'NBPhoneNumberDesc.h' file not found after updating to Xcode 10.2, Swift 5

[lsamaria]

Describe the bug
I just updated to Xcode 10.2, Swift 5, MoJave and I can't build because I get the error

'NBPhoneNumberDesc.h' file not found that is located inside the NBRegExMatcher.m file

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Update from High Sierra/Xcode 10.1/Swift 4.2 to Mojave 10.14.15/Xcode 10.2.1/Swift 5
2. I used the current version of cocoapods 1.7.3 and the error appeared along with other errors. I downgraded to cocoapods 1.5.3 (version that worked fine in High Sierra) and the other errors went away but this error remained. I'm still using cocoapods 1.5.3

Expected behavior
This never happened before the upgrade

Screenshots

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: This has nothing to do with the device because this is a compile error
• OS: MoJave 10.14.5, Xcode 10.2.1
• Version: Kernel Version: Darwin 18.6.0

FlagPhoneNumber (please complete the following information):

• Version

- FlagPhoneNumber (0.7.6):
    - FlagPhoneNumber/libPhoneNumberiOS (= 0.7.6)
  - FlagPhoneNumber/libPhoneNumberiOS (0.7.6)

Additional context
Here is my q&a about the cocoapod version issue and the reason I switched from 1.7.3 to 1.5.3

Please rememeber that this same 'NBPhoneNumberDesc.h' file not found issue still occurred when I was using 1.7.3

Also, according to this answer, NBPhoneNumberDesc.h should be in the Public section which it already is:

--------------------------------UPDATE---------------------------------------

Inside the NBRegExMatcher.m file I commented out #import NBPhoneNumberDesc.h to see what would happen and then NBPhoneNumberUtil.h got the same error:

There are several other .m classes that use the NBPhoneNumberDesc.h library and none of them are complaining, maybe the problem is specific to the NBRegExMatcher.m file:

I also asked a question on SO and now I'm working on cocoapods v-1.7.3

I asked this question on SO to see if anyone over there could possibly identify the issue

I posted this answer on SO, right now there aren't any comments to address the issue but if it happens to you maybe you can check to see what commenters say if there are any in the future.

I tried a bunch of answers about changing things inside Build Settings > Header File and/or User Header files but none of them worked. I followed this answer and it worked :)

What I had to do was change the #import SomeFile.h to #import <SomeFile.h> by using the brackets instead.

Here is the code from each file

Inside the NBRegExMatcher.m file I had to change these 2 modules:

//#import "NBPhoneNumberDesc.h" // comment this out and add the brackets below
#import <NBPhoneNumberDesc.h>
//#import "NBPhoneNumberUtil.h" // comment this out and add the brackets below
#import <NBPhoneNumberUtil.h>

After I changed those I also got the same error inside the NBPhoneNumberUtil.m and had to do the same there:

//#import "NBRegExMatcher.h" // comment this out and add the brackets below
#import <NBRegExMatcher.h>

Here are pictures of each:

NBRegExMatcher.m file

NBPhoneNumberUtil.m file

On a side note I also had to add the pod 'libPhoneNumber-iOS', '~> 0.8' to my Podfile because a different error appeared because I used the library outside of the FlagPhoneNumber pod

I have the same issue and I can't just edit .m files because therefore this code is not committed to GitHub and CI system won't let the commit pass through build checks. Is there any other way to fix this issue?

xCode version - 11.3.1

@jakubradzik i posted the answer to stackoverflow. It works, I still use it now.
