Cocoapods installation not working

From the following link you'll be able to download an empty Xcode project that shows this problem:

There is something wrong with your Podfile. I am attaching the Podfile that worked for me in the next comment below. Please also remember to clean everything.

rm -rf Pods
rm -rf Pods.lock
rm -rf IterableTest.xcworkspace/
pod update
pod install

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project

platform :ios, '9.0'

use_frameworks!

target 'IterableTest' do
  # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks

  # Pods for IterableTest
  pod 'Iterable-iOS-SDK'

  target 'IterableTestTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

  target 'IterableTestUITests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

Sorry in the attached project I had forgotten to add use_frameworks! to the pod file. After adding that the project compiles.

Though I still have the problem in my main project which is Obj-C. In that case how should the pod file look? use_frameworks! must be added to the pod file in that case too? If I add it I start getting compilation errors in pods from other libraries.

Looks like there's no way to specify use_frameworks! only for certain pods so we can't add that to our pod file. Our only option then is to do the manual installation?

[tapash-majumder]

Are you sure about that? I have noticed that in the original Profile user_frameworks! was commented out. Maybe that was the problem. I changed the Podfile as below and it is still working.

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project

platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'IterableTest' do
  # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks

  # Pods for IterableTest
  pod 'Iterable-iOS-SDK'
  
  use_frameworks!


  target 'IterableTestTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

  target 'IterableTestUITests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

Yes it was commented that was my mistake. I created that empty project for illustrative purposes only. After uncommented that line the sample project I created compiles.

What I'm saying is that in our real project we can't use use_frameworks!. Looks like your pod requires that for the SDK to compile? Can you confirm that?

Is there a way to make it compile via pods without using use_frameworks!? Our real project is entirely Objective-C.

[PSBT]

I'm confused by the fact that your sample Podfile (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Iterable/swift-sdk/master/sample-apps/swift-sample-app/Podfile) says this:

# Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
use_frameworks!

We are not using Swift in our project so that must remain commented, right? If we leave it commented then the project doesn't compile (error shown in my first message). If I uncomment it the code that uses other pods from other libraries start giving compilation errors…

[tapashmajumder]

Yes, you do need use_frameworks! I am not sure about other pods in other libraries. But I believe there should be a way to include use_frameworks! per target.

Can you create a sample project that reproduces this problem?

If enabling use_frameworks! per target does not work then maybe the best option is to do manual installation of IterableSDK.framework.

[PSBT]

Got it!

It's possible to use use_frameworks! per target but apparently not per pod (CocoaPods/CocoaPods#3839).

Yeah so looks our only option is the manual installation.

Thanks!

Thanks @PSBT. Let us know if you have any issues with manual installation.
