duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64 framework included twice - ios

Question

This is not the regular duplicate symbols error. I am using AFNetworking library for networking with cocoa pods. I also using a third party framework that has been added to the target "Link Binary With Libraries" list in build phases section.
Unfortunately, This third party framework includes the AFNetworking that apparently is being used by it for networking.
Therefore, it makes sense that this error has been produced. Any idea how can this be solved?
Edit: Here it shows that kAFUploadStream3GSuggestedPacketSize symbol is defined in the afnetworking and in the OPPWAMobile framework. along with another 59 symbols.
duplicate symbol _kAFUploadStream3GSuggestedPacketSize in:

You are correct about the Pod import of AFNetworking clashing with the 3rd party library which happens to contain the same symbols. There are are couple of ways to resolve it, the best and most sensible one would be to specify use_frameworks! in your Podfile:
platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'Saveto' do
pod 'SWTableViewCell', '~> 0.3.7'
pod 'CocoaLumberjack', '~> 2'
pod 'AFNetworking' , '~> 2'
pod 'SDWebImage', '~>3.7'
pod 'MMDrawerController', '~> 0.6.0'
pod 'iRate'
pod 'XLForm'
pod 'SwipeView', '~>1.3.2'
pod 'DAAlertController'
pod 'Mantle' , '~>2.0.4'
pod 'pop', '~> 1.0'
pod 'GoogleMaps', '~> 1.12'
pod 'SVProgressHUD'
pod 'FXBlurView'
pod 'Fabric'
pod 'Crashlytics'
end
I suppose you could also rename the symbols with a post_install method, although that might not resolve everything; there shouldn't be any issues after using the method above though.
