The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock in ionic 3 ios build

Question

Run custom shell script cp check pods manifest.lock    
diff: /Podfile.lock: No such file or directory
diff: /Manifest.lock: No such file or directory
error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

I'm using ionic 3 and I want to build my application in ios but it creates an issue mentioned above.

I tried

pod install,
pod update,
reinstall of cocoapods,
pod cache clean**,**cocoapods deintergrate**,**restart of my project, 
clean and build of my project 

Nothing worked and I removed libpods.a files from build phase in every build of my project in Xcode, and also I tried many solutions from various sites but till now i didn't get the solution

Solution

Try the following:

• quit Xcode
• navigate to project folder
• delete Pods folder
• delete Podfile.lock
• call from command line pod install
• important: open the the project via .xcworkspace (and not via .xcodeproj)

If that doesn't work, make a build settings checks:

• in Navigator go to the root node
• in the editor on the right choose 'Build Settings'
• scroll down: there you should see the following entries: PODS_PODFILE_DIR_PATH should show your project directory (where PODFILE resides, here you can enter ${SRCROOT}/., and for PODS_ROOT you can enter ${SRCROOT}/Pods)

Correct the entries if necessary

Ok - I extended the answer a bit

I tried everything as you mentioned but finally, I solved this issue by without installing pod in my project directory now it's working like a charm!

you might have already installed pods right then how can you do without installing could you please elaborate what you did...Thank you

hi, I know it's late, but it will be a good help if you can tell how did you install pods into project directory?

@StephanSchlecht I'm having the same issue but it's not owrking for me. And I don't have the PODS_PODFILE_DIR_PATH in xCode. Any suggestions?
