"library not found for -lPods-TARGET-j2objc-shared" error for j2objc-gradle plugin

I have a simple shared project with a couple of Pojos

After running the gradle tasks:

./gradlew clean build j2objcXcode

and running pod install in my iOS app I get the below error when running the app in xcode:

ld: library not found for -lPods-iosApp-j2objc-shared

Am I missing a step here?

My machine details:

OSX 10.10.4 java version "1.8.0_40" gradle 2.4 xcode 6.4 CocoaPods 0.34.2

Solution

  • You must open the MyProject.xcworkspace instead of the MyProject.xcodeproj file.

    This is a requirement when working with CocoaPods, which the j2objc-plugin uses to configure Xcode. See answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28111728/1509221. If you mistakenly open the xcodeproj, then it will be missing the required "Pods" project. This is a screenshot you should see when opening the xcworkspace:
