Hi guys, having a similar issue? Don’t worry! After a long observation, I’ve finally come to the conclusion that if you encounter an error like this with any dependency or library you install:
CocoaPods could not find compatible versions
Just use the following pod commands:
1. Delete the Podfile.lock first:
rm Podfile.lock
2. Install the latest version of your dependencies/libraries:
pod install --repo-update
Done!
The issue "CocoaPods failed to find a compatible version" occurs when CocoaPods, a popular dependency manager for iOS projects, cannot locate a compatible library version that meets the project's requirements. This often arises when a specific library has version constraints that conflict with the project's iOS version, Xcode version, or other installed libraries. Such conflicts prevent CocoaPods from installing necessary libraries, thus disrupting the development process.
To resolve this issue, steps such as updating CocoaPods, verifying the version specifications in the Podfile, and adjusting the library or platform version may be required. Developers typically need to check each library's compatibility, especially when libraries are frequently updated or have cross-dependencies with other libraries. Understanding error messages and adjusting project configurations can help prevent or resolve these issues effectively.
