Objective Sharpie Error: Failed to run pod list - xamarin

Question

I'm using Cocoapods 1.4.0, Visual Studio Community for Mac 7.3.3 (build 12), Objective Sharpie 3.4.0-c0f0e73, Mac OS 10.12.6 (Sierra)
whenever I try to add the example Cocoapod on https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/macios/binding/objective-sharpie/examples/cocoapod/
I get the following error:
mbp:iOS user$ sharpie pod init ios AFNetworking

error: Failed to run pod list
Does anyone know why, and who to work this around?
I'm just trying to add a Pod.
Note: I have no issues when trying to use CocoaPods on an Native iOS Project

Answer 1

This works fine for me using a fresh install of CocoaPods and Objective Sharpie.
Install CocoaPods from Homebrew:
brew install cocoapods
Find latest Objective Sharpie release on the Xamarin Forums and install it by double clicking the pkg file.
Now just run the same command you already tried:
sharpie pod init ios AFNetworking
--- ~/derp » sharpie pod init ios AFNetworking

To update use: `gem install cocoapods --pre`
[!] This is a test version we'd love you to try.

** 🍻 Success! You can now use other `sharpie pod` commands.
The only thing that might be different here is that I have ssh config set up for GitHub.
