Сocoapods trunk URL couldn't be downloaded

Question

I am getting this error when I try to pod repo update and pod install

CDN: trunk URL couldn't be downloaded: https://cdn.cocoapods.org/deprecated_podspecs.txt, error: Failed to open TCP connection to cdn.cocoapods.org:443 (No route to host - connect(2) for "cdn.cocoapods.org" port 443)

Does somebody know how to fix this problem?

Answer 1

It seems that it's a cdn problem because when i use proxy the link https://cdn.cocoapods.org/all_pods_versions_e_2_1.txt is opened and when not it return error.

What i did: gem uninstall cocoapods gem cleanup rvm osx-ssl-certs update all

That didn't help.

Then i went to Chrome and opened https://cdn.cocoapods.org/all_pods_versions_e_2_1.txt it was an error. Then i cleared cache but it didn't help. After switching to proxy and returning back it started to work.

Resume: Turn on and switch off the VPN.

Answer 9

If all the answers did not help, try these steps:

1. Make sure you're in ios folder and list all available pod repos

   pod repo list

2. Iterate over the list and delete all of them

   pod repo remove [repo_name]

3. In any folder on your local machine, clone Cocoapods Github repo

   git clone "https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git"

4. At the top of your podfile, reference only this local repo

   source '/Users/hossamabdelnaser/Specs' # This depends on where you cloned the repo

5. Make sure you're in ios folder and install pods

   pod install

Hope that helps

Faced the same issue and tried all the answers suggested above. But, the real issue seemed to be with not being able to access the Git repo for Cocoapods: ‘error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied’

Executing sudo chown -R $USER: . at /Users/user_name/.cocoapods/repos/cocoapods fixed the issue

pod cache clean --all
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods
pod install or pod update
