How to install new pods witout affecting other pods? - ios

I'm facing a problem with my pods.
I edited some pods, and when I request a new pods using "pod install", the edited pods will be cleaned and installed again.
Is there a way to install new pods or update specific one without affecting others?

No. When you install new pods, all the pods will be reset accordingly. If you need to make changes to an API you want, you should rather add it in your project manually instead of using it as a pod.
This way, you can add any amount of pods without affecting that particular API, and your changes will be saved properly as well.

Actually, there is a workaround: just specify exact versions of pods in your Podfile.
For example:
Podfile:
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '10.0'
target 'TestApp' do
# Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
use_frameworks!
# Pods for TestApp
pod 'RxSwift', '4.1.2'
pod 'RxCocoa', '4.1.2'
pod 'Alamofire', '4.6'
pod 'SwiftyJSON', '4.0'
pod 'ObjectMapper', '3.1'
pod 'SVProgressHUD', '2.2', :inhibit_warnings => true
pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift', '5.0.7'
pod 'Validator', '3.0', :inhibit_warnings => true
end
As you can see in my Podfile all pods have exact specified versions (i.e. without ~>).
So if you add your pod in this kind of Podfile, then only it will be installed, cause the other ones are already installed.

Firestore installation using Cocoapods

I'm trying to install firestore in my project.
When I'm trying to install that, Xcode displays:
fatal error: module map file '/Users/account/Documents/myapp/Pods/Headers/Private/openssl_grpc/BoringSSL-GRPC.modulemap' not found
or sometimes another errors....
so I've spend so many of times (almost entire 2 days) to solve this problem, but nothing is actually working :/ (deleting derived data and Pods folder, pod deintegrate, pod install and update or cleaning build (Command-shift-k)).
platform :ios, '13.0'
target 'myapp' do
# Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
#use_frameworks!
use_modular_headers!
# add the Firebase pod for Google Analytics
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/DynamicLinks'
pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
#pod 'FirebaseFirestoreSwift'
# add pods for any other desired Firebase products
# https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#available-posd
end
this is my Podfile. and whenever I delete pod 'Firebase/Firestore', everything's working whereas Firebase/Firestore is not. (surely to recover normal working state, I comment all of pod repositories, (in terminal) type "pod install" and then uncomment top 4 repositories and pod install....)
I really wanna use Firestore, but I can't.
We can also force CocoaPods to not apply modular headers for the troubling pods... in this case:
pod 'BoringSSL-GRPC', '= 0.0.3', :modular_headers => false
pod 'gRPC-Core', '= 1.21.0', :modular_headers => false
Firestore requires latest CocoaPods. As per Google developer
It should get better with CocoaPods 1.9.0 which is adding the
capability to specify dynamic/static linkage for each pod in the
Podfile.

IOS - How to Fix the "ld: library not found for -lBolts" Error?

I've got this annoying error for number of days now:
I've tried:
Deleting pods folder & pod file & pod.lock file & .workspace file and reinstalling pods again.
removing all library search paths in pods.xconfig file
this is my pod file :
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '11.0'
target 'MyApp' do
# Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
# use_frameworks!
# Pods for MyApp
pod 'Firebase'
pod 'Bolts'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'
pod 'Fabric'
pod 'Crashlytics'
pod 'PersonalizedAdConsent'
pod 'Highcharts', '~> 6.1.0'
pod 'FBSDKCoreKit'
pod 'GoogleToolboxForMac'
pod 'FirebaseAnalytics'
end
This is my problem, If you need any other indications or code about my issue, feel free to leave me a comment and I'll edit the question
Try to run following commands in Terminal (in your project's folder):
pod deintegrate // removes all pod related configurations from your project
rm Podfile.lock //removes the saved reference to the pods
pod install // reinstalls the pods
Clean your project (In Xcode: ⌘+K and ⌘+Shift+K)
And finally make sure you compile the same target from which the error originates (You should be able to see the target it originates from within the issue navigator ⌘+5)

Many build errors after pod update

I have many pods installed in my project. Everything worked fine since my last pod update. After last pod update, I have 28 build errors starting with "Could not build module xxx".
Here is my podfile:
target 'projectXXX' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'Firebase'
pod 'Firebase/Database'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/Storage'
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
pod 'Firebase/Crash'
pod 'TwitterKit'
pod 'Fabric'
pod 'Crashlytics' end
I tried to uninstall - install cocoapods.
I tried to deintegrate pod from project, install, remove .workspace file and deriveData folder... still got these errors.
I'm running out of ideas. Please, any other solution?
Thanks you very much
EDIT
I have just discovered that my Pods.framework is in red state as visible on screenshot below. Maybe this can help?
First try to remove cocoa pods completely
gem install cocoapods-deintegrate
pod deintegrate
gem install cocoapods-clean
pod clean
Then install again like this
pod setup
open -a Xcode Podfile
In Pod file add like this
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '10.0'
# Uncomment this line if you're using Swift
use_frameworks!
target 'TestProject' do
pod 'Firebase'
pod 'Firebase/Database'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/Storage'
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
pod 'Firebase/Crash'
pod 'TwitterKit'
pod 'Fabric'
pod 'Crashlytics'
end
target 'ProjectTests' do
end
pod install
Updating Xcode can resolve this issue. Thing is, pods might support multiple swift versions, so pods should be able to specify a range of swift versions.
Before Updating check if PODS_ROOT user-definer value in Build Settings of target is not deleted may be accidently. If so Try to add PODS_ROOT=${SRCROOT}/Pods
It's possible that you use old pods repositories and after update (that was few month ago) you need to specify which pod repository to use. I suggest that you need old one. See how looks my pod file for old project:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Old-Specs.git'
platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
xcodeproj 'SF'
#link_with 'SF'
target 'SF' do
pod 'TransitionKit'
pod 'MBProgressHUD'
pod 'PureLayout'
pod 'UICountingLabel'
pod 'MWPhotoBrowser', :git => 'https://github.com/pash3r/MWPhotoBrowser.git', :branch => 'skyFlyWork'
end
What could cause the issue:
- Breaking changes in Pods/APIs
- Breaking changes due to support/non-support of Swift versions
If you are using a versioning system (Git, etc.).
Retrieve an older version of Podfile.lock.
Read that file (it's a text file, you can do more somePath/Podfile.lock in Terminal.app), and the "explicit" versions of your pods should be there.
You should get something like:
PODS:
- GSKStretchyHeaderView (1.0.3)
- Masonry (1.1.0)
...
PODFILE CHECKSUM: someCheckSum
COCOAPODS: 1.1.1
When you do pod 'Firebase' you don't specify a version, so you should get the last one. But if some versions are not compatible, you can get issues.
So you may add the '~> 1.0.3' (for instance if I take my example of GSKStretchyHeaderView). More informations on how to use it here.
So this way you should get back on a older version when everything was working. Now, you can check the documentation of each pods (and their respective podspec looking for "hidden" dependencies) and update them one by one checking which one is the culprit, and then maybe rising a flag (an issue) on their repo/git if needed.
For next dev, I'd suggest to set "version", to at least majors using the "optimistic operator ~>". If they respect the rules of versions, (major/minor/patch), then at least determine the major/minor, a patch shouldn't break anything, but fix things. A minor may have breaking change, while a major has a lot of probability to not be compatible with previous work (different declaration, classes renames, etc.).
If you don't use a versioning system like Git, I STRONGLY suggest you do now.
But if that's your case and you still have the issue. Remember a date when everything was working fine after a pod update/install. Then, go to each Git of your pods, and read the history to find the version at that date and set that version in your podfile for that pod.
Shen you are doing pod update which update all libraries most of the libraries on swift4 still some of them in swift3
If libraries are in swift 4 and your project in swift 3.2 you have two possibilities
you can migrate project to swift4
(or)
you need to rollback to the swift 3.2 supported pods
If project in swift4 libraries in swift3 you need to migrate those libraries into swift4 to solve current problem

Cocoapods install error- Unable to find a specification for pod

I am trying to install two pods to my Xcode project from terminal. I initially had installed a pod called PRAugmentedReality, and it worked fine. Then I tried adding the pod BFTransmitter, and started getting the following error message:
[!] Unable to find a specification for 'PRAugmentedReality'
If I remove the PRAugmentedReality pod and install with just BFTransmitter, it also works fine. So basically I am able to install either on their own, but not together.
My podfile looks like this:
#source for BFTransmitter
source 'https://bitbucket.org/bridgefy/bridgefypods.git'
target 'FWF' do
pod 'BFTransmitter'
pod 'PRAugmentedReality'
target 'FWFTests' do
inherit! :search_paths
end
end
I have tried repo remove master pod setup and then pod install, still no luck.
just add source to install both pods together check my podFile and add sourced before your target as I did
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
source 'https://bitbucket.org/bridgefy/bridgefypods.git'
target 'pod' do
# Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
# use_frameworks!
pod 'BFTransmitter'
pod 'PRAugmentedReality'
# Pods for pod
end
Result
I encounter the same problem in my project.
When I was editing pod file, I changed pod 'SCSoftKycSolutionSdkSource' to pod 'MyprojectName'.
I fixed the below, issue fixed.
pod 'SCSoftKycSolutionSdkSource'

Duplicate target after "pod install"

After I added new dependency to my project and run pod install, I have duplicate target in my workspace(.xcworkspace) as below:
And this is the pod file structure:
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.6'
pod 'Fabric'
pod 'Crashlytics'
pod 'SocketRocket'
I restart the project and also Xcode, but it does not help. What is the reason and how can I solve the problem?
First, try to wrap your pods with target specification, like this:
target 'TargetName' do
pod 'Fabric'
pod 'Crashlytics'
#other pods
end
Delete your .xcworkspace, podfile.lock and pods folder, just as #SukruK suggested.
Do pod install again and open the workspace created.
You can do the following instructions in order to fix this configuration issue CocoaPods did not set the base configuration of your project because your project already has a custom config set.
Go to your project settings
Set None configuration set for both Pods-related targets
Run pod install again
