CocoaPods iOS Framework Linking i386 Files - ios

Question

I am having problems trying to link frameworks into a test project of mine...
I do understand, mostly, how CocoaPods work, and the reasons I am trying to link the actual frameworks from these files is beyond the scope of this question.
In my CocoaPods "Podfile", I have the following.
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '8.0'
target 'GasAPI' do
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod "Alamofire"
pod "SwiftyJSON"
target 'GasAPITests' do
inherit! :search_paths
# Pods for testing
pod "Alamofire"
pod "SwiftyJSON"
end
end
But, any time I do a "pod install", if I go the Project settings of the "Pods" project, the "Base SDK" changes to "Latest OS X".
I have made sure that all of the "Targets" have "Latest iOS (iOS 9.3) as their Base SDK.
However, when I try to link one of these files into my test project, I get a linker error that appears to me like it is looking for an OS X library, and not an iOS library.
Here is the latest error that I got:

ld: framework not found Result
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I have tried removing all Pods and rebuilding and re-adding them to the project, it still seems to want to default to OS X.
I am running Xcode v7.3.1 on OS X 10.11.6 and using CocoaPods v1.0.1
I have found lots of resources on how to link iOS & OS X projects, but that isn't the problem here. It looks like my linker is looking for architectures that it shouldn't be.
What do I need to do to get past this error?
Thanks!

Answer 1

try clicking product, then hold down option, you will see clean turn into clean build folder and click that, then run project.

Answer 2

The i386 really had nothing to do with this issue, but it kind of acted like a red-herring and threw me off.
For the API that I am building, there was no "Copy Files" section.
So, in Xcode, under "Build Phases", I added a new "Copy Files" section and then chose "Frameworks" as the "Destination". I added all of the frameworks that I needed, and everything worked!
Hope this helps anyone else who may run across this!
