Bug report

My Podfile uses use_frameworks! since I'm using Swift. When trying to install OTAcceleratorCore, I get an error that there are static binaries:

[!] The 'Pods-Project' target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries: (/Users/me/code/project/Pods/OTKAnalytics/OTKAnalytics.framework and /Users/me/code/project/Pods/OpenTok/OpenTok.framework)

Expected behavior

Should I be able to install using frameworks? Not 100% sure honestly.

Actual behavior

pod install errors out

Steps to reproduce

Example Podfile:

target 'TestProj' do
  use_frameworks!

  pod 'OpenTok', '~> 2.10.0'
  pod 'OTAcceleratorCore', '~> 1.0.4'

end

Crash log? Screenshots? Videos? Sample project?

Question or Feature Request

Should I be able to install with frameworks? If I comment one use_frameworks! then I can't install other pods that I'm using.

Hi, @seanadkinson. Due to the fact that OpenTok iOS SDK is a static library and the rule of CocoaPods, you can not use use_frameworks! in the Podfile. One thing that you can't do is to build a Swift framework on top of OpenTok library via CocoaPods. However, if you only intend to build a project mixing with Objective-C and Swift code. You can remove use_frameworks! and use the Objective-C bridging so it's available to your Swift codes. For more info: https://blog.cocoapods.org/CocoaPods-0.36/. 😃

Thanks for the response @Lucashuang0802. So there is no way for me to use OTAcceleratorCore in my project? Many of my cocoapods dependencies are swift projects, so I can't take out use_frameworks! easily it appears. Perhaps I could install OTAcceleratorCore outside of cocoapods? Is there a way to download it as a bundle or something? Thanks

[Lucashuang0802]

Seems like that's currently no way to resolve it by using CocoaPods because you need use_framework! to build your Swift third party dependencies. What you can do is to download all source files and manually import the file. Or you can take advantage of Carthage to manage your Swift third party dependencies and install OTAcceleratorCore by using CocoaPods.

[seanadkinson]

Thanks @Lucashuang0802, will try some things out. Would be nice for OT to publish a swift version of the code, but that's just a feature request. I appreciate your time.

@seanadkinson In case you are curious, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28917651/building-a-cocoapod-with-swift-and-dependency-on-objective-c-framework/28937580#28937580. We might do some modifications.

[seanadkinson]

Thanks @Lucashuang0802, I'll dig more into that.

hi @Lucashuang0802 , I ran into the same issue, have you guys done some modifications regarding this, or it is yet to be done,
also @seanadkinson can you suggest me something that helped you.

[Lucashuang0802]

Hi, @chitvan832. If you don't have to use use_frameworks!, you can remove it. If you have to, I suggest mixing Carthage with CocoaPods.

@Lucashuang0802 I've almost completed a project with video chat feature and In my project, I need a chat functionality now. At this stage, I can not comment use_frameworks!. I am a paid user of tokbox please suggest what I can do. I've not used Carthage before. Please release a swift compatible version.

[Lucashuang0802]

Hi @basiralam, it doesn't seem that's a plan for now. In order to launch your project as quickly as you can, Carthage is the only option now. It's super easy to use. I also put up a template mixing with CocoaPods with Carthage here: https://github.com/Lucashuang0802/CocoaPodsWithCarthage. Hope it helps.

Hi @Lucashuang0802 ,My pod file

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
def pods

pod 'Alamofire'
pod 'PRTween'
pod 'OTTextChatAccelerator'
pod 'OTAnnotationAccelerator', '= 1.0.0-beta2'
pod 'SVProgressHUD', '=2.2.1'
pod 'OTAcceleratorCore', '= 1.1.5'
end

target 'XXX' do
pods

end

I was used both swift (Alamofire)&Objective c (PRTween) Its working fine.But
After i was added like that above ....
But, Is coming as

The 'Pods-xxx' target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries: (/Users/gsreddy/Desktop/Final/SpearC/Pods/OTKAnalytics/OTKAnalytics.framework and /Users/gsreddy/Desktop/Final/SpearC/Pods/OpenTok/OpenTok.framework)

[Lucashuang0802]

@Evolgence Basically, you can't get it to work by using CocoaPods only. Like I mentioned #24 (comment), you need to work with Carthage. Hope this helps.

Thanks @Lucashuang0802 ,I was import the all source files by manually.Its working fine in my devices .But when i was trying to create a build its telling
