It was based off of this issue: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/3680

Solved my issue by reinstalling cocoapods

I solved this issue by removing an old version of the nanaimo gem: sudo gem uninstall nanaimo (prompts to ask you which version you want to uninstall)

I had versions 0.2.2 and 0.2.3 installed, removed 0.2.2, and magically things started working again!

[doozMen]

This happens to me now. [1] 18679 abort pod install. All help appreciated

[blurkidi]

I managed to solve the issue by updating the _xcodeproj_ gem:

gem install xcodeproj

The currently installed version is v1.4.2 (it was 1.3.3 before).

[peterjenkins]

In general, seems like it's worthwhile to try to completely uninstall all versions of all cocoapods-related gems and then reinstall from scratch. That process ultimately yielded the solution for me.

Note that some gems used by cocoapods do not have cocoapods in the name, as was the situation for me with nanaimo.

This got me a good start, though (link)

for i in $( gem list --local --no-version | grep cocoapods );
do 
    gem uninstall $i; 
done

[doozMen]

Removing everything like above did not help. What did, wierdly, was installing beta cocoa pods and uninstalling. Thanks for the help do!

[Jerome1210]

Thank @blurkidi , that works!

[liviur]

@blurkidi - your the man!
I thought I'm going to throw my computer out the window at some point.

[zenangst]

Wow, such an odd fix @doozMen, it worked for me as well. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[AlNistor]

The following command in terminal fixed my problem. As I was watching the console logs, it updated the cocoapod gem.
sudo gem update

Hope it helps.
