Cocoapod is giving error with pod install and not generating xcworkspace

Question

I am using the Xcode 7.2 with CocoaPods 0.37.2.

I am trying to install a plugin through CocoaPods and its giving me the below error and its not generating the xcworkspace too.

I have gone through some links and they suggested to update the xcodeproject through the below command. Is this the right way? does this have any kind of effect on my already built product?

I tried below command first however that did not work

sudo xcode-select -r

Some people are suggesting to update through this

"gem install xcodeproj -v 0.24.3" What does it do?

Answer 1

Run sudo gem install cocoapods Or sudo gem update cocoapods

then Run pod install

in my case its resolved my issue.

Answer 2

I had to delete each instance of the cocoapod and then install 0.38.0 to resolve the issue.
