Error: "The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock..." after installing RestKit with cocoapods

Question

I've encountered an strange issue after installing RestKit with cocoapods. after resolving RestKit dependency for my project with cocoapods and trying to build it, I face this error:

The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

I tried running pod install, but no change.

Did you try `Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.` as suggested by the error? — Wain, Jan 26 '14 at 17:13
Can you post the version of Restkit in the `Podfile.lock` and in `Pods/Manifest.lock`? That error occurs when these are not the same. — MishieMoo, Jan 27 '14 at 02:22
The error above the "sandbox" error is "diff: command not found" I don't know if reinstalling diff could fix the problem, but it may be a hint as to what's happening. — Thunder Rabbit, Feb 09 '14 at 02:28

I was able to fix that by updating CocoaPods.

I. Project Cleanup

In the project navigator, select your project
Select your target
Remove all libPods*.a in Build Phases > Link Binary With Libraries

II. Update CocoaPods

Launch Terminal and go to your project directory.
Update CocoaPods using the command pod install

After many attemps I managed to fix this problem. Variable ${PODS_ROOT} was not set and I do below trick. Go to Build Phases -> Check Pods Manifest.lock and replace

diff "${PODS_ROOT}/../Podfile.lock" "${PODS_ROOT}/Manifest.lock" > /dev/null

Why $PODS_ROOT is not setted up? Do I need to reinstall pods for my project? – Petr Syrov Nov 03 '15 at 13:33

The reason why $PODS_ROOT was not set is mainly because the .xcconfig file generated by cocoapods is not applied to the build target. – Fujia Jul 26 '16 at 05:37

If you remove all pods from your target in the Podfile, e.g.

target 'myTarget' do
pod 'great-stuff', '~> 4.0'  // you deleted this last pod
end

you'll need to manually delete these builds steps from your Xcode target Build Phases:

Check Pods Manifest.lock
Copy Pod resources

Cocoapods (current stable version 0.37.2) does not perform this cleanup when you run pod install.

Removing pods from the project and re-installing worked for me.

There is nice GitHub repository that can completely remove the pods from the project.

Just keep the backup of your PodFile and run below commands.

gem install cocoapods-deintegrate
gem install cocoapods-clean
Go to the project directory and run pod deintegrate
Again run pod clean
Run pod install

Clean and run.

If you are seeing an error like the following:

diff: /../Podfile.lock: No such file or directory diff: /Manifest.lock: No such file or directory error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

Then there's a problem with Cocoapods in your project. Sometimes cocoapods can get out of sync and you need to re-initiate cocoapods. You should be able to resolve this error by:

Deleting the Podfile.lock file in your project folder
Deleting the Pods folder in your project folder
Execute 'pod install' in your project folder
Do a "Clean" in Xcode
Rebuild your project

After changing target name

My problem was xcconfig with old target names.

Went to project file -> info -> configuration
Removed old xcconfig (both Debug & Release)
pod install

It would update to new ones.

Also if you had missing .h files that's the reason (pods header search path is in these xcconfig)

This worked for me in a Cordova iOS build, while the accepted answer did not work. – Bastian Blankenburg Nov 08 '19 at 10:14
Thank you for pointing out the origin of the error, but this also didn't solve my issue. Ideally Cordova do not recommend modifying their pod file, but if we delete the Podfile.lock and do a pod install again with the modified Podfile , there should not be an error. So, as a last option I commented the if condition, since I feel it is not a necessary check, and thus I came out of the issue. – Shihab Mar 09 '21 at 14:52

mfaani · Answer 10 · 2021-07-19T02:28:57.623

First you have to understand what the Podfile.lock is then understand what the Manifest.lock is and where it's used.

The Podfile holds either the (optimistic or exact) versions of every dependency you have. The lock file holds only exact versions.

Once you do pod install all the pods get downloaded/installed into the /pods directory. You may want to commit them Or maybe not. That's up to your team. What's NOT up to your team is decide if they should commit the the Podfile.lock or not. That needs to be committed so every dev in the team can be sure they've got the exact same version.

So let's say you downloaded your team’s code. In your project's root directory you only have Podfile and Podfile.lock and the Pods directory wasn’t committed.
Then you do pod install to creat the Pods directory. Your snapshot of every pods’ version should match with the versions of all pods from the Podfile.lock.
CocoaPods has a safety check in place, to ensure matching versions

This is where the Manifest.lock comes into play. Manifest.lock is your local machine's lock created. It has to match with Podfile.lock that is generated by the last commit (that caused changes in for your pods) in your repo. If it doesn't match then something is messed up.

Docs on what the Manifest.lock file is:

  #     Manifest.lock: A file contained in the Pods folder that keeps track of
  #     the pods installed in the local machine. This files is used once the
  #     exact versions of the Pods has been computed to detect if that version
  #     is already installed. This file is not intended to be kept under source
  #     control and is a copy of the Podfile.lock.

I honestly can only think of one scenario in which the Manifest.lock and Podfile.lock would be out of sync:

I mean if you pull from main branch, then you get main's Podfile and lock file. If you then make a change to the Podfile and then run pod install, then you would be updating the Podfile.lock and Manifest.lock and will keep them in sync. No issues with this

Is this just so that if:

You and your team don’t commit the /Pods directory
You have merge conflicts in your Podfile or Podfile.lock but don’t realize it. Or you haven't committed both Podfile and Podfile.lock
Then given that Xcode doesn’t process the Podfile and Podfile.lock, then naturally your project can build successfully.
However if you go in an inspect your Build Phases of your targets you'd see the following

That script is documented here

#     Adds a shell script build phase responsible for checking if the Pods
#     locked in the Pods/Manifest.lock file are in sync with the Pods defined
#     in the Podfile.lock.
#     
#     @note   The build phase is appended to the front because to fail fast.
#     
#     @return [void]

What those lines do are: perform a diff and ensure that sure your Manifest.lock i.e. your local snapshot of all installed pod versions are equal to Podfile.lock i.e. your repo's current snapshot of all installed pod versions.

The fix is likely super simple, just make sure you Podfile is what you want. Then just run pod install. You have also somehow accidentally made changes to your Manifest.lock inside your /Pods directory (or as mentioned earlier maybe only committed the lock file but not the Podfile or vice versa). Deleting /Pods directory causes no harm. Just do a pod install after. Do not do pod update unless that's what you want.

Just make sure you never delete the Podfile.lock otherwise if you do pod install then it would update all dependencies to the latest version it can.

Also helpful to see and this video on lock files, CocoaPods docs on how the lock file is put to use differently for pod install vs. pod update and last see how all that logic is used in more detail this artsy blog on checksums. It's worth noting that a single space will create a new checksum and can make things out of sync.

Did all of that didn't help. Pretty sure the test itself is buggy and produces a false failure. Not the first time I came across a sanity check which fails unnecessarily. There is a reason why I program sanity checks as **WARNINGS** and not as errors. — Martin, Mar 03 '21 at 10:31
@Martin I'm skeptical if you're correct. However if you're 100% sure, you can remove the check from your project's build phase — mfaani, Apr 03 '22 at 14:30

I encountered this issue with a misconfigured xcconfig file.

The Pods-generated xcconfig was not correctly #included in the customise xcconfig that I was using. This caused $PODS_ROOT to not be set resulting in the failure of diff "/../Podfile.lock" "/Manifest.lock", for obvious reasons, which Pods misinterprets as a sync issue.

If you download the project from github or copy from other place, then the dependencies library do not exists, there will be this issue.

You just need to cd to the project/project_name directory in terminal , use ls to check whether there is a Podfile file.

if there exists the Podfile, you just need to install the dependencyies:

pod install

The steps that worked for me (XCode 8.3.3/XCode 9 beta with a Swift 3.1 project)

 - Navigate to your project directory
 - pod install //which then asks you to do the next step
 - pod repo update //takes a while to update the repo
 - pod update
 - pod install
 - Close Xcode session
 - Open and Clean the project
 - Build/Run

Also make sure you open the .xcworkspace file rather than the project file (.xcodeproj) when working with pods. That should solve any errors with linking such as "Apple Mach -O Linker command failed"

Completely nothing worked out for me from these answers. Had to create the project again by running cordova platform add ios. What I've noticed, even freshly generated project with (in my case) Firebase pods caused the error message over and over again. In my opinion looks like a bug for some (Firebase, RestKit) pods in Xcode or CocoaPods. To have the pods included I could simply edit my config.xml and run cordova platform add iOS, which did everything for me automatically. Not sure if it will work in all scenarios though.

Edit: I had a Podfile from previous iOS/Xcode, but the newest as of today have # DO NOT MODIFY -- auto-generated by Apache Cordova in the Podfile. This turned on a light in my head to try the approach. Looks a bit trivial, but works and my Firebase features worked out.

This is the only method that worked for me. Tried all others. I deleted platforms and did a reinstall of 'cordova platform add ios'. I too think I had a previous platforms/ios which I used on a previous version of xcode. — Heath, Jun 23 '20 at 21:04

For me, working in flutter, the configuration was not automatically added due the existing configuration.

Adding #include "Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.profile.xcconfig" to Flutter/Release.xcconfig and Flutter/Debug.xcconfig

solved the issue.

When you do

pod install --verbose

make sure:

1- you are in the correct directory. Most times, when a github project is downloaded, there will be a master folder. You need to be inside the actual project name folder(masterfolder/project folder) in the terminal before you invoke pod install --verbose

2- Delete the old pod lock folder then clean the project using xcode clean & do pod install.

3- Keep your rvm updated.

If you are applying to the way Project Cleanup and your project still error.

You can go to tab Build Phases and then Find Check Pods Manifest.lock and remove the script.

Then type command to remove folder Pods like that rm -rf Pods

and then you need to remove Podfile.lock by command rm Podfile.lock

Probably, base on a situation you can remove file your_project_name.xcworkspace

Finally, you need the command to install Pod pod install --repo-update.

Hopefully, this solution comes up with you. Happy coding :)

@JVillella you should not remove that script from the build phase. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/65783259/5175709) . That script is there to make sure you're snapsho of all dependencies is in sync with the snapshot of your repo. Or perhaps after you remove it, it gets added again – mfaani Jan 18 '21 at 23:23

Check in your project that Pods are maybe not being pushed to Git. So it's obvious that compile will break since it cannot find the Pods directory

 diff "${PODS_ROOT}/../../Podfile.lock" "${PODS_ROOT}/Manifest.lock" > /dev/null

I solved this by issuing pod install in the Terminal after navigating to my project's directory.

Indeed, I had an error cannot find pod command which meant that cocoapods were not installed. This is fixed via gem install cocoapods. If you get any dependency error, just install each command that is reported missing. In my case I had to update Ruby and after that cocoapods were installed properly and I was able to use the command pod install.

PS. If you have Pods directory, try pod update. Maybe your library needs updating.

I pulled request from bitbucket for first time. I cleaned my project and tried everything(pod install, pod update etc.) but none of the above answer worked for me. Then I just check the path where I was installing the pod and corrected it and installed again,It just worked. Make sure give the path just before where .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace(if it is already there)exist. May be someone get benefitted from this.

Welcome to SO, you could take the tour [here](https://stackoverflow.com/tour) and your answers will be always appreciated. Even though your answer might be relevant, its a bit confusing as per how you guessed the mentioned versions as there is not any specific comment on that.

For me it was an issue with the Ruby version number.

I was getting the error:

The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

After trying a million things, including much of what is included in this thread I wound up hacking the pod file located at: usr/local/bin/pod

I corrected the first line to point to the ruby version that actually existed on my machine. I changed:

#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/bin/ruby

to

#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/bin/ruby

After days of struggling, changing a 3 to a 6 fixed everything.

In my case, this problem was due to a corrupt *.xcworkspace file. It was showing two different versions of my project in the Project Navigator menu on the left.

To verify, I removed the output redirection ( > /dev/null) from the bash script located in Build Phases > Check Pods Manifest.lock, so that it would print the diff to STDOUT. Sure enough, reading the build log, I had wildly different Podfile.lock and Manifest.lock output.

To fix it I deleted my *.xcworkspace, then ran pod install again from my ios folder. That autoregenerates the workspace file. Open that new file in XCode and voila, no more build errors.

We had the same issue, someone in our team had opened the Podfile.lock in Visual Studio Code, saved it, and the editor had removed the CR (carriage return) at the end of the file. Reintroducing the 'CR' solved the problem. So definitely run that command to figure out why those files are different.
