Hi @pradeepb28! 👋 Thanks for reporting!

This is expected, here's what's going on:

• We're working on a brand new version of the SDK, fully re-written in Swift, which also includes a few new features. This new version has a renamed pod in Cocoapods, called RevenueCat.
• The new version is currently in beta, which is why in our docs we have setup instructions for the currently-stable version, called Purchases.
• If you'd like to use the latest stable version, you can just set up the line without pointing to the github repo:

  pod 'Purchases'

• When you point to the github repo, Cocoapods will read off the default branch (main) and won't see a spec for Purchases, it'll only see one for RevenueCat, i.e.: our V4 SDK that was renamed.
• If you'd like to give the beta a try, you can also do:

  pod 'RevenueCat', :git => "https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-ios.git"

Here's the list of everything that's changed in our V4 SDK, currently in beta.

@aboedo I tried

pod 'Purchases'

but I am still facing the below issue

MacOS: 11.3.1 (M1 machine) Pod version: 1.10.2

[aboedo]

🤔 I just tried this on a brand new project and had no issues with the following podfile:

target 'testCocoapods (iOS)' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'Purchases'
end

target 'testCocoapods (macOS)' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'Purchases'
end

Output:

@pradeepb28 I'm running Cocoapods 1.11.2. Perhaps updating your Cocoapods version solves the issue?

[pradeepb28]

updated but still no luck. @aboedo is there any chance I can point to the git url. This is the only I was able to solve other pods in my file. I tried the git url under purchases-ios but it didnt worked(as per my original issue)

[aboedo]

@pradeepb28 is there anything more in the output other than what you pasted above? Anything before "oh no, an error occurred"?

I wonder if there might be an issue with targeted architectures or deployment targets, could you share details about which architectures your app is targeting, as well as deployment targets for them?

You can still point to the github url:

For the stable version, v3:

pod 'Purchases', :git => 'https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-ios.git', :tag => '3.13.1'

Keep in mind that if you go with this path, you'd have to update the tag whenever you want to update to a newer version fo the SDK to get bug fixes or new features.

For the beta version, v4 (keep in mind the API updates):

pod 'RevenueCat', :git => "https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-ios.git"

[pradeepb28]

This is what is in podfile @aboedo

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'Bird search' do
  # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!
platform :ios, '15.0'

  # Pods for Bird_search
pod 'RevealingSplashView', :git => "https://github.com/PiXeL16/RevealingSplashView.git"
pod 'Mixpanel-swift', :git => "https://github.com/mixpanel/mixpanel-swift.git"
pod 'SwiftDate', :git => "https://github.com/malcommac/SwiftDate.git"
pod 'Purchases'

end

Thanks for sharing! I think you're experiencing this issue.

It seems to be an incompatibility issue with a ruby gem called ffi, there's a suggested workaround here.

There's another thread here for the same issue.

There are a few other possible solutions in the links I posted. Would you mind giving them a shot?

[pradeepb28]

@aboedo it worked, finally I can give a shot on RevenueCat

Glad it's working! Let us know if you run into more issues. Have a great day!
