Link error attempting to build app with Cocoapods using xcodebuild on Jenkins
cocoapods, jenkins, xcode
Solution
The 'Build Output Directory' setting can also cause this.
Changing the value of the 'Build Output Directory' from a relative path to a fully specified path fixed it for me.
E.g. instead of 'MyOutputDirectory' use '/Users/Shared/Jenkins/home/jobs/JenkinsProject/workspace/MyOutputDirectory'
Problem
I'm trying to set up a Jenkins CI instance for our app development project. I have jobs working that run logic and application tests using the Debug configuration but I'm struggling to build the IPA as I get a linkage error during compilation. ``` ld: library not found for -lPods clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) ``` The app uses Cocoapods and I'm building with the Jenkins XCode plugin. I searched for similar problems and tried/verified a bunch of things: - I am using a workspace. - I'm running `pod install` before the xcodebuild step. - I've checked that architectures on the project itself, the target and Pods are the same – standard (armv7, armv7s) – as suggested by this answer - I tried various solutions from this GitHub thread - I tried various settings for Derived Data locations as per this answer and similar ones - The Podfile specifies `platform :ios, :deployment_target => "6.0"` At that point I'm at a loss for what more to try.
