Same error

waiting for update

Please follow the below steps to fix this issue

Step 1: Right click project Folder in Xcode and convert to group

Step 2: right click projectname.xcodeproj file and select Show Package Contents
you can see the file project.pbxproj and open with texteditor

Remove the following lines in this file
minimizedProjectReferenceProxies = 1;
preferredProjectObjectVersion = 77;

Also update the below version
objectVersion = 77; to objectVersion = 56;

Now you can pod init and install with your project

我按照上面的方法解决了，你看看是不是步骤错了，或者也可以看看我的解决步骤：https://juejin.cn/post/7416270933789900815

same error

Same error here, did nothing but just pod init on a fresh xcode project, and I tried editing the lines / converting to groups.

Same error here, did nothing but just pod init on a fresh xcode project, and I tried editing the lines / converting to groups.

Same here, modifying the pbxproj file further by removing the mentioned ISA PBXFileSystemSynchronizedRootGroup block like others have suggested allows me to init Pods (with warnings), but generates further errors on build. Editing the pbxproj file is not a stable workaround, waiting for CocoaPods to address it further.

I am also getting the same error .

well, after I did this, it worked

+1 would love for this to be fixed

Any news about this issue?

我遇到了类似问题，执行本文的操作步骤后，又遇到如下问题。(本地CocoaPods版本号为：1.15.2)

RuntimeError - PBXGroup attempted to initialize an object with unknown ISA PBXFileSystemSynchronizedRootGroup from attributes: {"isa"=>"PBXFileSystemSynchronizedRootGroup", "path"=>"XXXTests", "sourceTree"=>"<group>"}

按https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78984326/cocoapods-pod-init-fails-with-unknown-isa-pbxfilesystemsynchronizedrootgroup-e 中的如下步骤解决了问题。

I am facing same issue in iOS 18.0 and XCode 16
Try this step by step it will be resolved.
Close Xcode
Go to your project folder remove Pods & Podfile.lock
Right Click on YOUR_PROJECT_NAME.xcodeproj Show Package Contents then open project.pbxproj
Replace every PBXFileSystemSynchronizedRootGroup with PBXGroup
Search for objectVersion should be like that objectVersion = 56; if not replace by 56
Pod install

You need to perform the "Convert to group" operation on all directories, including the Test directory.

I am also getting the same error .

delete Tests and UITests ，TestsTarget and UITestsTarget, pod init success

The method functions correctly, but issues arise when attempting to run or build the project, preventing it from executing or compiling successfully.

error: Sandbox: bash(84265) deny(1) file-write-create Pods/resources-Pods/resources-to-copy-app.txt: Operation not permitted

You need to perform the "Convert to group" operation on all directories, including the Test directory.

thank you so much!! This works ^

Please follow the below steps to fix this issue

Step 1: Right click project Folder in Xcode and convert to group

**Step 2**: right click **projectname.xcodeproj** file and select Show Package Contents you can see the file **project.pbxproj** and open with texteditor

Remove the following lines in this file minimizedProjectReferenceProxies = 1; preferredProjectObjectVersion = 77;

Also update the below version objectVersion = 77; to objectVersion = 56;

Now you can pod init and install with your project

This worked for me but with additional steps. Also by the picture wasn't exactly clear which to right click on as my runner had several folders. Right click on the "OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension and select "Convert to Group". The other folders may have "Convert to Folder" option and that was the confusing part.

Next go into your project.pbxproj file and replace the objectVersion = 77 to 54. I tried 63 at first but that didn't work. That value should be located at the top of the file.

@manikandanprabhur It works! But only for new native iOS apps. It’s not working for React Native Expo apps. I checked and I'm using the latest Expo version 51.0.37 and React Native 0.74.5, but I noticed the objectVersion in the .pbxproj file is 46, and the other two fields are missing. Also, I still can't get the pod libraries installed.

**Step 2**: right click **projectname.xcodeproj** file and select Show Package Contents you can see the file **project.pbxproj** and open with texteditor

Now you can pod init and install with your project

We also need to select convert to group option for [Project_Name]Tests and [Project_Name]UITests folders.

This approach worked for me:

step 1: changing the Testing system from default value to None like shown in the image when defining the project.

step 2: follow the procedure explained above:

#12583 (comment)

or

if you want to keep the default setting (Swift Testing with XCTest UI Tests) add the extra step: 'convert to group' for [Project_Name]Tests and [Project_Name]UITests folders.' as mentioned in

#12583 (comment)

Please follow the below steps to fix this issue

finally open build settings and search ENABLE_USER_SCRIPT_SANDBOXING set User Script Sandboxing to NO

It works again.

Nice... Ebanutsa kakoy fix blyad. Pryam vot zaebis.

Try this step by step it will be resolved.

- Close XCode
- Go to your project folder remove Pods & Podfile.lock
- Right Click on YOUR_PROJECT_NAME.xcodeproj Show Package Contents then open project.pbxproj
- Replace every PBXFileSystemSynchronizedRootGroup with PBXGroup
- Search for objectVersion should be like that objectVersion = 56; if not replace by 56
- Pod install

Update CocoaPods:

brew update
brew install cocoapods
pod repo update
pod --version
