Сocoapods trunk URL couldn't be downloaded

Question

I am getting this error when I try to pod repo update and pod install

CDN: trunk URL couldn't be downloaded: https://cdn.cocoapods.org/deprecated_podspecs.txt, error: Failed to open TCP connection to cdn.cocoapods.org:443 (No route to host - connect(2) for "cdn.cocoapods.org" port 443)

Does somebody know how to fix this problem?

Works for me too, except that I used `pod update` instead of `pod install`. – KoCMoHaBTa Apr 13 '20 at 10:14

It would be good, if you will explain what this command do and what can it affect to. – Nike Kov Jul 29 '20 at 15:00
`pod install` not works, but `pod update` works for me. – Kimi Chiu Mar 18 '21 at 06:17
Works for me only after restarting my PC. :/ – Moosa Baloch Apr 13 '21 at 09:38
This works for me. But it keeps happening every so often and breaks my build until I ssh into build machine and run `pod repo remove trunk` manually. Why does this happen? Should `pod repo remove trunk` be a build step that is executed every time? – funkybro Jan 06 '22 at 09:56
You do not have permission to delete the trunk repository.Perhaps try prefixing this command with sudo. – Rohit Singh Oct 20 '22 at 17:03

It seems that it's a cdn problem because when i use proxy the link https://cdn.cocoapods.org/all_pods_versions_e_2_1.txt is opened and when not it return error.

What i did: gem uninstall cocoapods gem cleanup rvm osx-ssl-certs update all

That didn't help.

Then i went to Chrome and opened https://cdn.cocoapods.org/all_pods_versions_e_2_1.txt it was an error. Then i cleared cache but it didn't help. After switching to proxy and returning back it started to work.

Resume: Turn on and switch off the VPN.

Also try to pod cache clean --all and pod setup by @NightWatcher

Step one. Remove trunk & master

pod repo remove trunk
pod repo remove master

Step two. Add source in podfile.

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

Step three. Run pod update. Solve my problem.

pod update --verbose

I fixed it by this solution Add this to your Podfile:

source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

Afterwards, run the following command to remove it from your managed repo list (in console):

pod repo remove master

I spend hours by uninstalling and reinstalling pods, Connecting and disconnecting wifi, and trying out different solutions I could find from the internet. And nothing worked. Finally I decided to restart my Macbook and the problem solved. So before trying the solutions given above, I would strongly recommend you to try restarting your system.

After checking all the answers and using VPN just to update pods, I've tried:

pod repo remove trunk
pod repo remove master
sudo rm -rf ~/.cocoapods/repos
pod update

I'm not specifying this BTW:
source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

And all worked.

Based on this github comment: whenever cocoapods CDN not working due to DNS issues, try adding directly the url that cdn.cocoapods.org redirects to, as a source in the top level of your Podfile:

source 'https://cocoapods-cdn.netlify.app/'

This link is no longer a valid option. The url redirects to a blog post indicating that 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org' should be used. – Phill Healey May 03 '21 at 12:12
@PhillHealey just tested the source url in a `Podfile` and seams to work fine. Also the link for the github comment seams to be correct. At which url you are referring to? – gcharita May 03 '21 at 12:55

If you go to 'https://cocoapods-cdn.netlify.app/' in a browser it redirects. – Phill Healey May 03 '21 at 13:03

For those, who faced with the following:

[!] CDN: trunk Repo update failed - 1 error(s): CDN: trunk URL couldn't be downloaded: https://...podspec.json Response: 429 429: Too Many Requests

You should remove Podfile.lock, Pod folder and reconnect to your VPN (if any) then run

pod install --repo-update

sudo gem install cocoapods-deintegrate cocoapods-clean
pod deintegrate
pod cache clean --all
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods
pod install or pod update

Faced the same issue and tried all the answers suggested above. But, the real issue seemed to be with not being able to access the Git repo for Cocoapods: ‘error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied’

Executing sudo chown -R $USER: . at /Users/user_name/.cocoapods/repos/cocoapods fixed the issue

If all the answers did not help, try these steps:

Make sure you're in ios folder and list all available pod repos

pod repo list
Iterate over the list and delete all of them

pod repo remove [repo_name]
In any folder on your local machine, clone Cocoapods Github repo

git clone "https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git"
At the top of your podfile, reference only this local repo

source '/Users/hossamabdelnaser/Specs' # This depends on where you cloned the repo
Make sure you're in ios folder and install pods

pod install

Hope that helps
