xCode: Library not found - lPods-Bolts - Exit Code 1

Question

Hi I\'m having this issue:

ld: library not found for -lPods-Bolts

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see in

Answer 1

My problem was that I changed the name of the project, so I reinstalled pods and in "Link Binary With Libraries" I had to delete "libPods-(old_pods_name).a" and also "Bolts.framework" and "Restkit.framework". Then reinstalled pods That worked for me!!!

Answer 2

I resolved this problem, by switching scheme to Pods-xxx, and build it first. Then, switch back to original project, and build it.

Let Pods-xxx build the necessary xxx.a first, resolve the dependency problem.

Switch scheme

On the toolbar, select

Product -> Scheme -> (Pods-xxx or original target)

Answer 3

Typically this can happen sometimes when one of your pod dependencies is accidentally added to the Build Phases pane under "Link Binary With Libraries" of your Targets settings.

Removing the library ".a" file from the Build Phase should do the trick.
