Cocoa Pods No header file found for local pod

Question

I was testing the use of a podfile i am working on by doing the following ...

In my application i added the pod

pod "SampleSDK" , :local=>pod "SampleSDK", :local=>"~/Documents/Dev/iOS/MobSample"

and my pod spec file is as follows

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
  s.name         = "SampleSDK"
  s.version      = "1.0.2"
  s.summary      = "This is an Objective-C SDK for Sample."
  s.homepage     = "https://github.com/Sample/SampleSDK.git"

  s.source          = { :git => "https://github.com/Sample/SampleSDK.git",:tag => "v1.0.2"}
  s.public_header_files = 'SampleSDK-iosuniversal/SampleSDK.framework/Headers/*.h'
  s.preserve_paths    = SamplekSDK-iosuniversal/SampleSDK.framework'
  s.frameworks =  'Foundation', 'QuartzCore' , 'SystemConfiguration'
  s.xcconfig = { 'LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS' => '"$(PODS_ROOT)/SampleSDK/Headers"', 'OTHER_LDFLAGS' => '$(inherited) -all_load -ObjC' }
end

pod spec validation is passed but when i do pod install no header files are present in LocalPods>>SampleSDK>>

Where am i going wrong? How should i proceed further?

Answer 1

The public_header_files is a positive filter of the source_files . In this case as all the headers are public you could replace the former with the later and the podspec should work as expected.

Answer 2

If that's actually what your Podfile looks like that is the issue. As shown in the documentation the purpose of the :local key is to allow you to point to the source of a library locally, while also using a podspec that's already part of the master repo . Update : Fabio pointed out to me that as it says in the docs the :local option does actually expect the the podspec in the folder as well.
