pod search 全部失败:Algolia 返回 403

Report

What did you do?

Run full-text searches such as:

bash
pod search afnetworking
pod search mj

The same failure occurs regardless of the search query, so CocoaPods full-text search appears to be unavailable globally.

What did you expect to happen?

CocoaPods should return pods matching the supplied query.

What happened instead?

Every search fails because the CocoaPods trunk search request reaches Algolia and receives HTTP 403. Algolia reports that the CocoaPods search application is blocked:

[!] CDN: trunk - Cannot perform full-text search because Algolia returned an error: 403: Cannot POST to https://WBHHAMHYNM-dsn.algolia.net/1/indexes/cocoapods/query: {"message":"This operation cannot be processed, the application is blocked. Contact us to unblock it.","status":403} (403)

Because the response explicitly comes from the remote Algolia service and is independent of the query, this appears to be a server-side search service failure.

CocoaPods Environment

CocoaPods          : 1.16.2
cocoapods-search   : 1.0.1
Specs source       : https://cdn.cocoapods.org/

Impact and additional context

  • All tested pod search queries fail with the same response.
  • The official CocoaPods status page currently reports Search as operational and shows no incident: https://status.cocoapods.org/
  • #11732 is related to the same pod search subsystem, but the current production failure is an explicit remote Algolia 403 response.
  • No sample project is required because the failure occurs in the CocoaPods command-line search service.
