Does anyone know how I can resolve an issue running

pod lib lint

on the podspec for a kotlin native mpp project? I have the framework built in the

build/cocoapods/framework

folder successfully. I'm looking to deploy it to our private pod repo. I run

pod lib lint

on the podspec and it errors out at:

- ERROR | xcodebuild: Returned an unsuccessful exit code.

    * What went wrong:
    Gradle could not start your build.
    > Could not create service of type CrossBuildFileHashCache using BuildSessionServices.createCrossBuildFileHashCache().
       > Failed to create parent directory '/.gradle' when creating directory '/.gradle/6.4.1/fileHashes'

Has anyone run into this before when trying to publish a pod? This is using the pod spec from the cocoapods plugin

Hello, @kevinskrei! The problem looks like the Gradle cannot create its cache folder at the

<ProjectDir>/.gradle

. Does this directory exist when you open the project directory with Finder?

@Artyom Degtyarev [JB] thank you for responding. Yes, it does exist and contains a few folders like 6.4.1, checksums, and buildOutputCleanup. I also tried deleting it and that did not resolve the issue

Yes I’m also thinking that incorrect

$PODS_TARGET_SRCROOT

contents. As far as I can get, this should be resolved to

project/shared

automatically. Found several issues on the CocoaPods GH(like this one: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/7905), but I’m not sure how exactly this should be changed to work as expected.

@kevinskrei did you solved the issue?

@Vitor Prado I did not. I abandoned the MPP because of this. But will probably revisit soon

i found a solution:

Pod::Spec.new do |spec|
    spec.name                     = '...'
    spec.version                  = "1.0.0"
    spec.homepage                 = '<https://github.com/org/name>'
    spec.source                   = { :git => 'git@github.com:org/name.git',
                                      :tag => "#{spec.version}"
                                    }
    spec.authors                  = { }
    spec.summary                  = '...'

    spec.static_framework         = true
    spec.vendored_frameworks      = "pods/name.framework"
    spec.framework                = 'name'
    spec.libraries                = "c++"
    spec.module_name              = "#{spec.name}_umbrella"

    spec.platform = :ios
    spec.ios.deployment_target = '13.5'

    spec.pod_target_xcconfig = {
        'KOTLIN_TARGET[sdk=iphonesimulator*]' => 'ios_x64',
        'KOTLIN_TARGET[sdk=iphoneos*]' => 'ios_arm'
    }

    spec.prepare_command = <<-SCRIPT
        set -ev
        ./gradlew --no-daemon -Pframework=#{spec.name}.framework linkReleaseFrameworkIos --stacktrace --info
        cp -R name/build/bin/ios/releaseFramework/name.framework pods/name.framework
        SCRIPT
end

with this I can generate and push to private repo without problems
