Project that demonstrates the issue

It's only an issue with CocoaPods the tool.

Additional Info:

Running Xcode Version 9.1 (9B55)
Re-ran sudo gem install cocoapods to update / install additional pods.

Issue still remains. I'm unable to initialise the pod file.

Please use CocoaPods 1.4.0.beta.2 or 1.3.1 it looks like you are an outdated version. I will re-open if you attempt this and it still does not work.

Hey,

I've tried installing the latest CocoaPods by doing the following:

sudo gem install cocoapods

then

pod setup

the output in the terminal after the setup completed is as follows:

CocoaPods 1.4.0.beta.2 is available.
To update use: sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
[!] This is a test version we'd love you to try.

For more information, see https://blog.cocoapods.org and the CHANGELOG for this version at https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/releases/tag/1.4.0.beta.2

Setup completed

I then went to my directory and issued the following command:

pod init

The error mention in my post appeared again.

I then decided to check the version of CocoaPods I was using:

pod --version

output:

1.0.1

So the question is how can I switch to the latest version i've just downloaded?

Also when I run the following:

gem list --local | grep cocoapods

The output is:

cocoapods (1.0.1)
cocoapods-core (1.0.1)
cocoapods-deintegrate (1.0.0)
cocoapods-downloader (1.1.0)
cocoapods-plugins (1.0.0)
cocoapods-search (1.0.0)
cocoapods-stats (1.0.0)
cocoapods-trunk (1.0.0)
cocoapods-try (1.1.0)

Any assistance would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Try gem install cocoapods -v 1.4.0.beta.2 or gem install cocoapods -v 1.3.1

[Scott-Atkinson]

gem install cocoapods -v 1.3.1 worked like a charm!

Thanks.
