Xcode 8 cocoapods abort trap: 6

Question

localhost:PodTest3 haiwang$ pod install
Analyzing dependencies

Installing MBProgressHUD (0.9.2)
Installing Masonry (1.0.2)
Generating Pods project
Abort trap: 6

After upgrading to Xcode 8, cocoapods doesn't work anymore. I have tried to uninstall and install, but it still doesn't work.

I had try many ways, until update my ruby(2.0.0) to 2.2.4. Maybe I thought this BUG is caused by old ruby. — Hiuson Z, Dec 07 '16 at 01:51
I tried all of the above method to solve this issue. In the end, I solved this issue by updating the xcodeproj with gem. — weineel, Jan 04 '17 at 09:17

For me, I solved this issue by uninstalling and then again installing CocoaPods with --pre with the command

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

sudo gem install cocoapods --pre

Hopefully this will solve your problem.

Update

CocoaPods has released version 1.2.0, so you can now install using

sudo gem install cocoapods

And you will get version 1.2.0 installed

This is the trick - `cocoapods-1.2.0.beta.1` got installed above `cocoapods-1.1.1` -> `Xcode Version 8.1 (8B62)` – Warren Burton Nov 05 '16 at 18:56
Exactly @WarrenBurton... :-) – haider_kazal Nov 05 '16 at 19:40

I had the same problem. This fixed it. Version 1.0.1 was uninstalled (let it uninstall all versions, let it remove executables). Version 1.2.0.beta.1 was installed. Thank you, Haider! – Verticon Nov 19 '16 at 02:42
BTW: I'm on Sierra. Ruby version is 2.0.0p648. – Verticon Nov 19 '16 at 02:52
Worked fine on macOS Sierra 10.12.1. Current installed version for the time being is `1.2.0.beta.1` – Rajan Maheshwari Nov 25 '16 at 03:11
For completeness of preferred tools, equivalent command line `brew install --devel cocoapods` – Pavel Zdenek Dec 19 '16 at 08:54
confirming only thing that solved for me was updating to the beta – GarySabo Dec 20 '16 at 15:26
@haider_kazal Nothing will happen for other projects, is n't it? – Himanth Dec 27 '16 at 10:20
@himanth this commands will update the Cocoapods, not the project's pod file... So nothing will happen to projects – haider_kazal Dec 27 '16 at 10:22
Thanks @haider_kazal – Himanth Dec 27 '16 at 10:38

I see, you have the latest version then. Uninstalling it and Installing it again may solve the problem. It worked for me because I had an older version of cocoapods. – Gabriel Lidenor Dec 19 '16 at 23:38

If the simple uninstall by @haider_kazal doesn't work like it didn't for me, try to install RVM with ruby 2.5.5, then purge CocoaPods completely:

gem uninstall cocoapods
gem uninstall cocoapods-core
gem uninstall cocoapods-deintegrate
gem uninstall cocoapods-downloader
gem uninstall cocoapods-plugins
gem uninstall cocoapods-search
gem uninstall cocoapods-stats
gem uninstall cocoapods-try
gem uninstall cocoapods-trunk

And then install once again:

gem install cocoapods --pre

I'm having the same issue with Cocoapods 1.1.1 on rvm ruby (tried 2.2.4p230, and 2.0.0p648 which is the equal to system ruby version), with Xcode 8.1 (8B62), macOS 10.12.1 (16B2657), and only thing that helps me is updating to Cocoapods 1.2.0.beta.1, or using system ruby:

$ rvm system do pod install

and of course if you don't have cocoapods installed in system gemset:

$ sudo rvm system do gem install cocoapods

This should definitely help you.

However I'm not pleased with the previous version of Cocoapods as it has a few other issues.

 gem uninstall cocoapods
 sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

I made it work using Cocoapods 1.1.1 with Xcode 8.1 on macOS 10.12.1 (the one with TouchBar support) by removing generated workspace, running pod deintegrate and running pod install again.

With macOS `10.12.2 (16C67)` and Xcode `8.2.1 (8C1002)` the problem is no longer occurring using Cocoapods `1.1.1` with RVM. – Aleksander Zubala Jan 02 '17 at 10:48

This is the perfect solution when you are receiving the "Operation not permitted" error or xcode8 cocoapods abort trap:6.

Custom GEM_HOME

$ mkdir -p $HOME/Software/ruby
$ export GEM_HOME=$HOME/Software/ruby
$ gem install cocoapods
[...]

$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Software/ruby/bin
$ pod --version

It's problem with ruby in version 2.0.0 and cocoapods 1.1.1, so if you won't use prerelease version of cocoapods, just update your ruby version for example with rvm:

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Remember: After install of new ruby you need to install all gems one more time.

No more warnings :)

If you are an using old version of cocoapods and an old version of xCode you may find after updating to new cocoapods version it complains about your Podfile syntax.

In this situation, another alternative to solve the problem is to keep using the old cocoapods version and set the path to the old xCode version so that cocoapods uses old xctools versions for workspace modifications.

i.e. don't update cocoapods (keep using old version - e.g. 0.39.0) and instead run this command to point to different Xcode version:

sudo xcode-select --switch "path to old version of Xcode.app"

download xcode8-beta.

localhost:Applications haiwang$ sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer
    localhost:Applications haiwang$ xcode-select -p /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer

Please close any current Xcode sessions and use `PodTest7.xcworkspace` for this project from now on.

It is OK.
