Incorrect path for Pods.debug.xcconfig in Xcode?

mais-oui picture mais-oui · Nov 24, 2014 · Viewed 65.9k times · Source

so I used Venmo/Synx on my Xcode project with CocoaPods, and it completely screwed everything up.

I was able to fix the Manifest.lock and Podfile.lock errors, but now I am getting this error:

The file “Pods.debug.xcconfig” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file. (/Users/user/GitHub/xxxxxx/Pods/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods/Pods.debug.xcconfig)

As you can see, the path is incorrect, as there is no Pods/Pods directory (there is one extra pod).

How can I fix this? I have only added PODS_ROOT to the user-defined variable, as that fixed my Podfile and Manifest.lock files.

Any help would be much appreciated!


Edit:

After adding PODS_ROOT, I get this when running pod install.

[!] The `Project [Debug]` target overrides the `PODS_ROOT` build setting defined in `Pods/Target Support Files/Pods/Pods.debug.xcconfig'. This can lead to problems with the CocoaPods installation
    - Use the `$(inherited)` flag, or
    - Remove the build settings from the target.

I had the same problem in Xcode 6.1.1. I did the following to solve it:

  1. Set the configuration file setting* "None" for the Pods related target.
  2. Close the .xcworkspace.
  3. run pod install again
  4. now open and build your .xcworkspace

*The configuration file setting is found by selecting the project (not the target) and then the Info tab.
