hgc2002 opened a new issue #603: iOS pod update fails because repo url is not well defined
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-weex-cli/issues/603
 
 
   "npm run ios" fails when cloning the pod repo because the repo url is not well defined.
   this make it to download the repo every time, that takes much longer than npm command is stated to wait for.
   
   The reason why "pod update" fails is because it tries to clone the repo every time, but url is rejected by GitHub, so the repo is always missing.
   
   Pod repo is defined by default project template in Podfile as git:github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git
   but this fails because git does plain calls, not secured (SSL), and GitHub does not allow it.
   
   Solution is described barely in https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/2696
   when it mentions that url should be like "https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git" (without quotes)
   
   This way the repo is well cloned and it won't try to download it again every time (unless really required!), making the "npm run ios" to execute well.
   
   Additional things to keep in mind: pod update can be really slow if there are huge changes pending to download. It makes sense to run it periodically alone, out of "npm run ios" to minimize timeout issue possibilities.
   
   To reproduce it:
   .- install a weex environment from scratch (literally) in Mac
         npm install -g weex-toolkit
         Run the App Store and download Xcode
         Install Command Line Tools for Xcode too
         sudo gem install xcodeproj
         sudo gem install cocoapods
         pod setup
         sudo easy_install pip
         pip install six
         Install JDK 8
         (Android studio was also installed from scratch but it has nothing to do with this issue)
   
   .- make a new easy-simple project
         weex create my-app-name
         weex platform add ios
   
   .- execute "npm run ios"
   
   Environment:
   .- MacOS 10.15
   .- iPhone 8 Simulator
   .- npm 6.12.0
   .- node 12.13.0
   .- weex-toolkit@2.0.0-beta.31
