Developing CocoaPods - requires cleaning (CMD+K) to see the changes

I develop a library distributed with CocoaPods. The library has an example project which I also use to develop and test new features.

The workflow is as follows:

  1. Edit the source file
  2. Run the project
  3. See the changes

The problem is that I cannot see any changes unless I clean the project first (cmd+K)

So, to make it work, I have to resort to the following workaround:

  1. Edit the source file
  2. Clean the project (CMD+K)
  3. Run the project
  4. See the changes

How could I avoid doing step 2 all the time, as it slows down my development speed significantly?

I haven't faced this issue with older versions of Xcode or CocoaPods, however, I don't remember which ones specifically.

Library I'm developing

CalendarKit.podspec file

Demo project structure with the Podfile

Solution

  • It's a known issue with Xcode "new build system".

    Switching to the "Legacy Build System" resolves the issue.
