Having trouble installing OpenSSL Cocoapod - xcode

Question

I'm trying to install the OpenSSL Cocoapod in Xcode 9.4 and I get the following:
[!] /bin/bash -c set -e VERSION="1.0.2h" SDKVERSION=xcrun --sdk
iphoneos --show-sdk-version 2> /dev/null
MIN_SDK_VERSION_FLAG="-miphoneos-version-min=7.0"
BASEPATH="${PWD}" CURRENTPATH="/tmp/openssl" ARCHS="i386 x86_64 armv7
armv7s arm64" DEVELOPER=xcode-select -print-path
mkdir -p "${CURRENTPATH}" mkdir -p "${CURRENTPATH}/bin"
cp "file.tgz" "${CURRENTPATH}/file.tgz" cd "${CURRENTPATH}" tar -xzf
file.tgz cd "openssl-${VERSION}"
for ARCH in ${ARCHS} do CONFIGURE_FOR="iphoneos-cross"
if [ "${ARCH}" == "i386" ] || [ "${ARCH}" == "x86_64" ] ; then
PLATFORM="iPhoneSimulator"
if [ "${ARCH}" == "x86_64" ] ;
then
CONFIGURE_FOR="darwin64-x86_64-cc"
fi else
sed -ie "s!static volatile sig_atomic_t intr_signal;!static volatile intr_signal;!" "crypto/ui/ui_openssl.c"
PLATFORM="iPhoneOS" fi
export
CROSS_TOP="${DEVELOPER}/Platforms/${PLATFORM}.platform/Developer"
export CROSS_SDK="${PLATFORM}${SDKVERSION}.sdk"
echo "Building openssl-${VERSION} for ${PLATFORM} ${SDKVERSION}
${ARCH}" echo "Please stand by..."
export CC="${DEVELOPER}/usr/bin/gcc -arch ${ARCH}
${MIN_SDK_VERSION_FLAG}" mkdir -p
"${CURRENTPATH}/bin/${PLATFORM}${SDKVERSION}-${ARCH}.sdk"

LIPO_LIBCRYPTO="${LIPO_LIBCRYPTO}
${CURRENTPATH}/bin/${PLATFORM}${SDKVERSION}-${ARCH}.sdk/lib/libcrypto.a"
./Configure ${CONFIGURE_FOR}
--openssldir="${CURRENTPATH}/bin/${PLATFORM}${SDKVERSION}-${ARCH}.sdk" > "${LOG}" 2>&1 sed -ie "s!^CFLAG=!CFLAG=-isysroot ${CROSS_TOP}/SDKs/${CROSS_SDK} !" "Makefile"
make >> "${LOG}" 2>&1 make all install_sw >> "${LOG}" 2>&1 make
clean >> "${LOG}" 2>&1 done
echo "Build library..." rm -rf "${BASEPATH}/lib/" mkdir -p
"${BASEPATH}/lib/" lipo -create ${LIPO_LIBSSL} -output
"${BASEPATH}/lib/libssl.a" lipo -create ${LIPO_LIBCRYPTO} -output
"${BASEPATH}/lib/libcrypto.a"
echo "Copying headers..." rm -rf "${BASEPATH}/opensslIncludes/" mkdir
-p "${BASEPATH}/opensslIncludes/" cp -RL "${CURRENTPATH}/openssl-${VERSION}/include/openssl"
"${BASEPATH}/opensslIncludes/"
cd "${BASEPATH}" echo "Building done."
echo "Cleaning up..." rm -rf "${CURRENTPATH}" echo "Done."
cp: file.tgz: No such file or directory
This is the command I'm using in the podfile:
pod 'OpenSSL', '~> 1.0'
I've tried installing the Xcode Command Line Tools but this did not fix the problem.
Anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Answer 1

First things first: If you can, try to switch to a different POD. That one is no longer maintained.
Workaround if you cannot switch:
curl https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-<your-version>.tar.gz > file.tgz
cp file.tgz /tmp/openssl #create directory if needed
sed 's/cp \\"file.tgz\\" \\"${CURRENTPATH}\/file.tgz\\"//' `find ~/.cocoapods|grep "OpenSSL/<your-version>/OpenSSL.podspec.json"`
pod install
"< your version >" would be e.g. "1.0.2j" for the URL and "1.0.210" for the grep

I am seeing this issue also. Have not been able to resolve. Frustratingly this is happening on a Jenkins slave machine - whereas my own Mac has no issue with 'pod update' and seems to get OpenSSL without problem...
I since found out that the cocoapod-downloader had to be downgraded...for this to install...

Answer 3

I went around with several of the possible solutions, the one that worked for me was to downgrade cocoapods and the downloader. After OpenSSL is installed the pod install is done its fine to go back to the current ones. Exact steps:
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods-downloader
sudo gem install cocoapods-downloader -v 1.2.0
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.5.3
pod deintegrate
rm -rf /tmp/openssl
pod install

Answer 4

While I was trying to install a different cococapod, I got the same error. For me the solution was to downgrade cococapods downloader. This is the commands I used:
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods-downloader
sudo gem install cocoapods-downloader -v 1.2.0
Thnx

Patric's answer works for me. But to make the answer a little bit more clear here:
rm -rf /tmp/openssl; mkdir /tmp/openssl && cd /tmp/openssl;
curl https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2j.tar.gz > file.tgz
cd -;
sed -i 's/cp \\"file.tgz\\" \\"${CURRENTPATH}\/file.tgz\\"//' `find ~/.cocoapods|grep "OpenSSL/1.0.210/OpenSSL.podspec.json"`
pod install
Note:
The pod install spent about 10 minutes on my mac air.
Replace 1.0.2j and 1.0.210 with your proper version if needed.
If you want to try, downgrade the cocoapods and cocoapods-downloader is another solution, please refer here.

Answer 6

update:
just use
pod 'OpenSSL', :git => 'https://github.com/isee15/OpenSSL.git'
replace pod OpenSSL with OpenSSL-XM
or
replace "prepare_command" in find ~/.cocoapods|grep "OpenSSL/1.0.2j/OpenSSL.podspec.json"
with https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs/blob/3b17051d7e0bbb5c97420a7a6d3aa9b1f6b601db/Specs/3/2/e/OpenSSL-XM/1.0.210.1/OpenSSL-XM.podspec.json
