The target ... overrides the `OTHER_LDFLAGS` build setting defined in `Pods/Pods.xcconfig

I have incorporate SpatialIite into a Xcode project which uses a header file from Proj.4, just one header. Both are Xcode projects and have static targets.

I'm trying to migrate from git submodule to Cocoapods. Since static targets seems to be difficult to use with Cocoapods, I just want to have the project built in the usual way. I made podspec for Proj.4. After writing podfile for SpatialLite I got the warnings:

[!] The target `SpatialiteIOS [Debug]` overrides the `OTHER_LDFLAGS` build setting defined in `Pods/Pods.xcconfig'.
    - Use the `$(inherited)` flag, or
    - Remove the build settings from the target.

[!] The target `SpatialiteIOS [Debug]` overrides the `HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS` build setting defined in `Pods/Pods.xcconfig'.
    - Use the `$(inherited)` flag, or
    - Remove the build settings from the target.

[!] The target `SpatialiteIOS [Debug - Release]` overrides the `OTHER_LDFLAGS` build setting defined in `Pods/Pods.xcconfig'.
    - Use the `$(inherited)` flag, or
    - Remove the build settings from the target.

[!] The target `SpatialiteIOS [Debug - Release]` overrides the `HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS` build setting defined in `Pods/Pods.xcconfig'.
    - Use the `$(inherited)` flag, or
    - Remove the build settings from the target.

I read this issue but I'm pretty clueless to what the warnings mean and what can I do to fix it.

Additionally problem, when I open the workspace as well as opening SpatiaLite project alone, both are targeted to Mac OSX 64, when it is suppose to be an iOS project. My podfile does say "platform :ios".

This definitely works most of the time:

Go to your target Build Settings -> Other linker flags -> double click . Add $(inherited) to a new line.

If you have problem with "...target overrides the GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS build setting defined in..." then you must add $(inherited) to your target Build Settings -> Preprocessor Macros
