Exception: error running pod install

Explanation:

When you encounter the error “error running pod install” while working with a project that uses CocoaPods, it typically means there is an issue with installing the dependencies defined in the Podfile of your project.

To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have CocoaPods installed on your system. You can check this by running the following command in Terminal:

           pod --version
         

   If it shows a version number, it means CocoaPods is installed; otherwise, you need to install it using the following command:

           sudo gem install cocoapods
         

2. Navigate to the root directory of your project in Terminal:

        cd /path/to/your/project
      

3. Run the following command to update the dependencies and install the required pods:

           pod install
         

   This command will read the Podfile in your project directory and download the specified versions of the libraries/frameworks you defined.

4. After the installation is complete, use the following command to open your project:

           open YourProject.xcworkspace
         

   Note: From now on, always open the .xcworkspace file instead of the .xcodeproj file for your project.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the “error running pod install” and successfully install the necessary dependencies for your project.
