Actual outcome
After clone my project I run carthage bootstrap --platform iOS --no-use-binaries several times, and always get stuck after 15 dependencies.

Expected outcome
Run all dependencies to run my project.

Same issue here, the process freezes after 15 depedencies

[jrtibbetts]

This has been happening to me on a project with 8 dependencies:

github "OAuthSwift/OAuthSwift"
github "mxcl/PromiseKit"
github "PromiseKit/Foundation"
github "jrtibbetts/JSONClient"
github "jrtibbetts/Stylobate"
github "jrtibbetts/SwiftDiscogs"
github "jrtibbetts/SwiftGenius"
github "jrtibbetts/SwiftMusicbrainz"

Those last 5 are all very small projects, and the only transitive dependency is Kingfisher. I deleted my Carthage directory and Cartfile.resolved, just to make sure, and even after 42 minutes of waiting for carthage update --platform iOS and pegging the CPUs at 247% (the highest I observed, anyway), the Checkouts directory hadn't even been created. What's going on?

[oliverlist]

After a _long_ time, bootstrap succeeds. Apparently, checking out the resolved dependecies was the issue: One checkout takes unexpectedly long and Carthage doesn't tell the user what it's currently working on.

[CalebeRios]

@oliverlist, I've left more than 2 hours running the carthage, but to no success. This long time you tell, is how long?

[oliverlist]

In total, the checkout probably took an hour. While carthage bootstrap is busy, you might want to run

ps aux | grep git

to find out which dependency is causing this behaviour.

[tmspzz]

try using --new-resolver

Also, not pinning dependencies is bad practice.

[CalebeRios]

@blender, what do you mean "not pinning dependencies is bad practice?

I try run with this flag you said

[tmspzz]

In your Cartfile I see that only a few dependencies have a version specified, like

github "jdg/MBProgressHUD" ~> 1.0.0

You should specify a version for all of your dependencies.

[jrtibbetts]

You should specify a version for all of your dependencies.

I agree that this should be the standard practice for using third-party dependencies, but what about dependencies that you control and/or are under active development? I don't include them as submodules, and I don't see any way to point Carthage to a local checkout (outside of the Carthage/Checkouts folder) or even a specific GitHub commit hash.

Similar problem here. (carthage version 0.32.0)
--new-resolver option does not resolve this problem.

Was resolved on version 0.33.0.

[GDXRepo]

The issue comes back with Xcode 11 & Swift 5.1. Executing without the --new-resolver option leads to 247% CPU usage and infinite execution, e.g. stuck. If I use --new-resolver than Carthage begins some cycled calls and it never ends. List of repos is below:
