Unable to find a specification for SimpeAuth (cocoapods)

Question

I am trying to use SimpleAuth pod. My Podfile is

pod 'SimpleAuth'

I have changed the working directory of my terminal to the directory where my xcode project is present. Then I did

pod install

I got this message

Analyzing dependencies

[!] Unable to find a specification for `SimpleAuth`.

I tried searching for some possible solutions on google.

I got one solution as trying this

rm -rf ~/.cocoapods
pod setup
pod install

I tried this. The first line executed. Then, when I tried pod setup , I got this message

Setting up CocoaPods master repo
[!]The master repo is not a git repo

I got a solution for this asking me to try

git clone https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git ~/.cocoapods/repos/master

But that also gave an error

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: ___strlcpy_chk
  Referenced from: /usr/local/git/bin/git
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

dyld: Symbol not found: ___strlcpy_chk
  Referenced from: /usr/local/git/bin/git
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

Trace/BPT trap: 5

I even tried some other pods like SAMCache, Mantle etc. but same error every time. Can someone please help me?

A few weeks ago we changed the folder structure of the main Specs repo, so older versions no longer work. Please update your version of CocoaPods.
