Unable to add a source with url `https://cdn.cocoapods.org/` named `trunk`

Asked 27/3, 2020 at 11:11 Answered 24/7, 2023 at 17:9

I'm building an app with capacitor for ios. When I launch the command 'npx cap sync ios' (which launch pod install) and I get this error :

✖ Updating iOS native dependencies with "pod install" (may take several minutes): 
✖ update ios: 
[error] Error running update: Analyzing dependencies
Cloning spec repo `trunk` from `https://cdn.cocoapods.org/`
[!] Unable to add a source with url `https://cdn.cocoapods.org/` named `trunk`.
You can try adding it manually in `/Users/damien/.cocoapods/repos` or via `pod repo add`.

If i execute the recommandation :

pod repo add trunk https://cdn.cocoapods.org/

I get this error

[!] Repo name `trunk` is reserved for CocoaPods' main spec repo accessed via CDN.

I'm blocked on this issue since 6 hours. I read all post mentionning this error on internet.

What’s your CocoaPods version? – Tetrasyllable 28/3, 2020 at 0:12

Have you solved this problem? I got the same issue. I tried pod repo add master https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git, not working. I tried add source https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git in Podfile, not working, I tried pod repo remove trunk, pod repo add trunk https://cdn.cocoapods.org/. Neither works. – Book 22/9, 2020 at 11:32

Temporary solution :

I added `source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' on the top of my Podfile

platform :ios, '11.0'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
use_frameworks!
....

But it takes 30 minutes to download all the repo (2.5gb) in my Users/damien/.cocoapods/repos/ folder 🤯

I had to do this too :( I get an SSL error from the command line trying to connect to the CDN, though I can use CURL or open the files in the browser without a problem. This started after updating to Catalina and then updating my cocoapods version – Obara 27/3, 2020 at 16:21

I had an openssl error too, after updated it. tTo avoid it, I downgraded the version with brew switch openssl 1.0.2q – Socio 27/3, 2020 at 17:10

I have the same problem, it just broke, maybe the service is just down at the moment. – Custos 22/9, 2020 at 12:23

Worked for me with v1.9.3 – Lumbering 22/9, 2020 at 18:17

I got a different error after this. Unable to find a specification for 'React-Core' depended upon by 'RNCPushNotificationIOS'. already ran pod repo update. still not working. any ideas? – Personate 15/1, 2021 at 7:13

i am getting this error - [!] The 'Pods-RNNativebase' target has transitive dependencies that include statically linked binaries: (Flipper-Boost-iOSX and Flipper-RSocket) – Burnsides 8/1, 2022 at 11:16

You can restore trunk using:

pod repo add-cdn trunk https://cdn.cocoapods.org/

Me same, it looks like this url has been deprecated. – Book 22/9, 2020 at 10:31

status.cocoapods.org There is a status page you can see if stuff is running. Right now CDN is down due to DNS issues. – Hodgkins 23/9, 2020 at 6:34

I just solved this with a sudo gem update

Supplant answered 20/3, 2023 at 19:9 Comment(3)

Helped me on M1. Couldn't run 'pod install' because of llvm, ffi issues. Reinstalled cocoapods, llvm, ffi (x86, arm64) but nothing helped. Only 'sudo gem update' solved the problem. – Spoilsport 28/3, 2023 at 15:58

Thank you so much for this. I just spent like 6 hours trying to solve this issue. I guess that's what I get for only looking at the top three answers, even when they're three years old. – Fauteuil 23/7, 2023 at 1:51

That worked for me also on a M1 macbook. Thanks! – Trimurti 15/1 at 10:56

Another way you can get it working locally since this CDN is an issue

pod repo remove trunk

In Podfile

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

# source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

If you still have issues after changing the source in your Podfile:

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

Its because you need to remove the current "trunk" and re-install pods with --repo-update:

pod repo remove trunk
pod install --repo-update

OR --clean-install to execute a full pod installation ignoring the content of the project cache:

pod install --clean-install

I got it fixed according to what Logan says on Github:

gem uninstall cocoapods
gem install cocoapods -v 1.8
pod install

It seems that there's a bug or something with 1.9.1!

I was facing the same issue and found this post that solved my problem.

From nvahalik

What ended up working for me was updating ethon to 0.16.0

Just do:

sudo gem update ethon
