Had the same issue, I updated my cocoacpods version and it worked.

If you previously installed cocoapods using brew

  1. You need to update your local installation of cocoapods, you can run:

     brew install cocoapods

  2. Once installed hen run

    pod install

If you previously installed cocoapods using gem:

  1. You need to update your local installation of cocoapods, you can run:

     sudo gem install cocoapods

  2. Once installed you can generate your new Podfile.lock matching the new version by running:

    pod install

You might have to also sometimes upgrade your ruby version if it does not work with the cocaopods version you installed you can use rbenv to upgrade your ruby version to the one compatible with your cocaopods.

    2.3 then update pod $sudo gem install cocoapods

For those like me whose cocoapods version is 1.5.2, you can update cocoapods using

sudo gem install cocoapods

and the problem is solved

For checking pod version use

pod --version

For those for which cocoapods version is 1.5.3, you can delete podfile.lock and do pod install. However please note that if the version, of libraries used in your project, is not specified in podfile, then they will be automatically updated to latest vesrion.

The error you are getting is due to your podfile.lock being built with an older version of Cocoapods. All you need to do is to delete your podfile.lock file and run pod install. This will create a new podfile.lock, with your current dependencies. Note that it should not take too long because your files should already be downloaded, they just need to be linked in said file.
