Why do I get "library not found for -lPods" in XCode

Question

after a few weeks of developing an iOS app I wanted to deploy the App on my test device (used the simulator before). Since that I always get this error:

    ld: library not found for -lPods
    clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Now it doesn't even works in the simulator. I already tried to reinstall all pods and searched the billions of threads. But I don't get it to work. This is my Podfile:

    source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
    platform :ios, '9.1'
    target 'be2gether'
    pod 'GoogleMaps'
    use_frameworks!
    pod 'Alamofire', '~>3.0'
    pod 'SwiftyJSON', '~> 2.3'
    pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift'
    project '../be2gether.xcodeproj'

I open the project by using the .xcworkspace file. Already tried to clean the project or alt + clean the project and deleted the derived data in Xcode. I would post the build options but I don't know which are important for the problem. How can i get the project back working? Thank you for your help :)

Answer 1

I had the same issue. It turned out that inside of "Linked Frameworks and Libraries" libPods -XXX.a was many times. I deleted the ones that didn't belong to my target and it worked. Below an image that my help you to understand how I solve it. BTW I have cocoaPod 1.0.1 and xCode 8 beta 5.

Hey I had the same problem. Try to create a blank project and see if it compiles. In my case the workspace was broken. This fixed it. Hope it helps!
