Can not clone using CocoaPods.

[DarrenBranford]

Hi. I have been trying to clone the CocoaPod only to receive the following error:

"warning: Could not find remote branch 2.0 to clone.

fatal: Remote branch 2.0 not found in upstream origin"

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey @DarrenBranford. I tried a fresh project with the following Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '5.0'
pod 'BNGAPI'

and I'm getting very similar results to you:

sean:TestProject Sean$ pod install --verbose

Would you mind attaching your Podfile to this bug for reference. Perhaps the project being named aping-ios-sdk, but named BNGAPI in cocoapods is causing the issue. Will investigate further, but if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

http://guides.cocoapods.org/making/using-pod-lib-create.html could be worth a look. Would mean an overhaul of the current repo structure.

[DarrenBranford]

Thanks for the updates. The Podfile was created as per the instructions in the readme.

platform :ios, '5.0'
pod "BNGAPI", "2.0"

I have no previous experience in creating CocoaPods, so I'm not sure that I'll be able to offer any reasonable suggestions.

Thanks for the info @DarrenBranford. FWIW, downgrading to cocoa pods 0.33.1 via a sudo gem install cocoapods --version 0.33.1 command should get you back on track in the short term. Still investigating what changed between 0.33.1 and 0.34 with cocoapods, but this downgrade should allow you to develop for the time being. Will post back as soon as I find a more long term solution.

Pushed the 2.1 version of the library to cocoapods and it should download ok now. Some debug output that I got from a sample pod install:

sean:TestProject Sean$ pod install --verbose

     You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
     changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
     state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

     If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
     do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

       git checkout -b new_branch_name

Can you try updating your Podfile to look like:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '5.0'
pod 'BNGAPI', '2.1' 

... and see whether that works for you. If it doesn't work, please feel free to get back to me on Github Issues on this repo and I'll do my best to help.

Thanks for taking the time @DarrenBranford to report the issue - much appreciated,

Sean

Closing this as #25 suggests that the cocoa pod is now fixed.
