Xcode /Podfile.lock: No such file

Question

I am trying to run an ionic app on xcode. But xcode throws an apple match-o linker error. I get this error, when I get this after I have runned the following command:

cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push --variable SENDER_ID=5****** --save

I need this plugin, for push notifications. After a research on google, I founded that I need to have Cocoapods installed in the projects. But after installing Cocoapods & pod install. I get the following error, when I start the "project.xcworkspace".

diff: /Podfile.lock: No such file or directory
diff: /Manifest.lock: No such file or directory
error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

I tried to rebuild/clean project or install pod again. But it did not fixed for me.

Can someone help me?

EDIT -> new Error

Apple Mach-O Linker (ld) Error Group

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I am getting this error, when i have fixed the error with pods.

Answer 1

If you are setting up environment setup in your project, you have to choose corresponding pods target in configuration.

Answer 2

Update your CocoaPods installation first ("sudo gem install cocoapods") then remove everything related to POD from project directory except .podfile. Run "pod install" on terminal and open your project using workspace file.
