Firebase Storage not able to install via Cocoapods

I'm at a bit of a loss here, since I have been trying to install Firebase Storage for my project without any luck.

What happens every time I try to run the pod install, it gives me this message:

Analyzing dependencies
Downloading dependencies
Using Alamofire (4.2.0)
Using Bolts (1.8.4)
Using FBSDKCoreKit (4.18.0)
Using FBSDKLoginKit (4.18.0)
Using FBSDKShareKit (4.18.0)
Using FacebookCore (0.2.0)
Using FacebookLogin (0.2.0)
Using FacebookShare (0.2.0)
Installing Firebase 3.11.0 (was 3.11.0)

[!] Error installing Firebase
[!] /usr/bin/tar xfz /var/folders/87/3qtbnngd7xx3m9t30xwpb1vw0000gn/T/d20170110-3205-gwhcri/file.tgz -C /var/folders/87/3qtbnngd7xx3m9t30xwpb1vw0000gn/T/d20170110-3205-gwhcri

tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '/var/folders/87/3qtbnngd7xx3m9t30xwpb1vw0000gn/T/d20170110-3205-gwhcri/file.tgz'

I have tried almost every thing I can think of, like reinstalling Cocoa Pods, trying to create new projects and pod files. The file Cocoa Pods is trying to open is no where to be found?

The weird thing is that installing all other kinds of pods works fine, like Facebook SDK and even other Firebase pods.

Does anyone have an idea on how to get this installed? Thanks!

For anyone still having this issue, I narrowed it down to curl being outdated from my Anaconda installation. I just ran conda install curl and updated it. Now it works like a charm again...

The issue appears to be with the tar utility on your computer, or the default CocoaPods behavior when installing a tar ball.

Alamofire and the Facebook SDK are both git repos, while we ship Firebase as a tar ball. I assume any other "closed source" pod that ships this way will similarly break on your computer/CocoaPods installation.

Since this appears to only be your computer (I can't repro, for instance), I would try a different version of CocoaPods (possibly an older one, if you're on the newest), or ensure that you can create and then untar a .tgz file.

Also relevant because tar is hard: xkcd.com/1168
