Experiencing the same issue.

Getting the same issue here, too. This should be a bug not an enhancement.

[Josh2941]

Here also the same problem. But works fine for Android. I too think its must be a bug.

[Yandamuri]

Here also the same problem.This should be a bug.

Guys, anybody who is experiencing that, please make a reproducible demo. Otherwise this does not move anywhere, remember, we are community, are we?

P.S. This is not a bug, because pod dependencies should be resolved by developer.

This is the Podfile when modifying according to react-native-maps documentation

Terminal output after hitting 'pod install' and project works fine

Everyone, could you please try the workaround found here (the pre_install script):

CocoaPods/CocoaPods#6993 or the updated one linked in the comment?

Let us know. Thanks.

[phhuan]

It fixed my problem.
Please try: CocoaPods/CocoaPods#3289 (comment), the pre_install command post-cocapods 1.3.x should be:

pre_install do |installer|
# workaround for CocoaPods/CocoaPods#3289
Pod::Installer::Xcode::TargetValidator.send(:define_method, :verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies) {}
end

Very old issue, closing. Please re-open if you still have it.

[dunklesToast]

I am still encountering this problem. The workaround seems to fix it.

[hoonblizz]

I had the same issue. Adding

pre_install do |installer|
Pod::Installer::Xcode::TargetValidator.send(:define_method, :verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies) {}
end

after target fixes the issue.

@yuoppp try hoonblizz way it works

[CyrusZei]

check so that you don't have the use_frameworks! in your podfile. Removed that and it worked

[dawidvdh]

Placing the following in my Podfile worked for various libraries that I had this same issue with while still using use_frameworks!:

pre_install do |installer|
  installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
    if pod.name.eql?('NAME_OF_POD') || pod.name.start_with?('START_OF_NAME_OF_POD')
      def pod.build_type;
        # Uncomment one line depending on your CocoaPods version
        Pod::BuildType.static_library # >= 1.9
        # Pod::Target::BuildType.static_library # < 1.9
      end
    end
  end
end

replacing NAME_OF_POD and START_OF_NAME_OF_POD with what you require of course.

Thanx, @hoonblizz , you helped so much! 👍
