I'm getting following error when I build the project.

Add Security.framework to your project target. This worked for me.

I keep getting the same error after adding Security framework. :§
Cleaned build folder, restarted xcode, restarted podfile etc, It's a new project from scratch.
Any ideas?

I'm also facing the same issue, anybody got the solution ?

Moving $(inherited) to the bottom of the list in "Library Search Paths" solved the problem for me. Thanks to someone who posted it somewhere. I couldn't find it to referer to it.

Many Thanks! Worked...

Worked for us as well by moving $(inherited) at the bottom. thanks
