error: unable to parse target SDK from platform in Podfile

I don't understand since the command

pod install

worked correctly.

this is my podfile:

install! 'cocoapods', :integrate_targets => false
target 'ObjectiveSharpieIntegration' do
  platform :tvos, '11.2'
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'TVVLCKit-unstable', '3.0.0a50'
end

this Is how my terminal look like

error: unable to parse target SDK from platform in Podfile

Do you know a way to fix this or how to create the bind project I need?

(also can anyone tell me if the instruction for an IOS library and TVOS library are the same I only found documentation for IOS)

(also Can I use IOS, MACOS library in TVOS project in C# using Xamarin)

Thanks

Answer 1

I know it's been a while, but I didn't find this until I end up with the same issue.

It took me a while to figure out, but I got it thanks to the clue of the error message.

What's happening here is Objective Sharpie trying to get a platform SDK from the Podfile. So, following CocoaPods Syntax Reference at the end of your Podfile, just add:

platform :ios, '14.5' //14.5 or whatever

Now run again

sharpie pod bind

And if everything went good, it should output at the end
