cocoapods- (yes, with a -), but we're looking to improve the naming in an upcoming release.
More info:
You will have to remove the repo and re-setup it...
pod repo remove master
pod setup
May be this information will be helpful:
Official answer: http://blog.cocoapods.org/Master-Spec-Repo-Rate-Limiting-Post-Mortem/
As a result of this discussion https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/4989
Briefly: CocoaPods repository experiences a huge volume of fetches from GitHub and it was the problem. Changes have been available since version 1.0.0.beta.6.
Tips from this document:
If for whatever reason you cannot upgrade to version 1.0.0 just yet, you can perform the following steps to convert your clone of the Master spec-repo from a shallow to a full clone:
$ cd ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
$ git fetch --unshallow
My hack to first installation:
1. pod setup
2. Ctrl+C
After that I could find ~/.cocoapods/repos/ empty directory
3. Download https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs/archive/master.zip
4. unpack it to ~/.cocoapods/repos/
5. Move to project folder
6. pod install --no-repo-update
Today it takes near 15 minutes
What I tried and faster than clonning the repo:
pod setup- Ctrl +C after creating the master directory
- Download .zip from https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs master
- Copy the content to
~/.cocoapods/repos pod install --no-repo-updatein my project folder
After that I finally could see the pods being installed
Good luck!
EDIT: The zip size is 144 MB (Jul 6 2017)
When CocoaPods is doing that it is downloading the entire specs repo to ~/.cocoapods. This could take a while depending on your connection. I would try doing it explicitly first with pod setup
