Multiple platform support for Single Target in podfile

Question

Is there any way to add multiple platform support for a single target through podfile?

For example my project is common for both iOS and Mac. They consume the same code base. So instead of creating multiple target for the same code, I added support for both iOS and MacOSX in the same target. It builds fine.

Now I want to add a dependency through Cocoapods. I create a podfile and specify my target's dependency on the pod. The pod in question here supports multiple platform in a similar way i.e. single target.

But now while building my project it fails for iOS.

Specifying multiple platforms in Podfile for single target produces an error.

And if I just specify platform as only iOS or Mac then the project in question fails to build on other platform.

Has anyone experienced this before? How can I add multiple platform for a single target through podfile?

P.S. - I know I can achieve it by creating multiple targets in my project. But I want to keep that as my last option.

def import_pods

pod 'CorePlot'

end

target 'FirstAppWithMacOS' do
    # define your platform here.
    platform :ios, '9.0'
    import_pods
end

target 'FirstMacOSApp' do
    # define your platform here.
    platform :osx, '10.10'
    import_pods
end
