Error when upgrading from CocoaPods 0.39 to 1.1.1

Question

I'm trying to upgrade to the latest version of CocoaPods, but I'm running into an error. My previous Podfile looked something like this:

target 'myapp-ios' do
  link_with *%w[myapp-dev myapp-qa myapp-prod]
  pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.6.3'
  # ...
end

Now it looks like this:

abstract_target 'myapp-ios' do
  pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.6.3'
  # ...

  target 'myapp-dev' do
  end

  target 'myapp-qa' do
  end

  target 'myapp-prod' do
  end
end

When I try and build my app, I get this error:

ld: framework not found Pods_myapp_ios

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

It seems like it gets through compiling all of the CocoaPods as well as my app code, then it fails near the end. I'm not sure if this is somehow a reference to the old Podfile or if this has something to do with the new abstract_target (or even something unreleated to both of those things).

I did notice that in the clang command output, it lists both -framework Pods_myapp_ios -framework Pods_myapp_ios_myapp_qa when I try to build my qa target.

What steps should I take to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

I think I found the problem. While inspecting the settings of one of my targets, I noticed in the "Linked Frameworks and Libraries" section that it listed Pods_myapp_ios.framework as a required framework. I'm guessing this is left over from the previous version.

I removed it and it seems like my app is now building as expected.
