Cocoapod pod only for a specified platform

I have an Xcode project with multiple targets. One of those targets targets the tvOS platform. My other targets make use of the 'youtube-iso-player-helper' framework, which does not support tvOS. I want to have a Cocoapod Podfile that includes the player framework only on iOS.

Here is my current Podfile: 

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' 
platform :ios, '8.0'
platform :tvos, '9.0'

use_frameworks!

pod 'SVGgh'

pod "youtube-ios-player-helper", "~> 0.1"

xcodeproj 'MyProject.xcodeproj'

When I try to update my pods, I get the following error:

[!] The platform of the target Pods (tvOS 9.0) is not compatible with youtube-ios-player-helper (0.1.4), which does not support tvos.

Obviously, this is using the current version of Cocoapods.

So, I need to know the syntax required for my Podfile.

It's actually not just you podfile, but the creator of the pod needs to enable apple TV. You can read about it here http://blog.cocoapods.org/CocoaPods-0.39/

Just came across a similar problem and I've fixed it by using this pattern:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'  

def shared_pods
    pod 'SVGgh'
end

target 'myiOSTargetName' do
    platform :ios, '8.0'
    use_frameworks! 
    shared_pods
    pod "youtube-ios-player-helper", "~> 0.1"
end

target 'mytvOSTargetName' do
    platform :tvos, '9.0'  
    use_frameworks! 
    shared_pods
end

I haven't tested it but I hope it helps! Cheers

This seems to work for me:

target 'iOSAppTarget' do
  platform :ios, '8.0'
  pod 'PodForiOS'
end

target 'TVAppTarget' do
  platform :tvos, '9.0'
  pod 'PodForTV'
end

I have similar problem, but with framework. Try to use target and link_with to install pod for specific target:

target :tvos, :exclusive => true do
    use_frameworks!
    link_with 'AppName'
    pod "youtube-ios-player-helper", "~> 0.1"
end
