Cocoapods: Unable to find a specification for [PrivateSpec] depended upon by [PrivateClientSpec]
The reason is that the pod spec linter is only checking the master specs, so it can't find your private one.
You'll need to use the --sources option, like this:
pod spec lint --sources='git@our-private-spec-repo:iOS/Specs.git,https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs'
Two things two note:
- Your private specs need to be online, can't check on a local one
- If you depend on other pods you'll need to add the URL for their Spec repo too, that's why in the example we have https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs too.
By running pod spec lint --help you can read more about this option:
--sources=https://github.com/artsy/Specs The sources from which to pull
dependant pods (defaults to
https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git).
Multiple sources must be
comma-delimited.
More on this here and here
In order for pod install to work properly I still had to add:
source '<Prive specs lib URL>'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
..to the pod file (not podspec).
To get rid of:
Unable to find a specification for [PrivateSpec] depended upon by [PrivateClientSpec]
Then If you also failed to install with error like this
pod install --verbose

[!] Your Podfile has had smart quotes sanitised. To avoid issues in the future, you should not use TextEdit for editing it. If you are not using TextEdit, you should turn off smart quotes in your editor of choice.
Then you should try to update your CocoaPods version. This may help you: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39973232/3395008
In case mokagio's answer doesn't work for anyone, here is what worked for me:
Just change private repo url to https://
pod spec lint --sources='https://our-private-spec-repo:iOS/Specs.git,https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs'
