Cordova + Xcode8 = Linker command failed with exit code 1

Question

Everything was working fine until I updated the iPad and now I can't build/install my app any more. I get the error message:

ld : framework not found Pods_myproject
clang: error: linker command failed with exist code 1

I tried to add/remove ios platform, clean ios both in cordova and xcode, remove pods folder and files, did a pod deintegrate, redid pod init and pod install, quit xcode, nothing works.

Check your Xcode project, you probably link to "Pods_myproject" somewhere.

1. Open Xcode
2. Click on your project
3. See the 'General' tab.
4. Remove Pods_myproject from Linked Frameworks and Libraries and Embedded Binaries
5. If still not resolved, search for Pods_myproject on the top right.
