Objective Sharpie Error: Failed to run pod list

Question

I'm using Cocoapods 1.4.0, Visual Studio Community for Mac 7.3.3 (build 12), Objective Sharpie 3.4.0-c0f0e73, Mac OS 10.12.6 (Sierra)

whenever I try to add the example Cocoapod on https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/macios/binding/objective-sharpie/examples/cocoapod/

I get the following error:

mbp:iOS user$ sharpie pod init ios AFNetworking

error: Failed to run pod list

Does anyone know why, and who to work this around?

I'm just trying to add a Pod.

Note: I have no issues when trying to use CocoaPods on an Native iOS Project

I was using cocoapods 1.5, I downgraded to 1.3 then to 1.1 but still having the same issue : "error: Failed to run pod list" — AmineG
I had the same error, over and over again, I was testing Xamarin with a well known library, at the end I went the React-Native way. — dvilla
This issue seems to be still present 6 months after the original question was posted. — Preslav Rachev
Actually 3 years later of the original date of this question and this bug is still not solved !! shame on Microsoft and shame on Xamarin team !! it has been this frustrating since years .. these guys don't really care about us dev community ! — Mohammad Zekrallah

This works fine for me using a fresh install of CocoaPods and Objective Sharpie.

Install CocoaPods from Homebrew:

brew install cocoapods

Find latest Objective Sharpie release on the Xamarin Forums and install it by double clicking the pkg file.

Now just run the same command you already tried:

sharpie pod init ios AFNetworking

--- ~/derp » sharpie pod init ios AFNetworking

CocoaPods 1.6.0.beta.1 is available.
To update use: `gem install cocoapods --pre`
[!] This is a test version we'd love you to try.

For more information, see https://blog.cocoapods.org and the CHANGELOG for this version at https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/releases/tag/1.6.0.beta.1

** 🍻  Success! You can now use other `sharpie pod` commands.

The only thing that might be different here is that I have ssh config set up for GitHub.
