pod trunk register: verification email not received after token expired

Author: iOSPrincekinCreated Sep 16, 2026Updated Sep 16, 2026

Summary

[!] Authentication token is invalid or unverified. Either verify it with the email that was sent or register a new session.

When I try to re-register the same email address, use

pod trunk register '[email protected]' 'princekin' --verbose

I do not receive the verification email, so I cannot generate a new valid token.

What I’m trying to do

I am trying to re-authenticate an existing Trunk account so I can continue pushing pod updates.

Steps I have taken

My original Trunk token expired I logged out using: I removed local credentials: Deleted ~/.netrc Cleared ~/.cocoapods/ check the spam folder in [email protected]:

Given that the email was blocked as spam by [email protected], I checked the spam folder but found no emails from CocoaPods; I also consulted my IT colleague, who confirmed that no CocoaPods emails appeared in the backend logs either.

Need help

I suspect CocoaPods has blocked [email protected], which is why I didn't receive the verification email. I need some help troubleshooting a CocoaPods issue; we are in a rush to release. Thanks!

Environment

macOS CocoaPods version: 1.17.0
