Pods was rejected as an implicit dependency for 'libPods.a' because its architectures 'XXX' didn't contain all required architectures

Question

A friend updated Cocoapods in our project. When I pulled the latest stuff from git I got the following error:

Pods was rejected as an implicit dependency for 'libPods.a' because its architectures 'x86_64' didn't contain all required architectures 'i386' 

This results in

ld: library not found for -lPods-___PODLIBRARY____ clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) 

I have searched around for hours now trying to find it. The most common fixes I've tried are..

• Deleted derived data
• Delete build data
• Delete pods, and reinstalled with 'pod install'
• Clean project
• All of the above at the same time
• Experimented with 'Build Active Architecture Only', both in our project and in Pod Project. Inserted armv7 and armv7s as hard code instead of $ variable
• Experimented with 'Architectures', both in our project and in Pod Project. Inserted armv7 and armv7s as hard code instead of $ variable

We are aiming for iOS 8, iPhones.

My friend got it to work by combining the first 4 options, but I cannot.

Does anyone have any suggestions? We're supposed to release before christmas so production time is precious :D

Answer 1

Try to set Build Active Architecture Only to NO for 'Pods' project and your app's target
