is CocoaPods “pod install” working

Question

How can I check if "pod install" command of CocoaPods is actually downloading pods or not? It seems doing nothing, it's about 10 minutes it's status is : Analysing Dependencies

Answer 1

pod --verbose install appears the be the command that will show you more.

This is a list of the options for the pod command

Options:

    --silent     Show nothing
    --version    Show the version of CocoaPods
    --no-color   Show output without color
    --verbose    Show more debugging information
    --help       Show help banner of specified command

Answer 2

It is a verbose command so it tells you each time it's doing something, download Bolts , installing Bolts , etc...

Have you made sure your cocoa pods install is up to date.

gem update cocoapods

from the commend line.

If that doesn't work... what's in your Podfile ?

Use the Activity Monitor to check whether the Terminal is receiving data.

But when it show Analysing Dependencies, it actually do nothing about downloading. All you can do is waiting.
