I'm have a great issue with our private podspec, all worked fine until we updated to cocoapods 0.35.
The spec is not very complex, but is depended on the GoogleAnalytics-iOS-SDK
This is our pod spec:
{
"name": "RKTagManager",
"version": "0.0.1",
"summary": "Google TagManager wrapper.",
"license": {
"type" : "Closed Source",
"text" : "This library is as is, not warrenty of any kind."
}
"platforms": {
"ios": "5.1.1"
},
"requires_arc" : true,
"source": {
"hg": "<snip",
"revision" : "RKTagManager-0.0.1"
},
"dependencies": {
"GoogleAnalytics-iOS-SDK": []
},
"source_files": [
"Source/RKTagManager/*.{h,m}"
]
}
When I try to validate it the compiling failed with the following message:

I just don't understand why it can not find the TAGManager calls any more.
I'm using Xcode 6.2 and the the RKTagManager is ment for iOS.
The solution seem to be to force CocoaPods to build the pod spec with as a library. Since 0.36 the pods are build a framework and no loner as framework.
Use the --use-libraries to compile to pod spec as a library instant of a framework.
You can do this like:
pod repo push OIPods RKTagManager.podspec.json --use-libraries
