CocoaPods with XCode 6.0.1 - How can I fix Pods Frameworks appearing in red?

Question

I have created a new project in Xcode 6.0.1 and created the following Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs' platform :ios, '8.0'  pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.0' 

I then ran pod install, and opened the xcworkspace in Xcode. When I build the project, all the frameworks appear in red. For example, under the Pods project, the Foundation.framework appears in red, and refers to a path on my computer that doesn't exist:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS7.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework 

My question is: How can I get the frameworks to appear in black in the navigator, and properly link my pods to my main project?

I have made a couple changes mentioned in the answers to this question:

1. Originally, the libpods.a Product appeared in red as well. I fixed that by changing the Per-configuration Build Products Path to $(BUILD_DIR)/$(CONFIGURATION) after reading that someone else fixed their problem that way.

2. I have made sure my Base SDK is iOS 8.0 on all the targets I can find.

3. I have verified that my Valid Architectures are set to "arm64 armv7 armv7.1" for all the targets I can find.

Answer 1

I had the same strange problem, where the libraries where correctly recognized on one machine, but not on another - there they were also in red.

The solution was to add the Pods target to the building scheme ("Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme..." then add with + the Pods main target and put it in front of your main target.) Then clean and build the project.
