CocoaPods linking "clang: error: no such file or directory: 'dynamic_lookup' and 'suppress'"

Question

I'm getting a clang error when my project tries to link.

I can see the following flags in the Pods.debug.xcconfig and Pods.release.xcconfig

-undefined dynamic_lookup suppress

And then the error appears in issue navigator

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'dynamic_lookup'
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'suppress'

I've tried removing the following files incase it was some generated code that was causing the issues

Pods/
project.xcworkspace
pods.lockfile

and re-running pod install to re-generate the workspace and config files. The error is still appearing!

Answer 1

I ran into something similar today with a Cocoapod project after removing it from the podfile. for some reason my workspace still had reference to the framework (now removed) so i manually deleted the references from my Build Settings > Other Linker Flags.

I got this error afterwards and the issue was in the Other Linker Flags it had -framework and on the next line it had -framework again. When i manually deleted the framework i did not remove the corresponding -framework line above it so two -framework lines were in the adjacent rows and it couldn't find the next framework (imported from CocoaPods).

Hope this helps someone some day.

I fixed the issue. Go to Build Settings > Linking > Other Linker Flags > Debug and Release. Make sure all you have is $(inherited).
