Space character in project path is not supported (was: lipo failure with Xcode 9)

[QuentinArnault]

Hi,

Since I installed Xcode 9, I have a problème when running pod install. With Xcode 8 it worked (but I have not had to add the post_install hook). Here is the output:

Downloading dependencies
Installing Alamofire (4.5.1)
Generating Pods project
Skipping User Project Integration
Building frameworks
fatal error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/lipo: unknown flag: -

System:
XCode 9 Version 9.0.1 (9A1004)
Cocoapod 1.4.0.beta.2
Plugin Rome 0.8.0
And my Podfile:

plugin 'cocoapods-rome'

target 'Rementis' do
   pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.5.1'
end

post_install do |installer|
	installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    	target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '3.2'
        end
    end
end

Regards,
Quentin

Hi Quentin,

I did try to reproduce your problem with Cocoapods 1.3.1 and Cocoapods 1.4.0.beta.2. But in both cases, Alamofire.framework was successfully built and placed in the Rome folder. I simply created a new project and added Podfile to the project folder. The only difference is that I had to specify platform because of this error:
[!] It is necessary to specify the platform in the Podfile if not integrating.

I don't know why you don't receive such error. I think that output of pod env from the project root folder can help us to solve your issue.

Here is my pod env output:

Also here is my pod install output:

Thanks for your return.

I tried after an Xcode update to 9.1 and same result.

I attached output of pod install --verbose if it can help.

If you have any idea of what I can check, please let me know.

I think that renaming rementis - delivery folder to something like rementis_delivery will fix your issue. It looks like spaces in the project path cause this error.

Good old "space in path"...

Thanks for the tip.
