I'm setting up a new project, using CocoaPods and a couple of libraries (TestFlight, OCMock, AFNetworking, et al). While CocoaPods may not work well with private repos among public repos, I find it quite useful, especially if someone else wants to join my project quickly.
The biggest pain points I had were linking, which means unless I know in advance that linkers need to be forced for each individual library, I'll get some obtuse error, like:
ld: file not found: -ObjC
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
What that really means is I needed to update the flag in my specific project to -all_load.
Know how to do that? I didn't originally, but finally figured it out. Under the specific project I'm targeting (my tests in this case), in Build Settings -> Linking, I look for the "Other Linker Flags" and make 1 teensy change:
remove '-force_load'
add '-all_load'
That's it!
Oh, and if you're referencing any old OCMock tutorials, please don't use SenTestingKit.framework. You don't even need a header file for test. Just use the following inside your main class:
Now OCMock works great and my code works. Now to write some tests!
