RN + Cocoapods = library not found for -lPods-XXX

Question

I feel this question have been asked again and again but I swear I tested every solution seen on the internet and it's still happening.

Basically I moved my React Native project to using cocoapods. See my Podfile below. When I pod install I get added "libPods-XXX.a" to my "Link Binary With Librairies" build phase. I guess that's how Cocoapods works?

But when libPods-XXX.a is there I can't build, always get the error "library not found for -lPods-XXX". If I remove it manually it works fine. But then next pod install will add it.

What I tried already :

• I am using worskspace file
• "Build Active Architecture Only" is set to Yes in Debug, no in my other Schemes, for the XXX project and for every pods installed.
• "Other linker flags" in my target is set to "$(inherited)"
• "Library search path" in my target is set to "$(inherited)"
• Already tried to deintegrate and resinstall multiple times, same goes for node modules

I am really running out of ideas here. Can anyone point me to something else I might be missing?

Thanks

Answer 1

Answering my own question :

In our case this error was due to us having multiple configurations (staging, production, development) in our Xcode project.

Adding $BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/../$CONFIGURATION-$PLATFORM_NAME to Library Search Path of our Target in Build Settings solved the issue!

Answer 2

Do you insert this line within that field?
