Wow, this is weird. I guess this is a constant lookup issue in the Ruby version you’re using…

Can you edit line 298 of /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/xcodeproj-0.19.3/lib/xcodeproj/plist_helper.rb to look like this?

  def self.CFTypeRefPointer
    pointer = Fiddle::Pointer.malloc(Fiddle::SIZEOF_INTPTR_T, free_function)
    def pointer.ptr
      ::CoreFoundation.CFAutoRelease(super)
    end
    pointer
  end

And let me know if that fixes it?

This looks like your terminal is not configured for UTF-8. Something like the following could help, otherwise please use google to find the answer that’s correct for your environment:

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8  
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

alloy · 2014-10-10T08:13:22Z

@dornad Any update on this? I’m awaiting your input as to whether or not I should be pushing that change.

florent37 · 2014-10-11T10:38:04Z

I have the same issue, using the UTF8 does not change anything

idozamberg · 2014-10-12T09:27:45Z

Having the same issue - any news ?

florent37 · 2014-10-12T15:07:01Z

It was juste a merging fail with git for me...

segiddins · 2014-10-14T16:55:24Z

@dornad ping?

dornad · 2014-10-14T17:44:56Z

It was definitely not an issue with the terminal, since another cocoapods project was building.

In the end, I had to go back in time with git, and figure out at what point the project got corrupted. From there, I was able to pinpoint the issue to a faulty merge in a previous commit.

TL;DR A faulty git merge issue in project.pbxproj was causing it.

Ok, thanks for the update.

A few people have reported an issue where the CFAutoRelease constant could not be found from the singleton method. * CocoaPods/CocoaPods#2632 * CocoaPods/CocoaPods#2739 I have been unable to reproduce this, but because the issue has been reported by more than one person, I'm adding this just to be sure.

paulrehkugler · 2014-10-29T16:15:16Z

For anyone else with this issue, I saw the same thing because Github for Mac didn't tell me about project file conflicts. If your project file has conflict markers in it, you'll see this. Might be worthwhile to spit out an intelligent error if the project file has conflict markers or is otherwise malformed.

segiddins · 2014-10-29T16:18:24Z

@paulrehkugler that's already been done at CocoaPods/Xcodeproj#192 :)
