The 'Pods-App' target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries: Modification#
Background#
Recently, I encountered this problem twice in a Swift project where adding libraries to the Pod with use_frameworks! enabled resulted in errors when installing certain Objective-C libraries. It took me a long time to resolve it. Suddenly, I remembered that I had encountered the same problem when installing Swift libraries in an Objective-C project before, but I didn't document it at that time, so I didn't have any recollection when I encountered it this time. This time, I'm documenting it and sharing it with everyone:
Solution#
Previously, I encountered this issue when installing the Swift library of ZLPhotoBrowser in Objective-C code with use_frameworks! enabled. When installing it together with other third-party libraries, it can be understood that, except for ZLPhotoBrowser, which is a dynamic library, the other third-party libraries are by default using static_framework or static_library.
Add the following code to the end of the Podfile:
use_frameworks!
...
dynamic_frameworks = ['ZLPhotoBrowser']
pre_install do |installer|
installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
if !dynamic_frameworks.include?(pod.name)
def pod.static_framework?;
true
end
def pod.build_type;
Pod::BuildType.static_library
end
end
end
end
This time, it is installing Pod libraries in Swift code with use_frameworks! enabled. However, what is desired here is that, except for certain libraries, which should use static_framework or static_library, all other libraries should use use_frameworks! by default.
Therefore, add the following code to the end of the Podfile:
use_frameworks!
...
# Libraries to use Objective-C
static_frameworks = ['xxx', 'yyy']
pre_install do |installer|
installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
# Note the difference here compared to the previous code
if static_frameworks.include?(pod.name)
def pod.static_framework?;
true
end
def pod.build_type;
Pod::BuildType.static_library
end
end
end
end
