I've tried uninstalling and installing ruby macho, but it doesn't help.

gem which macho

This mostly seems a configuration issue. Interesting to see that you installed the gem but it still does not work.

I am uncertain from here. I think it is best to ask this question in StackOverflow under cocoapods tag instead.

@auspicious99 I am going to preemptively close this as we get many issues. At least right now this does not appear to be an actual issue with CocoaPods. Seems like a setup issue to install and use macho gem.

I will re-open this if we can figure out there is a change we can do in CocoaPods. For now please re-direct this question to StackOverflow.

I am getting this error trying to run 1.6.0 beta also. Same stack. I have a vendored static framework.

We switched to using require instead of autoload in https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/pull/7980 based on feedback from other users, but really not sure what else we can do

[yanchaoGan]

@yanchaoGan " gem uninstall ruby-macho ", it works for me, too.

[metasmile]

ruby's DEPs system is horrible
