Why is it error when my framework contains .framework file

Question

My project uses cocoapods to manager frameworks. The podfile contains the command line

 use_frameworks!

One of my framework core depends on another framework UMCCommon. So core framework's podspec file has command line

 s.dependency 'UMCCommon'

But the UMCCommon have a UMCCommen.framework file. Then I get an error likes below:

If I add the line

s.static_framework = true

in core framework another error will appear:

If import the UMCCommon in podfile:

pod 'UMCCommon'

it will be successful. And the UMCCommon catalogue likes below:

But I need import UMCCommon in core rather than import it in project podfile. How can I solve this problem.

Answer 1

If you want to add UMCCommon.framework framework file you can go with s.vendored_frameworks = 'PATH_TO_FRAMEWORK'. Don't remove s.static_framework = true line when you do this. I'd recommend checking out cocoapods documentation for other available options.

Answer 2

I'm not sure, I completely understand your question. Do you get this error when you're trying to submit Core framework to Cocoapods? Do you get it during pod validation?

If yes, please, make sure that Core pod file contains this:

  use_frameworks!
  pod 'UMCCommon'

And Core podspec file should contain the next lines:

  s.static_framework = true
  s.dependency 'UMCCommon'
  s.vendored_frameworks = "UMCCommen.framework"
