Cocoapods - 'pod --version' gives me 0.31.1 after updating to 0.32.1

Question

I have basically the same question as this post: when running pod install I get The `master` repo requires CocoaPods 0.32.1, try updating but still in 0.31 but the answer doesn't help me (I'm not allowed to comment on things yet haha!)

I try to run 'pod install' or 'pod setup' and I get an error saying:

[!] The `master` repo requires CocoaPods 0.32.1 - 
Update CocoaPods, or checkout the appropriate tag in the repo.
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/claide-0.5.0/lib/claide/command.rb:281:in `rescue in run': undefined method `verbose?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

    from /usr/bin/pod:23:in `load'
    from /usr/bin/pod:23:in `<main>'

Then I run 'sudo gem install cocoapods' and I get:

Successfully installed cocoapods-0.32.1
Parsing documentation for cocoapods-0.32.1
Done installing documentation for cocoapods after 1 seconds
1 gem installed

Even after this, I run 'pod --version' and I still get 0.31.1. Is there another step I need to take to successfully update to 0.32.1?

Answer 1

Update: HAD TO RESTART TERMINAL after sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

Then sudo gem install cocoapods updates to the latest version successfully.

Answer 2

Run pod --version and sudo pod --version - I imagine multiple versions have been installed with and without sudo. Either update both, or remove the undesired second one with [sudo] gem uninstall cocoapods

Answer 3

Try uninstalling the gem first:

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

Then install it again:

sudo gem install cocoapods

Then pod --version should show the newest.

Answer 4

I am using bundle, so bundle update cocoapods works for me.

Answer 5

For me, the problem is caused by two versions of cocoapods have been installed.

I uninstalled cocoapods first by running sudo gem uninstall cocoapods.

And then run pod --version command to check the existence of cocoapods again.

Wierd thing happened! The gem is there. So I uninstalled cocoapods for the second time.

My conclusion is to make sure you delete all cocoapods completely, and reinstall it. It works for me.

Answer 6

What finally worked for me was...

- sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
- Restart the Terminal ( on your Mac)
- sudo gem install cocoapods --source http://rubygems.org

also , better copy paste, easy to do a typo with Cocoapods :-)
