Cocoapods Not Linking Private Framework Pod Correctly - ios

Question

I am trying to link a series of Pods together to encapsulate project functionality and have arrived at an issue.
I have 3 Pods:
IOS-Intrasonics -> contains Intrasonics.framework
IOS-Core -> contains core API and Intrasonics functionality
IOS-Consumer -> contains the consumer app that makes use of the core
Intrasonics Podspec:
Pod::Spec.new do |spec|
spec.name = 'IOS-Intrasonics'
spec.version = '1.0.7'
spec.license = {
:type => 'Copyright',
:text => <<-LICENSE
Copyright 2014 Intrasonics Limited. All rights reserved.
LICENSE
}
spec.homepage = 'http://www.intrasonics.com'
spec.authors = { 'xxxx' => 'xxxxx' }
spec.summary = 'Intrasonics SDK'
spec.source = { :git => 'git#github.com:xxxxx/IOS-Intrasonics.git', :tag => '1.0.7'}
spec.ios.deployment_target = '7.0'
spec.ios.vendored_frameworks = 'src/IntrasonicsDecoder.framework'
spec.ios.frameworks = 'AVFoundation', 'AudioToolbox'
spec.requires_arc = true
end
IOS-Core Podspec:
Pod::Spec.new do |spec|
spec.name = 'IOS-Core'
spec.version = '1.0.0'
spec.license = {
:type => 'Copyright',
:text => <<-LICENSE
Copyright 2014 xxxxxxx. All rights reserved.
LICENSE
}
spec.authors = { 'xxxx' => 'xxxx' }
spec.homepage = 'xxxx'
spec.summary = 'Core'
spec.source = { :git => 'git#github.com:xxxx/IOS-Core.git', :tag => '1.0.0'}
spec.ios.deployment_target = '7.0'
spec.ios.public_header_files = 'Core/Core/**/*.h'
spec.ios.source_files = 'Core/Core/**/*.{h,m}'
spec.ios.dependency 'AFNetworking'
spec.ios.dependency 'IOS-Intrasonics'
spec.requires_arc = true
end
Both of these Pods are located in a private repository. Now, when I run, pod spec lint on IOS-Core, it returns this:
$ pod spec lint
-> IOS-Core (1.0.0)
- ERROR | [xcodebuild] IOS-Core/Core/Core/Models/Events/FNXCIntrasonicsEvent.m:11:9: fatal error: 'IntrasonicsDecoder/IntrasonicsDecoder.h' file not found
- ERROR | [xcodebuild] IOS-Core/Core/Core/Helpers/Core/FNXCIntrasonicsManager.m:13:9: fatal error: 'IntrasonicsDecoder/IntrasonicsDecoder.h' file not found
Analyzed 1 podspec.
[!] The spec did not pass validation.
Even though the Podspec lists IOS-Intrasonics as a dependency, it isn't linking it. IOS-Intrasonics is included in the Podfile and works in the project just fine but it doesn't work as a dependency. Please help!

Answer 1

This looks like it's caused by you not including any public header files in the spec where you're vendoring your framework. You'd want to do that with something like:
s.public_header_files = 'path/to/headers/*.h'

Answer 2

I ended up bundling in the classes I wanted to add with the framework pod instead of the pod that included the pod with the framework.
