   It looks like our initialization check is looking for the local repo, but 1.8.0 uses the CDN by default which doesn't require it, so it's likely that pod setup is no longer pulling it down.

   We'll need to figure out how we want to handle this (assuming that is indeed what's going on). We should likely switch our Podspec template to use the CDN, but we'll need to see what is needed to handle projects with an existing Podspec (e.g., does Cocoapods now fetch it on demand when it encounters a Podspec using it?) and update the setup check accordingly, or we'll need to migrate existing Podspecs.

   Same here with 1.8.1. pod setup does nothing. Rollbacking to 1.7.5 was a successful workaround.

   I'm also getting this issue with 1.8.1, I can also confirm installing cocoapods 1.7.5 fixes it. Make sure to uninstall previous versions or it won't work! :)

   1. sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

      If using brew, run this too: brew uninstall cocoapods

   2. sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.7.5
   3. pod setup
   4. flutter doctor -v

   Maybe there should be a (temporary) note in the docs in the iOS setup while this is fixed.

   Edit: version 1.8.1 is now working as expected so no need for this workaround, see #41491

   It uses the CDN by default as of 1.8.0. What would need to be migrated in the Podfile (assuming you meant Podfile and not podspec)?

   Turns out nothing; I was thinking of the release notes mentioning changing the source:

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

   and assumed we had that in our Podfile. But I was just remembering seeing the commented-out CDN source line.

   So does that mean all we need to do here is make 1.8 the minimum and remove the check that the local repo is checked out (and the corresponding instructions)?

   Check out #41491. I skipped the local check then the version is >= 1.8. I removed the pod setup instructions from the installer comment, but they will pod setup instructions if they run again with an installed, uninitialized version < 1.8.

    As stated in #41253 (comment) you have to uninstall any previous version of cocoapods and install specific 1.7.5 version. You also ensure you didn't have any version installed through homebrew which could interfer with the gem one.

    I had exactly the same problem and solved it as follows: (assuming you installed two versions of Cocoapod):

    sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

    Select gem to uninstall:

    1. cocoapods-1.7.5
    2. cocoapods-1.8.1
    3. All versions

    2
    Successfully uninstalled cocoapods-1.8.1

    Folks, please avoid downgrading CocoaPods to work around a "flutter doctor" issue - CocoaPods 1.8+ usage of CDN is a fantastic feature and an outstanding performance optimization. Unless something is broken, try using the latest version (also, #41491 has the fix for Flutter).

    It's not just a flutter doctor issue, it's a flutter build/run issue. When the local repo isn't present pod install is skipped. 1eb1e22 is in v1.10.7, so once that hits stable the -v 1.7.5 instruction and note can be removed.

    Since the MR to fix that on 1.8+ detection, maybe it could be useful to include that as hotfix in current/next stable.

    We're evaluating hotfixing this to stable.

    If people are feeling confident, another option is to run the dev channel for now, which has received the fix in #41491 mentioned by @davidair .

    flutter channel dev

    After I switch to dev branch, I got a lots of issues
    so my suggestion is create fake folder under ~/.cocoapods/respos/master , it's fast and easy solution.

    Coming from linux, as per observation...
    Do not use sudo to use flutter. latest version of cocoapods with CDN works fine. Thanks.
