Cocoapods and forked repo issue

Question

So here's my podfile:

workspace 'WSPhoto.xcworkspace'
platform :ios, :deployment_target => "6.1"

xcodeproj 'WSPhoto'

pod 'Parse-iOS-SDK', '~> 1.2.17'
pod 'REActivityViewController',  :git => 'https://github.com/ramsel/REActivityViewController.git', :commit => 'f027011e8159393cf678d7c67c408891b609a6ef'
pod 'SWTableViewCell', :git => 'https://github.com/ramsel/SWTableViewCell.git', :commit => '6f4e55e554c1b26ff3c850eb331273b536e4f900'
pod 'ELCImagePickerController', '~> 0.2.0'
pod 'ChimpKit'

I'm forking a couple repos and pointing Cocoapods to specific commits of my forks based on the advice in my previous question:

CocoaPods and GitHub forks

However, I get the following error on pod install --verbose:

I tried referencing a different my fork of REActivityViewController but same error. I commented out the REActivityViewController line in my podfile and the fork of SWTableViewCell install fine.

So I'm thinking it's something particular to my REActivityViewController fork but it's not particular to a specific commit in that fork.

Answer 1

So this worked:

pod 'REActivityViewController',  :git => 'https://github.com/ramsel/REActivityViewController.git', :commit => 'f027011e8159393cf678d7c67c408891b609a6ef',  :branch => 'master'

I just had to add:

:branch => 'master'
