I'm in the same boat and have been struggling with this!

I managed to get my build working by adding the following to the command line args:

-workspace [Name.xcworkspace] -Scheme [NameOfScheme]

I also had to edit the scheme and add the Pods target explicitly as it was failing the build with Library not found for -lPods.
