Newly submitted Podfile won't install with pod install but instead installs with pod install --repo-update

I have created a new iOS framework in which I listed external cocoapods as dependancies in my podspec file.

I successfully ran podspec lint without warnings/errors and then pushed the trunk which was also successful.

I read in several places that it usually takes up to an hour to show up so after 2 hours I tried to integrate the pod into a demo project using pod install, it gave me some errors like:

All of which I disagree to. So upon further research, I saw some people even had to wait for 7 hours as they had quite a heavy project, however, my library is not too heavy and it's dependancies are quite heavy but since they are not included in the project itself, I was wondering why it took so long.

Then I came across another pod install command pod install --repo-update which I ran seconds after pod install failed and it installed my pod and all of it's dependancies.

So I am curious to know what is the difference between these commands and how come one worked and the other did not ?

Thanks

pod install --repo-update and pod update update your local copy of the centralized CocoaPods Specs repository with the latest version.

pod install will use the previous local copy on your machine.

If a pod publisher published a new version after the last time you updated your local copy, pod install won't have access it to it. That's why you need to specify --repo-update.
