Having trouble installing Cocoapods on an obtained project

Question

I have received a project from a colleague that does not have the frameworks included in the files, I didn't think it would be that big of an issue as I have used Cocoapods in the past without ever running into any problems, however I am really having trouble with the install of these. Below is my Podfile and the error I am receiving when attempting to do a pod install. Can someone please tell me what is going wrong and give me some idea of how to fix it.

The error log:

 * mistyped the name or version.

A good starting point can be to run a pod deintegrate command.

In the past when I've had issues with CocoaPods, restarting my configuration from scratch resolved my errors.

You could try the following commands to start from a clean slate. Make sure to shelve your Pod file elsewhere so you can reference what frameworks you wanted to install.

$ sudo gem install cocoapods-deintegrate cocoapods-clean
$ pod deintegrate
$ pod cache clean --all
$ rm Podfile

Then, follow up and perform:

pod install
pod update

Alternatively, you may have an issue with your node installation since you are using React, in which case I'd recommend referencing this post

Note: what could be happening is that your frameworks are simply out of date, and they may be cached in your system, thus linking to older mismatched references.
