Clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Xcode 10, Xcode 10.1 Beta, Swift 4.2

The project was working fine until I add these Cocoapods below:

platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'XXXXAPPNAME' do

use_frameworks!

pod 'KVNProgress'
pod 'OneSignal'
pod 'IQKeyboardManager'
pod 'AKMaskField'

end

The result of pod installation:

[!] Please close any current Xcode sessions and use `APPNAME.xcworkspace` for this project from now on.

and then, of course, I run the project with APPNAME.xcworkspace file

But it gives an error:

I have googled it. I have read all questions/replies about the same topic in here StackOverflow. but I could not find a solution. I have removed derived Data also. It did not work.

Solution

There libraries are not updated for Swift 4.2. This issue comes for any library that is missing the version attribute(s.swift_version = '4.2') in .podspec file. Also .swift-version is deprecated so that also needs to be removed for any of the pod. Now, either you can open issues so the developers can update their libraries for Swift 4.2 or you can fork and make the changes yourself and then point your repo. in pods. Last option is to use Xcode 9.4.1 until libraries are not updated.
