CocoaPods file reference is a member of multiple g

问题:

I have an app with a share extension. My app depends on CocoaLumberjack/Default, and my share extension depends on CocoaLumberjack/Core. When I build with use_frameworks!, I get the following error:

$ rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock; pod install

This is my Podfile:

workspace 'MyWorkspace'
xcodeproj 'MyProject/MyProject.xcodeproj'

use_frameworks!

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

link_with 'MyProject', 'MyShare'

target :MyProject do
  pod 'CocoaLumberjack', '~> 2.0.1'
end

target :MyShare do
  pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Core', '~> 2.0.1'
end

I was able to work around this problem by making both of my targets use the same CocoaLumberjack subspec. My working Podfile is below:

workspace 'MyWorkspace'
xcodeproj 'MyProject/MyProject.xcodeproj'

use_frameworks!

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

link_with 'MyProject', 'MyShare'

target :MyProject do
  pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Core', '~> 2.0.1'
end

target :MyShare do
  pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Core', '~> 2.0.1'
end

Why is this workaround necessary? What happens when I actually have different subspec dependencies between two targets?

EDIT

This looks related to CocoaPods Issue 4370. I posted my example project on github.

回答1:

This is a bug in Cocoapods -And probably it won't be fixed in a long while-

Running export COCOAPODS_DISABLE_DETERMINISTIC_UUIDS=YES on the Terminal seems to suppress the warnings for now.

EDIT Feb 2016:

In latest version of Cocoapods this has now been moved to the install section of the Podfile: install! 'cocoapods', :deterministic_uuids => false

It's caused by duplicate files in different directories. Sometimes Xcode might make mistake and duplicate files when you move files to another directory.

My solution to find these duplicate files,

1. copy error messages to a text file named such as duplicateUUIDs.txt
2. get sorted file names and output duplicated items

grep -E '[a-zA-Z+]+\.(h|m|swift)' -o duplicateUUIDs.txt | sort | uniq -d

3. find them in your pod source directory and delete unnecessary files.

Another method to find duplicate files

find . -path ./.git -prune -o -type f -exec basename {} + | sort | uniq -d

where -path ./.git -prune -o means to exclude .git directory when finding

I encountered this error when adding an application extension.

I fixed it by repeating the platform :ios, '7.0' line present in my application target to my new target as well.

Making sure the two targets use the same platform solved the issue for me.

Problem fixed for me by following steps: (I have also done the changes as per @ale0xB suggested)

1. Clean the project
2. Close the Xcode
3. Delete derived data
4. If you have already installed the POD, kindly delete the “.xcworkspace” & “Podfile.lock” files
5. Install pod again
6. Open “.xcworkspace” and Run
