The target overrides the OTHER LDFLAGS build setting defined in Pods Pods xcconfig

Question

I have incorporate SpatialIite into a Xcode project which uses a header file from Proj 4  just one header  Both are Xcode projects and have static targets   I m trying to migrate from git submodule to Cocoapods  Since static targets seems to be difficult to use with Cocoapods  I just want to have the project built in the usual way  I made podspec for Proj 4  After writing podfile for SpatialLite I got the warnings       The target  SpatialiteIOS  Debug   overrides the  OTHER LDFLAGS  build setting defined in  Pods Pods xcconfig       - Use the    inherited   flag  or     - Remove the build settings from the target       The target  SpatialiteIOS  Debug   overrides the  HEADER SEARCH PATHS  build setting defined in  Pods Pods xcconfig       - Use the    inherited   flag  or     - Remove the build settings from the target       The target  SpatialiteIOS  Debug - Release   overrides the  OTHER LDFLAGS  build setting defined in  Pods Pods xcconfig       - Use the    inherited   flag  or     - Remove the build settings from the target       The target  SpatialiteIOS  Debug - Release   overrides the  HEADER SEARCH PATHS  build setting defined in  Pods Pods xcconfig       - Use the    inherited   flag  or     - Remove the build settings from the target    I read this issue but I m pretty clueless to what the warnings mean and what can I do to fix it   Additionally problem  when I open the workspace as well as opening SpatiaLite project alone  both are targeted to Mac OSX 64  when it is suppose to be an iOS project  My podfile does say  platform  ios

Just had a similar issue when I ran pod install  I saw the following warnings errors  related to CLANG CXX LIBRARY    The Error Warning from Cocoapods      The  Project  Debug   target overrides the  CLANG CXX LIBRARY  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  Project  Release   target overrides the  CLANG CXX LIBRARY  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    The Fix   Select your Project so you can see the Build Settings  Select your Target  AppName under Targets  Find C   Standard Library  It will probably be in BOLD - This means it s overridden   Select the Line  So it s highlighted Blue   and press     DELETE  Command   Backspace    The line should not be bolded anymore and if you run pod install the warnings errors should have disappeared     Visual Aid

This definitely works most of the time   Go to your target Build Settings -  Other linker flags -  double click   Add   inherited  to a new line   If you have problem with     target overrides the GCC PREPROCESSOR DEFINITIONS build setting defined in     then you must add   inherited  to your target Build Settings -  Preprocessor Macros

For me the problem was with my targets tests  I already had the   inherited  flag in my main app target   I added it to MyAppTests Other Linker flags  After that when I ran pod install the warning message was gone

There is a conflict between your build settings and the default build settings that Cocoapods wants  To see the Cocoapods build settings  view the  xcconfig file s  in Pods Target Support Files Pods-  PROJECTNAME   in your project  For me this file contains   GCC PREPROCESSOR DEFINITIONS     inherited  COCOAPODS 1 HEADER SEARCH PATHS      PODS ROOT  Headers     PODS ROOT  Headers Commando  OTHER LDFLAGS   -ObjC -framework Foundation -framework QuartzCore -framework UIKit PODS ROOT     SRCROOT  Pods   If you are happy with the Cocoapods settings  then go to Build Settings for your project  find the appropriate setting and hit the Delete key  This will use the setting from Cocoapods   On the other hand  if you have a custom setting that you need to use  then add   inherited  to that setting

I ve seen these 3 errors for pod command in terminal  pod install          The MY APP  Debug Release  target overrides the   HEADER SEARCH PATHS           The MY APP  Debug Release  target   overrides the OTHER LDFLAGS           The MY APP  Debug Release  target   overrides the GCC PREPROCESSOR DEFINITIONS       All these 3 errors would be gone by adding   inherited  to   Header Search Paths  Other Linker Flags Preprocessor Macros   in Project -  Target -  Build Settings  And now the command would run without giving any errors  pod install

This happens to me every time I add a pod to the podfile  I constantly try and find the problem but I just go round in circles again and again  The error messages range  however the way to fix it is the same every time  Comment out    ALL of the pods in the podfile and run pod install in terminal  Then    Uncomment out all of the pods in the podfile and run pod install again  This has worked for me every single time

When I added the   inherited  flag to the file in question  in this case it was LIBRARY SEARCH PATHS  it led to another error Undefined symbols for architecture arm64   quot  swift getTypeByMangledNameInContextInMetadataState Changing the following worked and I was able to build   gt LIBRARY SEARCH PATHS         quot   quot   TOOLCHAIN DIR  usr lib swift   PLATFORM NAME   quot  quot   -   quot   quot   TOOLCHAIN DIR  usr lib swift-5 0   PLATFORM NAME   quot  quot    lt --- Change this        quot   quot   TOOLCHAIN DIR  usr lib swift-5 2   PLATFORM NAME   quot  quot    lt --- to this     quot   quot   inherited   quot  quot    gt
