CocoaPods@0 - Upgrade CocoaPods version 1.15.2

[djhr]

Current CocoaPods@0 task uses cocoapods version 1.15.0, which has issues installing hermes-engine from react-native.

A fix for this issue is available in version 1.15.2, you can find more details of the issue on CocoaPods/CocoaPods#12226

Ideally this task would receive the cocoapods version as input, to empower users overcoming issues/blockers like this.

@djhr -- thank you for your feedback.

@steved0x -- I'm not sure whether this is a documentation issue or a task coding issue. The article is:

• CocoaPods@0 - CocoaPods v0 task

Hi there, same issue here. Getting error when going to install pods with Azure Pipelines.
Agreed with @djhr , would be nice if we can specify the cocoapods version.

Hi guys. Same issue, so I’m also joining the discussion - it would be cool to be able to choose cocoapods version.

Hello,
We are facing the same issue and would really appreciate a way to specify the cocoapods version.

Hi, we are also currently running into this same problem using React Native and cocoapods task.

Would appreciate a way to manually set version or if you could at least bump the version up to 1.15.2 to fix this.

Hi, we are facing the same issue.
Any update on this @WilliamAntonRohm @steved0x ?

As a temporary workaround, this script works for me to get the tooling updated to resolve the issue

brew update

brew uninstall cocoapods

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem uninstall -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

brew install cocoapods

Until friday, when I rerun the failed job the cocoapods version change and the build succeeded. But today the cocoapods version persists on 1.15.0...

[djhr]

@steved0x do you have an update on this issue?

As a temporary workaround, this script works for me to get the tooling updated to resolve the issue

brew update

brew uninstall cocoapods

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem uninstall -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

brew install cocoapods

This resolved the issue for now.

- script: |
          brew update
          brew uninstall cocoapods
          gem uninstall cocoapods --ignore-dependencies
          sudo gem uninstall -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
          gem install cocoapods -v 1.15.2

@WilliamAntonRohm any update on this? It's been a month since we've reported this blocking issue on Azure DevOps pipelines and still no foreseeable action on Microsoft side.

This is not a documentation issue, at the moment it's not possible to install pods from react-native on Azure DevOps pipelines, this affects every single Microsoft customer trying to install it.

Would it be possible to raise the priority of this issue, please?
