Installation of any new Cocoapod is causing build failure - ios

Question

I have a simple Xcode project with some Pods (related to Google Firebase) already installed. Everything with these is working perfectly fine. However, any attempts to install any additional Pods is resulting in the Xcode project failing to compile. I'm providing two examples of this below. Please note that both pods below are failing with the same error
LBTAComponents
I am trying to install the LBTAComponents pod.
I add pod "LBTAComponents" to the Podfile and run Pod install. I then build the project, and the build fails with error /Users/admin/testApp/Pods/leveldb-library/port/port_posix.h:77:35: Use of undeclared identifier '__BYTE_ORDER'
I've tried the standard troubleshooting steps, such as cleaning the build data and deleting the Derived Data folder. The issue still persists
AFNetworking
I am having a similar issue with the AFNetwoking pod.
I add pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 3.0'" to the Podfile and run Pod install. I then build the project, and again the build fails with error /Users/admin/testApp/Pods/leveldb-library/port/port_posix.h:77:35: Use of undeclared identifier '__BYTE_ORDER'. This is the same error as the previous example.
Again, the standard troubleshooting steps I mentioned before did not resolve the issue.
I'll emphasize again that the installation of Google's Firebase pods is working perfectly fine. However, subsequent pod installations are producing the error I described above.
Any idea how I can go about correcting this? Cheers!
LBTAComponents
Okay, so attempting to install any additional Pods related to Firebase also results in the same build failure as above. So it seems that I cannot install any new Pods whatsoever.
For reference, here is my Podfile:
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'
target 'App' do
# Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
use_frameworks!
# Pods for App
pod 'Firebase'
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/Storage'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
pod 'Firebase/Database'
target 'AppTests' do
inherit! :search_paths
# Pods for testing
pod 'Firebase'
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/Storage'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
pod 'Firebase/Database'
end
target 'AppUITests' do
inherit! :search_paths
# Pods for testing
pod 'Firebase'
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/Storage'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
pod 'Firebase/Database'
end
end
and my Podfile.lock:

Answer 1

the build fails with error /Users/admin/testApp/Pods/leveldb-library/port/port_posix.h:77:35: Use of undeclared identifier '__BYTE_ORDER'. This is the same error as the previous example.
If you read the error, you'll see that the offending pod is leveldb-library. A quick pod search leveldb-library points us to the leveldb-library Github repo, where we should be able to find the offending file. Looking at your Podfile.lock, you're inheriting the dependency on leveldb-library from Firebase. There's something a little weird about that leveldb-library pod -- most of the tags in the repo have a 'v', like v1.20, but a few are missing the 'v', such as 1.22. If you look at the port directory in the 1.22 tag, you'll see that none of the file names mention posix, but if you look in the v1.20 tag you'll find the port_posix.h file that the error complains about.
So, it looks like maybe you've some outdated files in your copy of the leveldb-library pod, and you should probably just clear that out and install it again. IIRC you can do:
pod clean leveldb-library
followed by:
pod install
and you should get a fresh copy. If that doesn't solve the problem, continue to dig into exactly which copy of that pod you've got and make sure it matches what's in the pod's repo. You could also do a pod update since you're at least one version behind on Firebase.

Answer 2

I had same error on leveldb-library (same version and same checksum as OP) after I updated my macOS to catalina, upgraded my Cocoapod and upgrade my XCode from 10.2 to 11.1.
I solved my problem after I changed the build system from New Build System to Legacy Build System via File Menu -> Workspace Settings.. -> Build System. (refer to https://stackoverflow.com/a/53050109/3230406)

Answer 3

resolved by cleaning build folder product -> clean build folder
