can't get AnyCodable to work

[johndpope]

I try this
https://github.com/wweevv-johndpope/MinimalBazelFrameworkDemo

Podfile

pod install

project 'MinimalBazelFrameworkDemo.xcodeproj'
target 'MinimalBazelFrameworkDemo' do
pod "AnyCodable"
end

Pods.WORKSPACE

new_pod_repository(
  name = "AnyCodable",
  podspec_url = "https://github.com/Flight-School/AnyCodable/blob/master/AnyCodable-FlightSchool.podspec",
  url = "https://github.com/Flight-School/AnyCodable/archive/refs/tags/0.6.5.zip",
  is_dynamic_framework = True,  # AmazonIVSPlayer is dynamic XCFramework
  is_xcframework = True
)

fails

this isn't json extension - how do I get it to transform?

new_pod_repository(
  name = "AnyCodable",
  podspec_url = "Vendor/AnyCodable/AnyCodable-0.6.5/AnyCodable-FlightSchool.podspec",
  url = "https://github.com/Flight-School/AnyCodable/archive/refs/tags/0.6.5.zip",
  is_dynamic_framework = True,  # AmazonIVSPlayer is dynamic XCFramework
  is_xcframework = True
)

I attempt to extract podspec to json and feed it in
shell pod ipc spec /Users/johndpope/Documents/gitWorkspace/MinimalBazelFrameworkDemo/Vendor/AnyCodable/AnyCodable-0.6.5/AnyCodable-FlightSchool.podspec > test.json

no joy

test.json

  is_dynamic_framework = True,  
  is_xcframework = True
)

I fork repo - rename the podspec file
create a release
-publish
then specify this repo

new_pod_repository(
  name = "AnyCodable",
  url = "https://github.com/johndpope/AnyCodable/archive/refs/tags/1.0.1.zip",
  is_dynamic_framework = True,  # AmazonIVSPlayer is dynamic XCFramework
  is_xcframework = True
)

I can see the files correctly checkout

why????

I put the podspec in the root of repo - doesn't help - same error.

I also altered the podspec contents to make sure the source is pointing to new repo - still not working...
https://github.com/johndpope/AnyCodable/blob/master/AnyCodable.podspec#L26

fyi
