'The 'Pods' target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries' when installing GCM

Question

I'm trying to install Google Cloud Messaging for my iOS application (using swift). I've added it to my Podfile like so:

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '8.2'
use_frameworks!

target 'Project' do
    pod 'Alamofire', '~> 1.2'
    pod 'Google/CloudMessaging'
end

target 'ProjectTests' do

end

Now when I try to install the dependencies, I get an error (see below). It worked fine before I added GoogleCloudMessaging. I tried to make a new project and add it there instead to see if it worked, and I got the same error.

Any idea how I can fix this? Would it be possible to install GCM without Cocoapods?

Answer 1

Update

With Cocoapods V 0.38.2 it is now possible to use GMC, or any other Objective-C frameworks with Swift frameworks like Alamofire

Make sure that you use use_frameworks! in the podfile

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '8.2'
use_frameworks!

target 'Project' do
    pod 'Google'
    pod 'Google/CloudMessaging'
    pod 'Alamofire'
end

target 'ProjectTests' do

end

Old Answer

I'm using a Swift project too and i'm only using Objective-C frameworks, because Swift & Objective-C frameworks didn't work for me yet.

Try install GCM only without use_frameworks! and without the Alamofire framework (written in Swift)

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '8.2'

target 'Project' do
    pod 'Google'
    pod 'Google/CloudMessaging'
end

target 'ProjectTests' do

end

I ran into some problems when I'm importing GCM in the bridging header file. I'm curious if you encounter the same problems.

Solution for Google Cloud Messaging when the BridingHeader or GGLInstanceIDDelegate is not working, is to install 'Google' pod 'Google'

Answer 2

I met same problem with Google/Analytics pod.

This issue may be resolved in the latest version of CocoaPods.

See this: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/3194

Answer 3

There is problem with Google/CloudMessaging pod itself. This pod cannot be build as framework, because of some static dependencies. You can try Carthage to build you swift dependencies.

Answer 4

I had a similar problem. My pod was 0.37.2 . I updated to 0.38.2 as mentioned in https://github.com/googlesamples/google-services/issues/22 . got it solved .

Answer 5

I removed the use_frameworks! from PodFile and it's working as expected.

Answer 6

删除在警告中显示的 pod 并解决问题
