XMPPFramework in podspec - ios

Previously, I integrated XMPPFramework by using dependencies in podspec: s.dependency 'XMPPFramework', '3.6.6'
I'm aware that in order to fix the error of 'Redefinition of module dnssd'. We should pod directly from the master branch:
pod 'XMPPFramework', :git => "https://github.com/robbiehanson/XMPPFramework.git", :branch => 'master'
Unfortunately, we cannot use dependencies without version, so I commented the dependency out and used pull XMPPFramework using podfile. I fixed some minor issues and was able to build the app, but when I tried to do pod spec lint I got the following error:
- NOTE | xcodebuild: PHMessaging/PHMessaging/Classes/PHMessagingManager.h:20:9: fatal error: 'XMPP.h' file not found - NOTE | xcodebuild: PHMessaging/PHMessaging/Classes/PHBasicConversationViewController.h:10:9: fatal error: 'XMPPFramework/XMPPUser.h' file not found
I've already raised the issue with CocoaPods on GitHub, and #BenAsher44 suggested to create a private specs repo and add it to the dependencies in my podspec. This didn't seem to work. Are there any other ways?

Swift pod dependency Firebase, pod spec lint error

I had some problem when I create a cocoaPod by swift,my swift pod dependency firebase. Everything is ok when I develop my pod, but there is one error when I pod spec lint.
Here is the error:
- WARN | source: Git SSH URLs will NOT work for people behind firewalls configured to only allow HTTP, therefore HTTPS is preferred.
- WARN | url: There was a problem validating the URL https://xxxxxxxxxxx.
- ERROR | [iOS] unknown: Encountered an unknown error (The following Swift pods cannot yet be integrated as static libraries:
The Swift pod `MyPod` depends upon `FirebaseCore` and `FirebaseCrashlytics`, which do not define modules. To opt into those targets generating module maps (which is necessary to import them from Swift when building as static libraries), you may set `use_modular_headers!` globally in your Podfile, or specify `:modular_headers => true` for particular dependencies.
Here is my pod spec:
s.static_framework = true
s.subspec 'Common' do |ss|
ss.source_files = 'Source/Common/**/*.swift'
end
s.subspec 'MyPodFirebase' do |ss|
ss.source_files = 'Source/Firebase/**/*.swift'
ss.dependency 'FirebaseCore'
ss.dependency 'FirebaseAnalytics'
ss.dependency 'FirebaseCrashlytics'
ss.dependency 'MyPod/Common'
end
Can anybody help me?

Cocoapod subspec dependency not adding header/library search paths

I'm writing a Cocoapods podspec for a Swift library (https://github.com/promotedai/ios-metrics-sdk). One of our clients asked us to add Firebase Analytics tracking to the internals of this library. As a result, in the podspec, I broke the Firebase dependency into a subspec.
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'PromotedAIMetricsSDK'
...
s.subspec 'FirebaseAnalytics' do |a|
a.source_files = ['Sources/PromotedFirebaseAnalytics/**/*.{h,m,swift}']
a.dependency 'Firebase/Analytics', '~> 7.11.0'
a.dependency 'PromotedAIMetricsSDK/Core'
end
end
The problem I ran into was that the above subspec neither builds nor passes pod lib lint. The build complained about a missing Firebase framework, and the lint step complained about the same thing. I had to add the following xcconfig to the subspec to get things working.
analytics_xcconfig = {
'USER_HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS' => '"${PODS_ROOT}/Firebase/CoreOnly/Sources"',
'FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS' => '"${PODS_XCFRAMEWORKS_BUILD_DIR}/FirebaseAnalytics" "${PODS_XCFRAMEWORKS_BUILD_DIR}/GoogleUtilities" "${PODS_XCFRAMEWORKS_BUILD_DIR}/nanopb"',
'OTHER_LDFLAGS' => '-framework "FirebaseAnalytics" -framework "GoogleUtilities" -framework "nanopb"'
}
s.subspec 'FirebaseAnalytics' do |a|
a.source_files = ['Sources/PromotedFirebaseAnalytics/**/*.{h,m,swift}']
a.dependency 'Firebase/Analytics', '~> 7.11.0'
a.dependency 'PromotedAIMetricsSDK/Core'
a.pod_target_xcconfig = analytics_xcconfig
end
While the above configuration allows the subspec to build and pass lint validation, it defeats the purpose of having a package manager take care of these dependencies. I have other subspecs that pull in dependencies that don't encounter the same problem. Also, pulling in Firebase/Analytics directly in the app's Podfile works fine.
Am I missing something? Is there a reason why Firebase/Analytics requires this xcconfig hack when building from a subspec of a podspec? Can I get rid of this hack somehow?
For a demonstration of this problem, pull the above repo and remove the a.pod_target_xcconfig = ... lines from the FirebaseAnalytics subspec, then run pod lib lint. Commit 67cb6173ee0f43b33cfb726b6337cc14463d220b in the repo demonstrates a similar problem where the linker can't find the FirebaseAnalytics framework (run pod lib lint on that commit).
I'm using Cocoapods 1.10.1, Xcode 12.5, and macOS 11.3.
Thanks,

Cocoapod podspec validation - Unknown DSL error occured

Im trying to upload the new version of my pod to cocoapods spec repo. The current live version is 0.3.1 and it is a framework build with swift 4.2. Now i updated the library and build with Xcode 11.1 (swift 5). But while linting the podspec file, im getting an unknown DSL error in the terminal.
I have tried with changing the name of podspec and with same framework. but no use. anyone please help

We ran into this issue when we try creating a release and publishing a library. This error occurs when you are trying to run pod spec lint or pod repo push. The error says "DSLError" and doesn't give much information on what is causing it. I found little help online and some places they say, there could be a syntax error in the podspec file. We didn't have any in our podspec. However, this answer from stackoverflow gave me some direction https://stackoverflow.com/a/64779582
It looks like while making a release for one SDK/library, the pod spec lint and pod repo push validates all the podspecs in the folder besides the ones you ran. I don't know how that works internally. You should look for the following scenarios to identify the issue:
If there are other podspecs for capabilities that have different tags(Example: ABC.podspec pointed to source tag 1.0.0-ABC and XYZ.podspec pointed to source tag 2.0.0-XYZ)
Multiple podspecs have dependencies on different versions of the same module(Example: Module1.podspec depends on Module 5 version 10.0.0 and Module2.podspec also depends on Module 5 but on the version 11.0.0).
Syntax errors in any of the podspecs
If you come across either or both 1 & 2, it could be a potential cause for the DSLError.
When you run into this issue, make sure you look for and update the following:
All podspecs to have pointed to one source tag
All dependencies on a module pointed to one version of it in each capability.
Fix the sytanx errors.
This issue will go away or reduce significantly when the SDK libraries can be separated into their repositories instead of all in one repository, or perhaps even by keeping each podspec in their own individual folder.

Cannot Lint/Push a Swift Cocoapods podspec

I tried to create my first podspec combining ObjC and Swift code, but I soon stumbled uppon a stubborn error that I cannot solve while uploading
Copying MyLibrary from /Users/lukasschwoebel/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/Pods/External/MyLibrary/540307feb534d63ad9015f3f6452b3ad-be661 to
../../../../../../private/var/folders/2p/_pc_vts51b3_pfydgm7_2n200000gn/T/CocoaPods/Lint/Pods/MyLibrary
- Running pre install hooks
-> MyLibrary (0.1.0)
- ERROR | [iOS] Encountered an unknown error (Pods written in Swift can only be integrated as frameworks; this feature is still in beta. Add use_frameworks! to your Podfile or target to opt into using it. The Swift Pod being used is: MyLibrary) during validation.
Here is the command I use:
pod repo push test-podspecs MyLibrary/MyLibrary.podspec --use-libraries --allow-warnings --verbose
As you might see, this is the minimum untouched sample project from CocoaPods as described here: https://guides.cocoapods.org/making/using-pod-lib-create.html
As I can not even make this sample running, I suspect something wrong with my cocoapods configuration.
I made sure there is no single Objective C line in the pod that is to be uploaded (though in the end, I would like to have a podspec with ObjC and Swift code mixed, but at this time I just want to have a working podspec with Swift).
I cannot even upload this simple pod with pure Swift. I first tried with CocoaPods v0.39.0, then downgraded to 0.38.2 and after that 0.38.0, even 0.36.0. Even with a complete un-install of CocoaPods.
It seems I need to configure something in CocoaPods to be able to upload a Swift podspec? The error I get obviously is during the building-phase of the pod where the Podfile needs use_frameworks! to be included. So how can I make CocoaPods use it while compiling the pod during the podspec verification?
Also, I have Xcode 7.0.1 and OSX 10.10.5 installed and it is Swift 2.0 code.
Thank you in advance!
Here is the complete podspec, adapted from the original created MyLibrary.podspec (and yes, that is a local Podspec-Repo, but that does not cause/change the error)
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = "MyLibrary"
s.version = "0.1.0"
s.summary = "A short description of MyLibrary."
s.description = 'Sample Description'
s.license = 'MIT'
s.author = { "Luke A." => "ls#mymail.to" }
s.source = { :git => "file:///Users/.../test/MyLibrary/", :tag => s.version.to_s }
s.platform = :ios, '8.0'
s.requires_arc = true
s.source_files = 'Pod/Classes/**/*'
s.resource_bundles = {
'MyLibrary' => ['Pod/Assets/*.png']
}
s.frameworks = 'UIKit'
end
I just found the answer, which seems a little obvious.
The command to upload/push the pod was in a bash-script so I did not always have to type all the flags but just and over the filename/path to the podspec. So in the default bash-script I had the flag --use-libraries which is required for one of my pods.
As I was trying something out and had a typo in the pod repo push .. command I stumbled across the man-page:
--use-libraries
Linter uses static libraries to install the spec
With static libraries, this flag seems to be incompatible with Swift podspecs. Removing that flag lints and pushes my podspec successfully.

pod repo lint error: [!] An unexpected version directory `<a dir>` was encountered for the `<Parent Dir>` Pod in the `<Parent Dir>` repository

I am tryin to lint my pod spec and getting the following error.
[!] An unexpected version directory 'ios' was encountered for the 'Classes' Pod in the 'Classes' repository.
My source folders are set as follows:
Classes
- ios
- osx
Podspec has source files as:
s.source_files = 'Classes/**/*.*'
Any ideas what is causing this error?
OK I was having a bad day. Should have been using:
pod spec lint .
