pods issue, linker command failed with exit code 1

Question

when I run my project, I get errors like this: enter image description here

It seems that all frameworks in my cocoapods have problem. Is it my problem of my cocoapods? I have reinstalled my cocoapods, and used 'pod setup' or 'pod install' and others, but it doesn't work, and I still have the same errors... And in Xcode, red 'rd' on the 'Podfile' like this, I don't know if it is related to errors. enter image description here

pod 1.0.0 ruby 2.0.0 xcode 7.3.1 Anyone have the same problem?

something else: I can run other projects which depend on cocoapods, but my team's projects have this problem.My team's projects use my own Private Pods.This has influence on my problem? But I remove private pods from Podfile,it still have same errors... — MeR8., May 18 '16 at 04:24
you can try to de-integrate Pod and try to integrate it later. Here is de-integrate script: https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-deintegrate — Tien, May 18 '16 at 04:24

In my case this was an issue with the latest Toolchain I installed, I switched back to Xcode 10 toolchain (default) everything went back to normal and error went away — Libby Lebyane, Sep 26 '20 at 13:36

I faced similar problem in my project. After hours of searching I found that in GENERAL settings of the project in section "Linked Frameworks and Libraries" there are two files for pods: "libPods.a" and "Pods_ProjectName.framework"

Deleting "libPods.a" helped in my case.

just want to say thank you, this was my issue. I had yarn removed a library but i still needed to remove it from this linked frameworks tab :) – Jordan Lewallen May 07 '18 at 21:13
@Bastek Actually taking a out for Unity.Where to find the settings? I cant find. Using Xcode 10 – zyonneo Aug 01 '18 at 08:56
@zyonneo select your project file in the left pane, you should see settings – Bastek Aug 01 '18 at 09:02
@Bastek What do you mean by settings? Is it folder view similar to the image added by the the person who asked this question.I have the exact same view and I cant find the Pod folder – zyonneo Aug 01 '18 at 09:09
@zyonneo I mean general project settings. In the question example I mean click on the "Pacs" project file on top, there you should see all settings. – Bastek Aug 01 '18 at 09:12
@Bastek I found out the Linke Frameworks and Librabries but no luck.There is no libPods.a or Pods_Sport.framework – zyonneo Aug 01 '18 at 09:16

Actually issue is related to dependency management for xcode project. You can refer below answer link for solving "linker issue" in xcode. That worked for me.

There are can be a few different cases;

Also, it would help to know all information from your print screen :)

Have you tried to clean your delivery data ?

Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Open "Location Menu" -> Open Folder With DeliveryData
Close your XCode;(even go to "Force Quit.." menu and close XCode there);
Clean trash bin;
And try build again.

Second case:

Open your target -> Build Settings -> Build Active Architecture Only-> set "No" option
Do the same with all your pods' target

I spent 2 days to find the real culprit. It turns out that I tried to run the "Project" instead of running the "Workspace". How this will help others!

I had this issue. In my case it was a react-native app added Firebase Analytics. As of July 2018, all apps must be built with iOS 11 per Apple: developer.apple.com/ios/submit/ Once I went to my General tab and scrolled down to Deployment Info / Deployment Target and changed it from 10.x which is what I was targeting, to 11.x - the app built/archived and I was able to submit. – bo_ Jul 31 '18 at 01:26

First, you need to check your Xcode version and than check pod version which you installed. If your Xcode version under 9.0 then you should reinstall pod with but old version not latest. It will work.

In my case, I plugged out my real device but in the simulator still it looks Generic iOS device. So I changed it with some simulator and it is fixed.

Same issues here. I had not made any changes other than adding some icons to the project. After a few hours of clicking around, I clicked on the pods project and changed the search path to Yes. That solved it for me. Screen shot of Xcode

This happened to my project because I used Admob in my Unity project and then build it for iOS. I did not note that Unity-iPhone.xcworkspace is created to open instead of Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj. I was keep opening Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj and it was giving the error. Opening the project with Unity-iPhone.xcworkspace fixed the problem for me.

If you selected Legacy Build System so change that because this has deprecated from xcode so use pod deintegrate pod install
