AFNetworking doesn't build with cocoapods on xcode8

Question

I'm on cocoapods 1.1.1, and trying to install this file with pod install:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '9.0'
target "Pictabite" do
    pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 3.1'
    pod 'SDWebImage', '~>3.8'
    pod 'LLSimpleCamera', '~> 5.0'
end

However the project doesn't build after I add AFNetworking. I'm getting this error on Xcode:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_AFNetworkReachabilityManager", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in AppDelegate.o

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang-real: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Not specifying cocoapods versions, and using use_frameworks! yields:

Installing AFNetworking (3.0.4)
Installing LLSimpleCamera (4.2.0)
Installing SDWebImage (3.7.5)

• pod --version: 1.1.1
• xcodebuild -version: Xcode 8.2.1, Build version 8C1002

Your Podfile could look like this:

platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'Pictabite' do
    use_frameworks!

    pod 'AFNetworking'
    pod 'SDWebImage'
    pod 'LLSimpleCamera'
end

Swift 3 Compilation example

import AFNetworking
...
let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
let manager = AFURLSessionManager(sessionConfiguration: configuration)

Objective-C Compilation example

#import "AFNetworking.h"
...
NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration =
   [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
AFURLSessionManager *manager =
   [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:configuration];
