Hi,
anyone who would know ?
If I add pod dependency into build.gradle, it's working fine from Android studio,
however it fails if I build the app from xcode due to env: pod: No such file or directory ?

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

For more on this, please refer to <https://docs.gradle.org/8.5/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings> in the Gradle documentation.

I do have cocoapods installed. (tried reinstall etc).
It used to work, but I probably did something in xcode/gradle which broke it

[Jeff Lockhart]

Xcode uses its own PATH to find executables like pod. I've found if you didn't install CocoaPods with sudo and the system Ruby, then Xcode can't find it. That might be your issue.

[Jiri Bruchanov]

I don't think it's my case,
if I download a web sample it just works

[Jeff Lockhart]

Well, the error indicates Xcode can't find the pod executable. Are you sure the other project uses CocoaPods and doesn't integrate the Kotlin shared module without it? How did you install CocoaPods?

[Jiri Bruchanov]

basically this shared/gradle.build

apply plugin: libs.plugins.jetbrains.cocoapods.get().pluginId
cocoapods {
           ...
            pod('CocoaAsyncSocket') {
                version = libs.versions.cocoa.async.socket.get()
            }
        }

[Jeff Lockhart]

Is that the app that works or the one that doesn't?

[Jiri Bruchanov]

this is example from the failing one

[Jiri Bruchanov]

the working one is slightly different, as it's own module

[Jeff Lockhart]

If it doesn't use CocoaPods, it wouldn't have the same error.

[Jiri Bruchanov]

but I think you are right, something might be broken with the PATH,
because if I start messing with the build script it really can't see the pod

[Jiri Bruchanov]

it's using cocoapods, it's just not in shared, it own project module

[Jeff Lockhart]

Did you install CocoaPods as a local user or with sudo?

[Jiri Bruchanov]

sudo gem install cocoapods

[Jeff Lockhart]

Try running that again.

[Jiri Bruchanov]

same thing...

[Jeff Lockhart]

What's the path you get for where pod?

[Jiri Bruchanov]

/Users/scurab/.rvm/rubies/ruby-3.1.2/bin/pod

[Jiri Bruchanov]

interestingly, if I run where pod from the xcode build script
it fails, that where is unknown

[Jiri Bruchanov]

I must've broken the PATH somehow or something similar for that project

[Jiri Bruchanov]

is there some xcode PATH config visible ?
so I can compare it between my projects ?

[Jeff Lockhart]

Not that I've been able to find, which is why I ended up just installing globally instead of as a local Ruby gem.

[Jeff Lockhart]

But if that's the only path you get with where pod, that is a local installed gem, which Xcode won't see on its modified PATH.

[Jeff Lockhart]

I don't think you've messed up Xcode's PATH, as it's really locked down and doesn't include everything on your global system PATH.

[Jeff Lockhart]

For me, I have pod in:

/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/pod
/usr/local/bin/pod

So Xcode can see one or both of those paths. You need to be sure Ruby is installing to those locations.

[Jiri Bruchanov]

ah, progress...
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
helps, at least to next step which is failing 🙂

[Jiri Bruchanov]

strangely I must have somehow messed ruby versions...
because terminal is running 3.1.2...
but xcode ^ 2.6

[Jeff Lockhart]

Yeah, it can be a mess with Xcode and its custom PATH, installing different Ruby versions, etc.

[Jeff Lockhart]

You'll need to be sure CocoaPods is installed by the same Ruby version that Xcode sees, so it gets all its dependencies also installed for that Ruby install.

[Jiri Bruchanov]

I'll look into that...
thanks a lot for help

[Jiri Bruchanov]

@Jeff Lockhart
can you tell me what ruby version do you have ?

[Jeff Lockhart]

I have Ruby 3.2.2 installed. But system Ruby that Xcode sees is 2.6.10p210.

[Jiri Bruchanov]

🤔 cocoapods fails to install asking ruby >=2.7.0

[Jiri Bruchanov]

which makes me thinking how does it work from xcode

[Jeff Lockhart]

I just installed it with sudo gem install cocoapods, which still used the 3.2.2 version, but installed it to the general path that Xcode can see. I'm not sure why it doesn't do that in your case.

[Jiri Bruchanov]

assuming ruby -v is 3.2.2 ?

[Jiri Bruchanov]

hm,
finally it works, however not totally satisfied that I know what I did to fix it 🙂

[Jiri Bruchanov]

but deffo it has something to do with multiple versions of ruby installed
