ParseFacebookUtilsV4 with CocoaPods - "framework not found Parse for architecture x86_64"

Question

Until earlier today, I was using ParseFacebookUtilsV4 version 1.7.5.3 on my iOS 7+ project. Then I saw an update to Parse framework, to version 1.8.0. pod update runs smoothly, but when I try to build the application, it fails with:

Apple Match-O Linker Error
Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

My Podfile:

Anyway, if i force it to use the older version (pod 'ParseFacebookUtilsV4', '~> 1.7.5'), below, the apps build like a charm, no error whatsoever. Dependencies loaded with this podspec:

Is this an issue with the newest version of Parse Framework? Am I missing something?

EDIT 1: Currently using CocoaPods 0.38.2

EDIT 2: They have just released Parse 1.8.1, with this message on the Changelog: "Fixed: ParseFacebookUtilsV4 and ParseTwitterUtils when used as static libraries via Cocoapods." I'll test it soon.

EDIT 3: Parse 1.8.1 fixed the issue for me. That's it, everything up-to-date and working properly.

Answer 1

It seemed to be an issue with the Parse SDK 1.8.0, fixed on version 1.8.1.

Changelog (https://www.parse.com/docs/downloads):

V1.8.1 — AUGUST 19, 2015 New: ParseOSX.framework was renamed to Parse.framework. Feature: PFInstallation now automatically detects and stores current device locale. Improved: Original network errors (if any) are now stored under NSUnderlyingErrorKey in error.userInfo. Fixed: Potential crash in PFQueryCollectionViewController on returning nil supplementary view for footer in sections. Fixed: ParseFacebookUtilsV4 and ParseTwitterUtils when used as static libraries via Cocoapods. Fixed: Overwritten localizations when used via CocoaPods and integrating as static library. Fixed: Potential collision of PFObject subclasses instance variables with _state name. Fixed: BOOL properties on PFObject subclasses treated as numbers instead of booleans. Fixed: Potential threading problems when concurrently loading images in PFImageView. Fixed: Potential crash when receiving a push notification with sound set to null.

I updated my project, with pod update (pod 'ParseFacebookUtilsV4', '~> 1.8') and now everything is working properly.
