Cocoapods repo is out of date

Is there a better way to get access to the latest cocoapods repos on a given image? Right now I have a before_install task pod repo update to ensure I get the latest, but it takes around 90 seconds to run on every build.

FWIW, I just tried the Xcode 10.2 beta image and had an issue getting access to a recently added pod, so I’m assuming it’s just a timing thing with when the image is updated.

In general, using more recent images will reduce the time it takes to update Homebrew. The older images usually do not get updates due to our limited resources.

We have same issues here on build 136961593. We execute pod install command, but it takes more than 10 minutes sometimes without any output to update the repository. Build naturally errors then. I tried using travis_wait as a workaround, but then the build will error randomly during output of the command. Just doesn’t seem to be able to get a stable building environment.
