[iOS] XCode v7.2+ Fails with Cocoapods on emulator

[NathanaelA]

This issue has cropped up multiple times in the NS community; and so far my advice has been to downgrade to 7.1. This effects other communities (not just NS). But since 7.2 and the new 7.3 beta has this issue this is something that we probably need to solve before v1.6 is released.

This issue from everything I've read only appears in NativeScript when a cocoapod is added to the project; so fortunately it doesn't affect the majority of people. But that means their might be something not being passed via the command line when it is building the cocoapod.

See: NativeScript/ios-jsc#488

Seems like one option is to downgrade to 7.1 AND the other one is to run the app using:

tns livesync ios --emulator --watch

The last worked for me....for now.

Another workaround for now it is https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-deintegrate that solves the problem of the corrupted pods by clearing the dependencies so they are freshly installed again.

One thing to note; if you upgrade your iDevice to iOS 9.2; you are required to use XCode 7.2 or later of XCode to be able to deploy to the iDevice as 7.1 doesn't have the disk image information for iOS 9.2...

This has been fixed by @ivanbuhov & @Mitko-Kerezov and is tagged to show up in v1.6! However, in the meantime I wrote up a blog post using Ivan's solution so that you can easily fix it now on your own projects. http://fluentreports.com/blog/?p=214
