Problem after first cocoapod installation - ios

So this is the problem I'm having. Initially after the first one or two cocoapods install/updates everything was working fine. Then on subsequent updates I started getting duplicate dependency files which makes the build fail and screws with live preview in swiftui. There may be other issues but this seems to be the main one from my point of view(though let me know if you think there are other issues). I have included a screenshot of the pertinent errors
These are the pods I'm currently using:
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
This is very frustrating as I cannot continue to work on the project until this is resolves and it continues to happen. I tried doing pod deintegrate, deleting podfiles, podfile.lock and the xcworkspace and then re-installing with pod init and pod install but that didn't fix anything.

Would try these steps first.
clean the project
delete derived data
pod deintegrate
pod install
"Then on subsequent updates I started getting duplicate dependency files which makes the build fail"
If you're seeing issues when updating a pod, then you may want to set the pod to a specified version in your Podfile.

Swift app downloaded from source control doesn't run on my machine, runs on coworkers

The bounty expires in 3 days. Answers to this question are eligible for a +50 reputation bounty.
Oscar A Garcia wants to draw more attention to this question.
A coworker and I are taking over an iOS app hosted on GitLab. This app utilizes cocoapods, and the Pods directory is included in the repo. My understanding is we should be able to pull the repo and run it on Xcode without issues.
My coworker is able to download the app from source control and run it on his machine. Mine is getting errors such as "Cannot find type 'AnimationView' in scope". He is running an M1 MacBook, I'm running an intel-based MacBook air. I'm opening the workspace file that was generated by CocoaPods, not xcodepro.
Here's a list of things I've tried:
Regenerating the pods via the command line by running pod reintegrate, then pod update, opening Xcode and cleaning the build folder, and then running again.
Changing the minimum iOS deployment target on Xcode to the highest deployment target of the pods in my podfile.
Changing the architectures on the app build settings to i386 and x86_64 rather than the default.
Clicking "Update to recommended settings" when Pods throws a warning.
None of these seem to work, I'm at a loss at this point. Since it runs on my coworker's machine I'm assuming there must be something wrong with how my app is detecting the libraries or how it's compiling.
Here's my podfile:
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '13.0'
target 'projectname' do
# Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
use_frameworks!
# Pods for projectname
pod 'Purchases'
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase/Storage'
pod 'Firebase/Database'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'SwiftyJSON'
pod 'CleanyModal'
pod 'MagicTimer'
pod 'lottie-ios'
pod 'FBSDKCoreKit'
end
I suspect the problem is not related to pods.
The reason for this is if you start a fresh iOS Xcode project, called emptyproj, and then close the iOS project in Xcode, you can then go to that project directory and place in a Podfile into that directory with your above contents but with the name projectname replaced with emptyproj, you can then do
pod install
and then once it has created emptyproj.xcworksapce open it in Xcode.
You will notice that there is no symbol called AnimationView. There is only LottieAnimationView.
So the missing symbol must be in the actual app on GitLab, not the pod dependencies.
What I suggest is to look at any build phases in the build of the project to see if any scripts that are architecture-specific get run.
Another debugging strategy is to get your co-worker onto your machine and do the setup herself on your machine, which might succeed (an unmentioned step) or fail (stronger evidence that it is a machine or architecture related matter).
This looks like you have different version of lootie , ask your coworker to check version he is currently using
for this you can use command:
pod outdated
When you run pod outdated, CocoaPods will list all pods that have newer versions that the ones listed in the Podfile.lock
then
use pod with specyfic version like this:
pod 'lottie-ios', '3.5.0'
instead of:
pod 'lottie-ios'
If you didn't add version when you run 'pod install' you will get newest available version.
and AnimationView is part of lottie liblary.
After adding version number run 'pod install'.
In such a case you can ask for the Podfile.lock of your co-worker and can check for the already installed specific version of the relevant pod, and if there any mismatch with there installed version with yours, update your pod file by adding that version and then pod install. and also if you guys don't need to work with latest version of the pods it is always better to use pod with versions.

I have deleted a Pod from Pods Library but still it's showing this error and not running

I have deleted RoundCornerProgress Pods from Pods library in Xcode but after that when I run the project it shows this error. How can I resolve this problem?
Try using pod install --no-repo-update command.
Remove the pod that you don't need from your pod file and then run this command.
This command will essentially remove the unwanted libraries without affecting other dependencies. Clean and build your project after doing this and it should work fine.
Use pod deintegrate to remove all traces of CocoaPods from the Xcode project.

'Parse/PFFile.h' file not found after Pod update

I have big issues, today i want to update POD's in my project, after update i immediately get lot of error but i fix it except one.
I use ParseUI pod at my project, after pod update i got such error:
'Parse/PFFile.h' file not found
My podFile:
pod 'Parse'
pod 'ParseUI'
After searching at network, i found nothing, how i can fix this error?
I work with Swift 4.2
Error image :
Hello fellow Parse user!
pod 'ParseUI' is deprecated and you should use pod 'Parse/UI' instead.
Change that, delete your pods folder and podfile.lock. Run pod install --repo-update from your app directory and hopefully you will have resolved the issue.
You do not need to import ParseUI within your app any longer. Importing "Parse" now imports all things related to Parse, such as ParseUI, Parse/TwitterUtils and Parse/FacebookUtils. Only import "Parse" and you have access to everything.

Swift: Can't import Frameworks in Xcode, running into error: 'no such a moudle' (installed using cocoapods)

Its frustrating seeing this error every time i use cocoa-pods. The only thing that works with cocoa-pods is 'Firebase SDK' but when i install any other framework such as JSQMessages or Eureka forms or any other framework i got an error 'No such a module" ... Its not the first time I work with these frameworks I did before and it was working correctly in fact I still got my previous projects installed with JSQMesgs, eurka..etc and its working fine till now. For the new projects it doesn't work/import in xcode anymore it is frustrating that I can't run it with this error ... not sure if its xcode or the cocopods .. I have tried instaling using terminal then uninstall and reinstall again with cocoapods application. I cleaned my build, change deployment target several times, and nothing worked so please if any one could share the same problems faced or advice me on how to avoid them or any alternatives to cocoapods.
deployment target 10.3 my xcode version 8.3.3 swift 3 macOS Sierra 10.12.5
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'
target 'FinalProject' do
# Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks

# Pods for FinalProject
pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase'
pod 'FirebaseAuth'
pod 'FirebaseDatabase'
pod 'FirebaseStorage'
pod 'ProgressHUD'
pod 'JSQMessagesViewController'
pod 'Eureka'
pod 'Former'
pod 'SwiftForms'
end
Please help.
Build the project.
The Xcode editor doesn't recognize modules coming from the Pods until after they've been built for the first time.
If that doesn't work for you, please share a screen shot of the issue, or even better, a reproducible example.
I had the same problem trying to work with SwiftyStoreKit.
I finally manage to solve my problem and hope that sharing the solution will help someone.
I tried everything was suggested until I realised that I was loading the pod in the wrong target, (in the pod file itself.)
After I repaired the pod file, run again pod install, and, voila, the xcode recognised the pod.

Pod update has fatally altered app

My perfectly working app used to have an Xcode Project Navigator as shown below.
iOS 10 requirements meant I had to upgrade Xcode to 8.1, which meant upgrading the entire Mac OS to Sierra and also translating the whole app to Swift 2.3.
Needless to say, this caused errors, one of which was an issue with PubNub. However, apart from this new build error the app structure was the same and everything seemed ok after dealing with all the layout issues.
I was requested to run the following steps to try to solve the PubNub pod error despite me warning that previous attempts to deal with the pod file caused fatal errors that were ultimately unrecoverable.
Install all iOS simulators after Xcode update
Open Xcode preferences (Cmd+,) and navigate to ”Locations” tab where will be shown path to ”DerivedData” folder
Click on small circle with arrow on the right side of shown ”DerivedData” path to open it in Finder
Quit Xcode
Remove ”DerivedData” folder
Clean up CocoaPods (if integrated with it) caches by entering this in Terminal:
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
From project root (where Podfile is located) run this in Terminal:
pod deintegrate MyApp.xcodeproj
Remove from project root (where Podfile is located) Podfile.lock file
From project root (where Podfile is located) run this in Terminal: pod update
Launch Xcode (hit Shift + Cmd + K just in case)
Try build project
After doing all this my Project Navigator now looks like this.
As you can see, I've lost a load of stuff including the pod file etc. As suspected, my app is now fatally wounded.
My bridging header is red, Restkit.h is red and all pod references gone.
My project root in Finder has the Pods folder and pod file etc, however if I try to drag folders into the project from Finder they do not show as they used to - e.g., folders are blue color not yellow.
I'm on Xcode 8.1 and Cocoapods 1.1.1.
How can I recover my app?
EDIT: If it helps, here is the link to my unsolved question in January which was the last time I dared touch the pod file at all until now. The consequences of this situation are the same as before - the difference is that in January I was ditching 2 weeks work, now I'm looking at ditching 10 months' work.
RestKit.h never found in Xcode project
Podfile:
pod 'RestKit', '~> 0.24.0'
pod 'SimpleKeychain'
pod 'AWSS3'
pod 'VideoCore'
pod 'SDWebImage', '~>3.7'
pod 'SVPullToRefresh'
pod 'PubNub', '~> 3.7.11'
pod 'MZFormSheetController'
Result of pod update in Terminal:
Update all pods

CocoaPods 1.2.0.beta.1 is available.

Analyzing dependencies
[!] The dependency RestKit (~> 0.24.0) is not used in any concrete target.

The dependency SVPullToRefresh is not used in any concrete target.
The dependency PubNub (~> 3.7.11) is not used in any concrete target.
The dependency MZFormSheetController is not used in any concrete target.
From the pod update logs seems like CocoaPods can't find any target where the libraries have to be applied.
Can you try something like this in your Podfile?
target 'YOUR_TARGET_NAME' do
pod 'RestKit', '~> 0.24.0'
pod 'SimpleKeychain'
pod 'AWSS3'
pod 'VideoCore'
pod 'SDWebImage', '~>3.7'
pod 'SVPullToRefresh'
pod 'PubNub', '~> 3.7.11'
pod 'MZFormSheetController'
end
Not sure if it will fix the error you have.
