CocoaPods importing a framework to source code
cocoapods, frameworks, ios, objective-c, xcode
Solution
EDIT This process is now entirely handled by the `vendored_frameworks` option. This handles preserving the paths, the framework search paths, and linking to the project.
Problem
In my pod for iOS, I have a essentially items: - Open-source classes (.m & .h files) - MyFramework.framework (.framework directory, header files, and .bundle for resources) One of the open-source classes calls `import <MyFramework.MyFramework.h>` so it can use the components of MyFramework in its implementation. But because of this, I'm having trouble getting the podspec to pass the spec lint test (`pod spec lint MyCocoapod.podspec`). When I run the spec lint validation, it says: ``` ERROR | [iOS] [xcodebuild] .../MyFile.h:54:9: fatal error: 'MyFramework/MyFramework.h' file not found ``` While investigating, I noticed that the podspec does pass the spec lint validation if I remove that open-source class in the podspec's source_files section, `s.source_files = 'MyFiles.{h,m}'`. Any idea why my class can't import my custom framework during the spec lint validation? The relevant code in the podspec looks like this: ``` s.preserve_paths = 'myframework/MyFramework.framework' s.frameworks = 'Foundation', 'MyFramework' s.xcconfig = { 'FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS' => '$(SRCROOT)/myframework/' } s.public_header_files = 'MyFramework.framework/Headers/*.h', 'SourceCode/*.h' s.source_files = 'SourceCode/*.{h,m}' # Crashes here - Source_file imports MyFramework.h. If I take this out, it passes spec lint validation ```
