Hi @moha974

You probably need CocoaPods installed on your machine (if your OS is MAC OS).

sudo gem install cocoapod

Hi!
Installing CocoaPods does not work for me. I´ve done everything like it is described on the nativeScript website for mac os. And of course, I´ve got Xcode intalled (version 8.2.1).
I´ve got Mac Os Sierra.
And

I have the same setup, and I am having the exact same issues.

[tkdaj]

I also have the same setup and am having the same issues. I followed the steps described here: https://docs.nativescript.org/start/ns-setup-os-x and I get the same messages.

[thowerton]

I found a solution that worked for me. My issue was related to the Xcode command line installation.

@thowerton that worked for me!! you made my day, thanks!

[Plamen5kov]

This issue is caused by a default variable, not being set. We took steps to show more verbose messages when running commands with --log trace. E.g. tns run ios --log trace. This should tell you if a default variable cannot be found in path. You can see more info in this PR
