MacOS Pods Cache restore gets stuck indefinitely for the size more than 3gb

[Ananthakr-Jupiter]

The macos cache restore process gets stuck for a long time(more than 1hr) and gets timed out. We have been facing this problem recently when our pods cache size jumped from 1.8gb to 3gb.

We couldn't find any possible reason why this happens and also not sure if we are hitting any storage limitations in the runner machines. May be related to this issue(https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/1115), but in our case the job gets cancelled automatically after 1.5hrs.

Let me know if any more information is needed

It's likely the same issue as #1115. Anyway I solved this issue by manually cloning the Specs repository and removing the caching mechanism altogether. It's more fast this way. This is the workflow's step.

- name: Add CocoaPods Specs
  run: |
    mkdir -p ~/.cocoapods/repos/cocoapods
    git clone --depth 1 -b master https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git ~/.cocoapods/repos/cocoapods

When you use pod then you specify this repository between the sources, like in the following command line.

pod lib lint --allow-warnings --verbose --sources=cocoapods

@vsvipul is there any update?

@numandev1 I'm no longer working at GitHub. Please contact people on https://github.com/actions/toolkit to check who is the new owner for cache.
