Cocoapods ld: library not found for -lPods-Projectname

Question

I've installed cocoa pods library and some frameworks through it. Now when I compile project the build fails.

Error: ld: library not found for -lPods-Project clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Here part of text:

Ld /Users/polzovatel/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Project-bybevfqrgvqqldbzsgewqafpmylj/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Project app/Project normal i386
    cd /Users/polzovatel/Projects/iOS-master/Project_iPhone
    export IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=6.0
    export PATH="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

What I need to do to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Fixed it by deleting the -lPods-Projectname.a in Link Binary (for newer versions, delete the -lPods-Projectname.a under the Frameworks group).

Answer 2

Whenever I execute "pod install" it leads me to spend several hours fixing build errors. So, I deleted CocoaPods stuff and do not have problems any more! Now I am lucky and happy man.

Start using Swift Package Manager (SPM). If your 3rd party lib still do not support SPM I encourage you to take action on adding SPM support on your own. Here is instructions.

Or create an issue for the 3rd party lib about adding support for SPM.

Answer 3

The exact location that you should remove your libs is at:

• Remove -lyourlibname.a in "Link Binary With Libraries" on "Build Phases" of your target.

Answer 4

You can try "Build Active Architecture Only" = YES . it may be solving problem.
