pod install fails (not M1) — 401 when installing Boost #33462

Tycholiz · 2022-03-22T03:39:36Z

Description

Following the docs, I'm initializing a new react-native with Typescript repo with the command

npx react-native init myproject --template react-native-template-typescript

Upon running that command, I get the following:

✔ Downloading template
✔ Copying template
✔ Processing template
✖ Installing CocoaPods dependencies (this may take a few minutes)
✖ Installing CocoaPods dependencies (this may take a few minutes)
error Error: Failed to install CocoaPods dependencies for iOS project, which is required by this template.
Please try again manually: "cd ./myproject/ios && pod install".

So I cd into the ios/ directory and run pod install. Everything installs propery, but when I get to boost...

Installing boost (1.76.0)

I understand that it's the request to jfrog.io that's giving me the 401, but how do I get around this? I'm not even clear on why access to this package would be forbidden in the first place. Strangely, I can install the tar.bz2 file directly just by putting that URL into my address bar. Why would it return a 401 to cURL?

I'm a web developer so I'm used to the npm ecosystem and have never faced a 401 before.

What can I do to move past this?

I found a workaround, though admittedly it's pretty lame and is no better than a bandaid solution. The approach is to download the file and then source it from the local filesystem, rather than making a network call:

Download the tar.bz2 file from https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2
move the (compressed) file to node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs
open node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/boost.podspec
change the :http part of the spec.source key to:

:http => 'file:' + __dir__ + '/boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2'

run pod install

note: you may need to adjust the version of the boost package your project specifies.

khokanuzzman · 2022-03-23T05:46:01Z

try
git config --global core.autocrlf false
brew install cocoapods

rushi-b-vachhani · 2022-04-09T08:33:30Z

@Tycholiz Have you got the solution? Actually, I got the same error but I am using Mac with M1 chip.

Tycholiz · 2022-04-09T14:50:39Z

No solution yet unfortunately. With my workaround above I haven't ran into the issue since. I expect it will poke its head soon though.

Tycholiz · 2022-04-15T03:50:55Z

bump on this issue

Tried to initialize a new project today and got the 401 again, this time on OpenSSL package.

rushi-b-vachhani · 2022-04-15T05:18:22Z

@Tycholiz I resolved my issue with command:
pod repo update

Tycholiz · 2022-04-15T14:56:45Z

No luck, still getting error:

@Tycholiz I resolved this issue by removing the following line from ~/.netrc.

ghasemikasra39 · 2022-05-28T12:20:48Z

Updating cocoapods via sudo gem install cocoapods fixed this issue.

cortinico · 2022-06-01T14:54:28Z

Closing as I believe this was a transient issue, related to local network configuration (.netrc file, VPNs or flakyness on cocoapod side). Feel free to re-open if the issue persists consistently.

I've also tested this locally on the RC for 0.69, and everything works 👍

mutablestudio · 2022-06-13T16:52:39Z

I experienced this yesterday - no idea why. The boost install step has been hanging for several years for me. Only happens occasionally. I thought maybe it was a DNS issue or something like that, tried using a VPN (I'm in the EU). Anyway, this clean step worked for me:

cd ios && rm -rf Pods && rm -rf Podfile.lock && rm -rf build && pod deintegrate && cd ..

...then run pod install

The key fix for me was adding deintegrate.

mariogruizdiaz · 2022-07-07T14:13:42Z

I am having the same error. @Tycholiz did you fix it?

Tycholiz · 2022-07-07T14:43:15Z

I did not. The workaround I posted above was sufficient to move past

mariogruizdiaz · 2022-07-07T15:15:33Z

@Tycholiz the only workaround that I see you posted is about the 401 aover boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2, but in this case the problem is about "Error installing OpenSSL-Universal", are them related?

URvesh109 · 2022-07-19T10:15:14Z

@URvesh109 Thanks but it didn't work

Tycholiz · 2022-07-19T18:13:06Z

I'm pretty sure this issue is related to something at the network level. I'm not sure what my exact setup was at the time, but see if you are on a VPN. Maybe even try a different wifi network to see if the result changes.

It's quite a strange issue and I'm not exactly sure what to think about it

URvesh109 · 2022-07-19T18:44:34Z

@Tycholiz true it is strange issue
Now below link is also working

crackerack · 2022-10-10T17:32:08Z

I am still seing this issue. Is there anything besides the workaround? A lot of people seem to have reported this.

glhrmoura · 2022-11-04T18:57:04Z

Worked for me:

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
rm -rf Pods
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
pod deintegrate
pod setup
pod install

williamgurzoni · 2022-11-09T01:46:10Z

What worked for me was just waiting the download... The link was downloading on an average of 25KB/s.
After waiting for a loooong time it worked.

runtimeterror1997 · 2022-11-09T16:22:43Z

Worked for me:

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods

This worked for me. Thank you

msahin35 · 2022-12-07T18:11:03Z

For workaround solution. You don't need to download the tar.bz2. And move to node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs.
Only change line
spec.source = { :http => 'https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2',
:sha256 => 'f0397ba6e982c4450f27bf32a2a83292aba035b827a5623a14636ea583318c41' }

vladanyes · 2023-01-10T08:57:05Z

Connecting to another wifi(iPhone hotspot) solved the issue for me.

react06 · 2023-01-12T11:56:52Z

hit the same command pod install after failing works for me, might be network issue.

ricardodolnl · 2023-01-30T15:02:18Z

I tried to run the curl command itself (/usr/bin/curl -f -L -o ... and i noticed that that command only works if the -f option is removed. Only than it'll use the .netrc file the way it should. But i don't know how to fix this of pod install.

Btw I have this problem while installing mapbox.

Adnan-Bacic · 2023-04-12T07:30:08Z

running pod deintegrate as some people have suggested, deletes quite a few lines of code in ios/projectName.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file.

is this okay?

either way, this solution sadly didnt work for me.

manually editing node_modules/ would only work locally, and would still fail on CI builds.(even changing it locally didnt work for me)

is this a widespread problem people have? i just got the problem yesterday, while this issue is a year old.

aleena-adnan1 · 2023-06-16T13:46:17Z

did you find out any work around @Adnan-Bacic ?

Adnan-Bacic · 2023-06-17T20:06:01Z

@aleena-adnan1 as someone else suggested, i just waited. it takes a very long time. i honestly didnt look at the time but i guess it was at least 30 min, if not 60+
