Xcode 6 CocoaPods error : target overrides the `OTHER_LDFLAGS` build setting

Question

I just starting using CocoaPods and I am getting the following errors when I pod install from the terminal (My project is called babyMilestones and I'm trying to use CocoaPods for the ShipLib Framework). :

The babyMilestones [Release] target overrides the FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS build setting defined in Pods/Target Support Files/Pods/Pods.release.xcconfig. This can lead to problems with the CocoaPods installation.
- Use the $(inherited) flag, or,
- Remove the build settings from the target.

I'm getting this error for Header Search Paths and Framework Search Paths.

When I try to build my project I get an error on the #import<ShipLib/ShipLib.h> line saying the ShipLib/ShipLib.h file cannot be found. In my project navigator my Pods project is showing properly, and the ShipLib framework is visible.

I never set any of these search paths explicitly, I just let Xcode 6 do its thing. I found this answer.

I have tried the following:

1. Deleted all the Framework Search Paths in Build Settings. This did not fix the issue

2. I then added $(inherited) to the Framework Search Path. I did Clean then Build. This gave new errors of the following type:

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/billpaystation/Documents/iOS/babyMilestones/babyMilestones/Pods/build/Debug-iphoneos'.
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F<Multiple'
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-Fvalues>'
Undefined symbols for architecture i386: "OBJC_CLASS$_ActionSheetDatePicker", referenced from: objc-class-ref in EditItemViewController.o "OBJC_CLASS$_SYSincerelyController", referenced from: objc-class-ref in EditItemViewController.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Action Sheet Picker and Sincerely Controller are the libraries I'm trying to add with Pods.

3. I noticed that libPods.a is red under Frameworks in my file inspector. So I went to Scheme ->Edit Scheme-> and added Pods to the Build.

I don't really understand the whole target/build settings and I may have made it worse trying so many different things. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

In my case it was not an Xcode issue, plus I think that fixing it by hand is a bad idea. I tried to use a different (earlier version) of Cocoapods and it worked fine!

gem install cocoapods -v 0.33.1

Here's my problem and solution from yesterday.

target overrides the FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS build settings

Hope this helps.

You should add $(inherited) to the Framework Search Path. For the new errors you should go:

TargetSettings->Build Phases->Compile Sources->(+) ActionSheetDatePicker.m, and SYSincerelyController.m classes and then Build and Run.
