Undefined symbols for architecture armv7 for Cocoapods libraries

Question

I stumbled upon a problem on a project that I need to work on. The project use Cocoapods for managing its libraries. I run pod install as usual to get started but xcode give me errors. I got Undefined symbols for architecture armv7 as you can see in the image below:

All this symbols are the libraries that I use with my project. Eg. AFNetworking, RNBlurModalView. I tried to remove all the Cocoapods related file from the project and running pod install again, but it still doesn't solved the problem.

What I have done so far:

• Clean the project and build again.
• Removing Cocoapods related files and running pod install again.
• Tried to add the class in Compile Sources in Project Target, but can't. The class is in Pods workspace.
• Set Build Active Architecture Only from YES to NO.

I also try the solutions from the same problem, but none of it is working for me.

If it helps, I'm using xCode6 and Cocoapods 0.34.4. The project valid architectures is armv7 and armv7s.

Update: When running pod install --verbose

    - Use the `$(inherited)` flag, or
    - Remove the build settings from the target.

Thanks in advance.

It seems like you don't have $(inherited) in OTHER LINKER FLAGS. Please post output of the pod install

Hi, I've just updated my question with parts of the logs which I think is relevant. Mind looking at it? – Mercie

as I wrote before, add $(inherited) in OTHER_LDFLAGS for all targets as a first line – Nightwear

The habit of ignoring warnings! Damn! – Waterford

I stumbled with the same problem I have added $(inherited) and its not working.. still showing that error above. but I can build with arm64 only.. any idea why this is still appearing? – Kneeland

may be some of your libraries are supplied as a prebuild binaries with arm64 arch only? – Nightwear

Your solution works just in one hit. You saved my time. Thanks a lot. – Discernible

Wow I went through all the steps in this trouble shooting guide (guides.cocoapods.org/using/troubleshooting.html), and still nothing. This though, WORKED! Thanks :) – Meetly

You may just need to clean the build folder (⌥⇧⌘K).
