POConfiguring Cocoapods with an existing static library and iOS application
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm having trouble getting my workspace to compile correctly with Cocoapods. There are 3 projects in the workspace, each with their own target:</p> <ol> <li>libPods - Cocoapods static library with all the external dependencies</li> <li>libCommon - My static library where I keep all my shared code (base controllers, networking code, common UI, etc)</li> <li>myApp - My iOS application</li> </ol> <p>Both libCommon and myApp require the external dependencies from the libPods. Originally I thought it would work like this:</p> <ol> <li>libPods builds</li> <li>libCommon links against libPods and builds</li> <li>myApp links with libCommon and builds</li> </ol> <p>In this scenario libCommon "owns" the pods, and then then myApp just links against libCommon like I've always done pre-Cocoapods... but apparently static libraries don't like to be linked with static libraries (I got a bunch of dynamic library errors). I read on a github issue somewhere that instead I should build libPods and libCommon and then myApp should link against both libraries. Right now my podfile looks something like this:</p> <pre><code>workspace 'MyApp.xcworkspace' platform :ios, '5.0' link_with ['Common', 'MyApp'] target 'MyApp' do xcodeproj 'MyApp.xcodeproj' pod 'AFNetworking', '1.1.0' pod 'TTTAttributedLabel', '1.6.0' pod 'JSONKit', '1.5pre' pod 'Reachability', '3.1.0' end </code></pre> <p>With this setup, myApp owns all the pods, and then in the libCommon build settings I specify the path to the pod headers. This builds OK until I attempt to use one of the classes in libCommon. Once I do that, I get one of those <code>_OBJC_CLASS_$_Blah</code> errors (which tells me that although the headers are available, it's still not linked properly). When I try to manually link libCommon in "Build Phases" I get a bunch of duplicate symbol errors (which leaves me to believe it's already linked?). What the heck?</p> <p>What's the way to do this properly and what should my podfile look like?</p>

Querying!
