The Podfile contains framework or static library targets, for which the Podfile does not contain host targets

Question

I inherited an iOS project recently which has frameworks and uses CocoaPods. I'm trying to replicate this setup so I have a better understanding.

It has two frameworks (as Xcode projects) named RaterCommon and RaterAPIKit.

Here's the minimized version of its Podfile (I removed unnecessary parts).

platform :ios, '10.0'

inhibit_all_warnings!
use_frameworks!

workspace 'Rater'

target :Rater do
    # various pods
end

target :RaterCommon do
    project 'Libraries/RaterCommon/RaterCommon.xcodeproj'
end

target :RaterAPIKit do
    project 'Libraries/RaterAPIKit/RaterAPIKit.xcodeproj'
end

Upon running pod install, I get this warning.

The Podfile contains framework or static library targets (RaterCommon, RaterAPIKit), for which the Podfile does not contain host targets (targets which embed the framework).

And I can't import these frameworks inside my main project's source either. Even after adding them in Linked Frameworks and Libraries and Embedded Binaries in Xcode. It says No Such Module.

Answer 1

Check that targets are really on that path

'Libraries/RaterCommon/RaterCommon.xcodeproj'
'Libraries/RaterAPIKit/RaterAPIKit.xcodeproj'

And afterwards do :

pod deintegrate && pod install
