An error occurred while installing json (2.1.0), and Bundler cannot continue.

Any ideas? I'm not a Ruby person... :/

There seems to be a solution on this issue, does it fix your problem? :)

[odeann]

@ccorcos It happens when you installed fastlane to the ~/.fastlane directory (via homebrew or using the official installer). Try to uninstall fastlane first (or delete ~/.fastlane directory, but anyway, don't forget to remove export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH" line in ~/.bash_profile) and then install fastlane with gem:

sudo gem install fastlane -NV

It will help.

[Almouro]

Hi @ccorcos, did odeann's answer fix your problem?
I'm closing this issue since there was no activity for a while, but feel free to reopen if it didn't fix it :)

[ccorcos]

I never ended up using fastlane :(

[Almouro]

@ccorcos ah out of curiosity, what did you end up using for deployment? :)

[ccorcos]

I just archive and upload straight from Xcode.

[mdanics]

@ccorcos @Almouro have the same problem, the solutions didn't work

[odeann]

@mdanics @ccorcos Just out of curiosity: What does which fastlane says?

[wootwoot1234]

@Almouro I'm getting this error too. I don't think this is solved and this issue should be reopened.

[Almouro]

In this issue there is a suggestion by one of the Fastlane owners:

rm -rf ~/.Fastlane
gem update fastlane

Does it work for you? If it doesn't can you output which fastlane?

[wootwoot1234]

@Almouro, thanks for the help.

This is what I got:

MacBook-Pro:App Tom$ rm -rf ~/.Fastlane
MacBook-Pro:App Tom$ gem update fastlane
Updating installed gems
Nothing to update
MacBook-Pro:App Tom$ fastlane beta
-bash: /Users/Tom/.fastlane/bin/fastlane: No such file or directory

and which fastlane returns nothing...

I think I installed fastlane with the following command:

brew cask install fastlane

I wonder if it has to do with the install method?

[Almouro]

You're right, it could have to do with the install method.

What if you do:

gem install fastlane

And then try your lane?

[wootwoot1234]

Ok, this is what I did and where I'm at now:

I uninstalled fastlane using brew:

brew cask uninstall fastlane

removed this line from my '~/.bash_profile' per the instructions in terminal after the uninstall:

export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH"

I am using rbenv so I set my global ruby to system (otherwise you'll get errors when using fastlane):

rbenv global system

installed fastlane using the following command, as recommended on the fastlane site:

sudo gem install fastlane -NV

I closed and reopened terminal.

Then I navigated to my project directory.

I installed the plugin:

fastlane add_plugin cordova

It installed with no errors and so I ran deploy:

fastlane deploy

But I get the following error (seems like it's trying to install it again?):

MacBook-Pro:App Tom$ fastlane deploy
