Cocoapods: Regression in 1.0.0beta5: missing error message for minimum deployment target

[Coeur]

Report

What did you do?

Run pod install with a problematic Podfile.

What did you expected to happen?

Get error Specs satisfying theMyPod (from ../)dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

What happened instead?

With 1.0.0beta4 I get the correct error message.
With 1.0.0beta5 and 1.0.0beta6, I get a different error: It seems like you've changed the constraints of dependencyMyPodinside your development podMyPod. You should runpod update MyPodto apply changes you've made.
Running pod update MyPod keep displaying the same wrong error message.

Podfile

target 'MyPod_Example' do
  platform :ios
  pod 'MyPod', :path => '../'
end

(note: I know that I should have use platform :ios, '7.0', but the issue here is the incorrect error message)

@manuyavuz: Can you take a look at this?

[manuyavuz]

Hi @Coeur,

Can you share the contents of Podfile.lock and MyPod.podspec files?

This issue has been inactive for some time and will be closed because we want to move forward with a clean slate after our 1.0 release. If you believe this is still relevant, please retest with the 1.0 release candidate and comment with a reproducible project in order for this to become actionable again. Thanks!

[Coeur]

@neonichu it is reproducible with 1.0.0 rc1.

Steps:

pod lib create MyPod
cd MyPod/Example/
echo -e "target 'MyPod_Example' do\nplatform :ios\npod 'MyPod', :path => '../'\nend" > Podfile
pod install

Result: wrong error message. Please check the first message to see the expected correct error message.

[Coeur]

@manuyavuz there is no Podfile.lock. Follow the steps from previous message to get an example project. And compare with 1.0.0beta4 to get the expected correct error message.

I have encountered same issue with 1.0.0. Try to clone following project: https://github.com/siuying/CocoapodsIssue5052

and run pod update in Example folder, you will get error:

[!] Unable to satisfy the following requirements:

- `Issue5052 (from `../`)` required by `Podfile`

It seems like you've changed the constraints of dependency `Issue5052` inside your development pod `Issue5052`.
You should run `pod update Issue5052` to apply changes you've made.

I'm facing the same issue - any progress/ideas here?

[HamzaGhazouani]

I got the same issue
The bug was the deployment target of the sample project was higher than my pod deployment target
To fix it just change the deployment target of the sample project OR the pod deployment target in the YourPod.podpec file
Hope that helps

@HamzaGhazouani can you explain it better?

[HamzaGhazouani]

@franzejr For example if you set s.ios.deployment_target = '9.0' in your .podspec file
the target of your project should has the same iOS version (9.0) or higher
