Project that demonstrates the issue

https://github.com/ByteriX/BxObjC
You can call:
"sh build.sh 1.1.21"

Other details

if you call
pod lib lint BxObjC.podspec --allow-warnings --verbose

it works correct and validation will be success

if you call
pod _1.1.1_ spec lint BxObjC.podspec --allow-warnings --verbose

will be success

if you call
pod _1.2.1_ spec lint BxObjC.podspec --allow-warnings --verbose

will be fail

I seem to be having the same issue. Any updates?

EDIT: I seemed to be able to fix it. My issue was that I pushed an update to my git repo that fixed an issue in my pod spec where I accidentally used apostrophes instead of single quotes, but I forgot to rerelease, so my pod spec was still pointing to an older version of my git repo.

[orta]

Looks like you probably have a syntax error in your podspec.

[sofbix]

Looks like you probably have a syntax error in your podspec.

Why then 'lib lint' works correctly?
I tryed to change podspec to https://guides.cocoapods.org/making/specs-and-specs-repo.html maximum, but it didn't have result

[orta]

lib lint runs against your local version, spec lint runs against your git tag - those could be different versions of your podspce

[sofbix]

it's 1.2.1 feature?
Because from 1.1.1 spec lint works correct

[orta]

Good question, the error is definitely a bad message - it doesn't actually say what is wrong. Could be a deprecated and removed attribute for example

[sofbix]

So, I found out case and issue.
In the repository I have file BxObjC.Template.podspec it is invalid specfile for creating valid BxObjC.podspec, when I have removed this then spec lint have been work without this error. Why external file with .podspec extention have affected to trunk push?

[q351941406]

me too，How to solve this error

[sofbix]

I just renamed BxObjC.Template.podspec to BxObjC.templatespec and all work now as is as in a past

[jfperren]

I had this issue, turns out my podspec had a syntax error but the fix I made was not pushed to my remote (so lib lint was not showing the syntax error). Make sure your remote's podspec is the correct one!
Thanks @orta for the suggestion!

remove all origin tag ,then add new a tag
