I also ran into this problem.
In addition to what Peter mentioned above, be sure to double-check to see if the correct Xcode project is selected in your file . This is because you can change the build settings of the wrong Xcode project. It was a stupid mistake, but it took quite a while before I realized this.
Usually pod install works automatically if there is only one .xcodeproj file in the directory. However, if you transfer your project to start using cocoapods from the old way to manually add framework / third-party projects to your Xcode project, it is possible that there will be several .xcodeproj files in your folder. Performing the above fix did not solve it for me because I was editing the wrong .xcodeproj file.
Go to the project directory, check the file named Podfile and make sure you specify xcodeproj :
After choosing the correct .xcodeproj in your subfile, go to Xcode and follow these steps:
- In the Project Navigator on the left, select your project.
- On the center screen, go to
Build Settings - Add filter for "Search Paths in Framework"
- Enter
$(inherited) as the value; it should automatically populate with data evaluating this expression
Below is an image of Xcode with version 7.2 (7C68).
