Cocoapod library issue: DTCoreText

I posed a question earlier about this problem but I've since cleaned the project and restarted from scratch.

Im trying to use DTCoreText

  1. My podfile:
platform :iOS
pod 'DTCoreText'

^quote since for some reason editor wouldn't let me just put code there.

  1. Other Linker Flags: -OjbC -all_load

  2. Linked Frameworks

  3. Project

I get a long list of errors:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

This is my first attempt at using Cocoapod, I'm probably making a noob mistake here

If I remove DTFoundation.a and DTCoreText.a from linked frameworks the project runs, but I get the following error:

-[NSConcreteMutableAttributedString initWithHTMLData:documentAttributes:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

Using their sample code:

#import "DTCoreText.h"

NSString *html = @"<p>Some Text</p>";
NSData *data = [html dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSAttributedString *attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithHTMLData:data
                                                           documentAttributes:NULL];
NSLog(@"%@", attrString);

When I updated with the podfile Jon Suggested and removed old configs/linker flags I get this error:

[!] The `**** [Debug]` target overrides the `OTHER_LDFLAGS` 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.

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

How do I reset these? or is there a way to tell it to overwrite it regardless?

Solution

  • "Works on my machine."™

    Are you using the latest CocoaPods? 0.37.1 is the latest and you should use it unless you have a specific reason not to.

    This Podfile worked fine for me (generated by running pod init in the project directory):

    platform :ios, '8.3'

target 'DTCoreTextTest' do
  pod 'DTCoreText'
end

target 'DTCoreTextTestTests' do

end

    With no need to add the extra -ObjC or -all_load flags.
