File not found- GoogleUtilities/Libraries/libGTM_NSData+zlib.a

Question

Getting file not found error for GoogleUtilities/Libraries/libGTM_NSData+zlib.a.

Below is some Google library related content in my Podfile

pod 'GoogleAnalytics', '~> 3.14.0'
pod 'Google/CloudMessaging', '~> 1.1.0'
pod 'Google/SignIn'
pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK'

Yes of course I did. It was working fine before I checked out an older branch and did `pod update` after switching back. — atulkhatri, Apr 01 '16 at 10:00
I'm having this issue too - for the same file. Did you have any luck? — Killian, Apr 01 '16 at 15:00
No, I did some modification in `pod update` to avoid updating Google libraries. Seems one of them is causing this issue. — atulkhatri, Apr 01 '16 at 15:10
@imagngames No I decided not to do `pod update` for now due to a critical release. You can try Killian's solution below. Let me know if it works :) — atulkhatri, Apr 04 '16 at 14:22
by the way `Google` cocoapod is up to version 2.0.3 right now; you are limiting it from updating to the latest version. could that be the problem? — user102008, Apr 05 '16 at 01:17

If you go to your target's Pod xcconfig, i.e Pods-Development.debug.xcconfig, near the end of the file there is the entry -force_load $(PODS_ROOT)/GoogleUtilities/Libraries/libGTM_NSData+zlib.a.

Getting rid of that fixes the build error. I've not come across any other issues with this as a fix yet. Not sure why this is being added in.

That did not work for me unfortunately. Can OP tell/validate the answer or if he found another way to solve his problem ? – Chris R. Dec 26 '16 at 12:22

Just to update everyone on this, I followed these steps to fix this issue:

Deintegrate cocoapod
Clear all cache
Reinstall cocoapod

Below are some of the commands that will do the trick:

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
rm -rf Pods
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
pod deintegrate
pod setup
pod install

Thanks

I tried a lot of different solutions. This one was the only that worked (Working in React Native v: .60+) Thank you – Aluminium22 Jul 16 '21 at 15:47
