Cocoapods-art Installation gives : Unable to find a specification for `SocketRocket (= 0.7.1)` depended upon by `React-Core`

[vladgrisko]

Description

We build a package for native modules, and we import a native SDK in iOS using cocoapods-art plugin for jfrog.

pod install fails with :
Unable to find a specification for SocketRocket (= 0.7.1) depended upon by React-Core
only when we use :
plugin 'cocoapods-art', :sources => [
'OUR SDK'
]

before upgrading application with RN ^0.73 we had:
Unable to find a specification for libevent (~> 2.1.12)

IMPORTANT:
we are able to solve the bug when:

1. remove dependency from package.json
2. rm package.json && node_modules && cd ios && pod deintegrate && rm podfile.lock && cd ..
3. npm i && cd ios && pod install && cd ..
4. npm i dependency
5. cd ios
6. put this code into podfile : plugin 'cocoapods-art', :sources => [ OUR SDK ]
7. pod install

Steps to reproduce

1. npm install (including dependency in package.json)
2. cd ios
3. pod install

You have either:
 * out-of-date source repos which you can update with `pod repo update` or with `pod install --repo-update`.
 * mistyped the name or version.
 * not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.

We use a private SDK, i can't share a repro because you will not get access to the package, any other way?

Not really. If we can't reproduce the issue is extremely complicated for us

Hi @vladgrisko , where u able to solve the issue?

[Senninseyi]

Hi @vladgrisko , please were you able to solve the issue

[vladgrisko]

hey, we have included a script that does the following:
remove all node_modules, podfile.lock, pods
removes all reference to our jfrog import in podfile
npm install on clean project (no refererence to import in podfile)
compile the project (build or run)
add the module in package.json + add jfrog import
basically what happens is that the plugin import for some reason pulls old version of react, so you first need to install everything with the local correct version, and then use the jfrog plugin
