Unable to install reddift from Cocoapods

[colindean]

This is my first time using the Cocoapods ecosystem, so the problem could entirely be user error!

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>

My Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'reddift', '~> 1.6'
end
target 'MyAppDebugger' do
  use_frameworks!
end

I tried bumping reddift to ~> 1.7 upon seeing a 1.7.0 tag in this repo, but cocoapods tells me that it's not available:

$ pod list | grep reddift
  reddift 1.6.0

What can I do?

[sonsongithub]

I can do "pod install" as following steps.

1. Run Xcode.
2. Create "New Project" on Xcode, the name is "sample".
3. Close the project.
4. Create Podfile.
5. open Terminal.app and move to the directory which includes "sample" project.
6. do pod install.
7. Finished, sample.xcworkspace is created.

Podfile

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'sample' do
  pod 'reddift', '~> 1.6'
end

[colindean]

I tried something similar, but didn't get a usable result:

platform :osx, '10.11'
use_frameworks!
target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'reddift', '~> 1.6'
end

target 'MyApp Debugger' do
end

So I tried checking it out directly using the same command that pod does:

git clone https://github.com/sonsongithub/reddift.git --template= --single-branch --depth 1 --branch v1.6.0 --recursive

It looks like https://github.com/kishikawakatsumi/KeychainAccess doesn't have the commit that reddift vendors at reddift/vendor/KeychainAccess.

What's crazy is that the commit exists! If you go to https://github.com/sonsongithub/reddift/tree/v1.6.0/reddift/vendor and click the submodule there, it navigates just fine. When I clone the https://github.com/kishikawakatsumi/KeychainAccess repo individually, the commit is there! I'm totally confused.

If I do the checkout simply and manually, it works:

[colin@ayla MyApp (master)]$ /usr/local/bin/git clone https://github.com/sonsongithub/reddift.git --single-branch --branch v1.6.0

It's becoming clear that this is a cocoapods problem, not a reddift problem.

[colindean]

Workaround for me was to use an older git, because apparently 2.9.0 changed something and cocoapods hasn't caught up yet.

PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/git/2.8.3/bin:$PATH pod install

[sonsongithub]

Good.
