Cocopod | podspec adds GoogleAnalytics as a dependency

Question

I am trying to add GoogleAnalytics as a dependency in my podspec as follows:

s.dependency "GoogleAnalytics"

Of course I get:

The target "Pods - ****" has transitive dependencies that include static binaries: (**** / Pods / GoogleAnalytics / Libraries / libGoogleAnalytics.a)

Since Google is not going to provide a dynamic version of its module, I am trying to add it by adding the source_files / public_header_files / vendored_frameworks to podspec:

s.subspec 'GoogleAnalytics' do |sp|
  sp.source_files =
    'Pods/Google/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/Google/Headers/ModuleHeaders/*.h',
    'Pods/FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/frameworks/FirebaseAnalytics.framework/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/FirebaseInstanceID/Sources/*.h',
    'Pods/FirebaseInstanceID/Frameworks/frameworks/FirebaseInstanceID.framework/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleInterchangeUtilities/Frameworks/frameworks/GoogleInterchangeUtilities.framework/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleSymbolUtilities/Frameworks/frameworks/GoogleSymbolUtilities.framework/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleToolboxForMac/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleToolboxForMac/Foundation/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleToolboxForMac/Foundation/*.m',
    'Pods/GoogleAnalytics/Libraries/*.a',
    'Pods/GoogleAnalytics/Sources/*.h'

  sp.ios.public_header_files  =
    'Pods/Google/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/Google/Headers/ModuleHeaders/*.h',
    'Pods/FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/frameworks/FirebaseAnalytics.framework/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/FirebaseInstanceID/Source/*.h',
    'Pods/FirebaseInstanceID/Frameworks/frameworks/FirebaseInstanceID.framework/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleInterchangeUtilities/Frameworks/frameworks/GoogleInterchangeUtilities.framework/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleSymbolUtilities/Frameworks/frameworks/GoogleSymbolUtilities.framework/Headers/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleToolboxForMac/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleToolboxForMac/Foundation/*.h',
    'Pods/GoogleAnalytics/Sources/*.h'

  sp.ios.vendored_frameworks =
    'Pods/Google/Frameworks/GGLAnalytics.framework',
    'Pods/Google/Frameworks/GGLCore.framework',
    'Pods/FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/frameworks/FirebaseAnalytics.framework',
    'Pods/FirebaseCore/Frameworks/frameworks/FirebaseCore.framework',
    'Pods/FirebaseInstanceID/Frameworks/frameworks/FirebaseInstanceID.framework',
    'Pods/GoogleInterchangeUtilities/Frameworks/frameworks/GoogleInterchangeUtilities.framework',
    'Pods/GoogleSymbolUtilities/Frameworks/frameworks/GoogleSymbolUtilities.framework'
end

In my project, I get something like this:

pod "MyPod"

I have this in my header:

#import <GGLCore/GGLCore.h>
#import <GGLAnalytics/GGLAnalytics.h>
#import "GAI.h"
#import "GAIDictionaryBuilder.h"
#import "GAIEcommerceFields.h"
#import "GAIEcommerceProduct.h"
#import "GAIEcommerceProductAction.h"
#import "GAIEcommercePromotion.h"
#import "GAIFields.h"
#import "GAILogger.h"
#import "GAITrackedViewController.h"
#import "GAITracker.h"

I am trying to do this in AppDelegate:

// Configure tracker from GoogleService-Info.plist.
    var configureError:NSError?
    GGLContext.sharedInstance().configureWithError(&configureError)
    assert(configureError == nil, "Error configuring Google services: \(configureError)")

        let gai = GAI.sharedInstance()
        gai?.trackUncaughtExceptions = true  // report uncaught exceptions
        gai?.logger.logLevel = GAILogLevel.verbose  // remove before app release

I still get the following error:

"_ OBJC_CLASS _ $_ GAI", :       objc-class-ref AppDelegate.o ld: (-) x86_64 clang: : 1 ( -v )

- ? ?

libGoogleAnalytics.a .

Target- > Build Phases- > Link Binary , PathToGoogleAnalyticsFolder/GoogleAnalytics/Libraries/

podspec

s.dependency "GoogleAnalytics"
s.libraries = 'GoogleAnalytics',(any other libraries)
s.pod_target_xcconfig = { 'LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS' => '$(SRCROOT)/GoogleAnalytics/Libraries/' }
