Cocoapods: Pod is in the master repo but is not available for install

Question

I've created and submitted a podspec, BCJSONMapper, but when I search for it using pod search BCJSONMapper I receive the following error: [!] Unable to find a pod with name matching 'BCJSONMapper'.

The spec is in the master repo (it was submitted via trunk). I can use the pod as expected if I refer to a local copy of the podspec in a podfile (pod 'BCJSONMapper', :podspec => '~/path/to/local/copy/of/BCJSONMapper.podspec').

How do I fix this? This is the first podspec that I've submitted to the master repo so I may have missed something obvious.

Answer 1

I've fixed it. I solved it by removing my ~/.cocoapods/repos/master and letting Cocoapods re-initalize the repo. What was confusing was that the same error message was occurring on a different machine. It may have just been coincidence, but I guess it could also have been a bug in Cocoapods.
