What did you do?

pod lib lint --private --verbose

What did you expect to happen?

Verify my podspec with following dependencies:

s.dependency 'RuntimeRoutines', '~> 0.3'
s.dependency 'PLCrashReporter', '~> 1.2'
s.dependency 'libMachO', '~> 0.1'

What happened instead?

ERROR | [iOS] unknown: Encountered an unknown error (The 'Pods-App' target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries: (/private/var/folders/b0/cqvfzy9j3h33dsb342j6n9dh0000gr/T/CocoaPods/Lint/Pods/PLCrashReporter/iOS Framework/CrashReporter.framework)

Used this code in podfile to avoid error while pod install:

pre_install do |installer|
    def installer.verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies; end
end

But still need solution for pod lib lint

[k06a]

Found similar problem #6028

[k06a]

Looks like I am not able to push my new library to CocoaPods trunk, because of PLCrashReporter dependency.

You probably want to look at the --use-libraries argument - this may pass, the error message should indeed be legitimate but only for framework based pods

[k06a]

@orta thanks, that works fine!

[k06a]

Still have problems with PLCrashReporter dependency. Both --use-frameworks and --use-libraries flags produces error while pod lib lint step:

 -> PuppyWatchdog (0.1.0)
    - ERROR | xcodebuild: Returned an unsuccessful exit code.
    - NOTE  | xcodebuild:  PuppyWatchdog/PuppyWatchdog/Classes/MLWPuppyWatchdog.m:24:9: fatal error: 'CrashReporter/CrashReporter.h' file not found

Here is the project: https://github.com/ML-Works/PuppyWatchdog

--verbose flag gives me hint:

[k06a]

Looks like iOS Framework directory is really missing. Can pod lib lint misinterpret PLCrashReportper.podspec @orta?
