project symlink not work

[Whirlwind]

CocoaPods v1.5.0 and v1.5.2:

I have a project, a development pods and other development pods in the project directory, but all projects are under the symlink directory. eg:

- MyApp -> .mbox/repos/MyApp
                      |---MySDK2
                             |---MySDK2.podspec
- MySDK -> .mbox/repos/MySDK
                      |---MySDK.podspec
- Podfile

In the Podfile:

project 'MyApp/MyApp.xcodeproj'

target 'MyApp' do
    pod 'MySDK', :path=>"MySDK"
    pod 'MySDK2', :path=>"MyApp/MySDK2"
end

I found the Development Pods in Pods project group will not work:

Yes. I believe this is the a bug. An attempt was made here #7051 but was not finished to land because it had various drawbacks.

Yes, I tried a few things to change the way symlinks are handled but unfortunately it was quite a big change.

If I have time I will take another look, but in general I'd recommend avoiding symlinks if you can. PRs are also welcome
