Seems like your ISP or your network configuration is preventing you from reaching out https://cdn.cocoapods.org.

There isn't much we can do about this so I recommend you switch back to use the git based repo by adding it with source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' into your Podfile.

I have tried this solution but it does not work
all my proxy credentials are setted correctly in the terminal and the url is available using web browser.
You can't close the issues without asking for further details

What solution did you try?

We can still keep talking about this issue even if it's closed.

The code that errors out is:

      def cdn_url?(url)
        url =~ %r{^https?:\/\/} &&
          REST.head(url + '/all_pods.txt').ok?
      rescue => e
        raise Informative, "Couldn't determine repo type for URL: `#{url}`: #{e}"
      end

CocoaPods is making a request that receives a 407 for providing credentials to your proxy server.

The HTTP 407 Proxy Authentication Required client error status response code indicates that the request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for a proxy server that is between the browser and the server that can access the requested resource.

I will re-open but I will await for your input on showing what we can do to fix this in CocoaPods as I personally do not know.

Even if i add source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' in my pod file i have the same problem.
my proxy credentials are exported correctly using this command:
export http_proxy=http://username:pws@proxyhost:port/
export https_proxy=http://username:pws@proxyhost:port/
It was perfectly working with OSX Mojave but the problem occur with Catalina.

[dnkoutso]

Would love someone to assist here on figuring out although again this issue appears to be related to Catalina as you say and something with the network configuration to be able to use these credentials for the proxy.

This issue will be auto-closed because there hasn't been any activity for a few months. Feel free to open a new one if you still experience this problem :+1:

I have been experiencing the same issue since Dec 2,
Started on Catalina. Is this issue closed?

[WeZZard]

Nope. I also have encountered this issue.

[H-Ghadirian]

I have this issue!

[amorde]

Are you running a proxy server? Did you see this comment?

UPDATE COCOAPODS

sudo gem install cocoapods

Found a workaround for this.
Turns out the proxy was not being picked up. Running this just before the command fixed it export http_proxy=http://username:pws@proxyhost:port/
