what is the problem? because the project has more then 20 traget, they use post_install pattern and works fine, but it don't work for me.

my cocoapod version is 1.1.1, pls help.

here is the Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '7.0'

pod 'MMDrawerController', '~> 0.5.7'
pod 'ViewUtils'
pod 'CPAnimationSequence'
pod 'iCarousel'
pod 'BlocksKit', '~> 2.2.5'
pod 'AFNetworking'
pod 'MBProgressHUD', '~> 0.8'
pod 'NSString-UrlEncode'
pod 'INTULocationManager'
pod 'SDWebImage', '3.7.2'
pod 'Adjust', :git => 'https://github.com/adjust/ios_sdk.git', :tag => 'v3.4.0'
pod 'TARTT', :git => 'https://github.com/takondi/tartt-sdk-ios.git'
pod 'SIAlertView', '~> 1.3'
pod 'GoogleAppIndexing'
pod 'Gimbal'

post_install do |installer_representation|
    installer_representation.project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH'] = 'NO'
        end
    end
end

Answer 1

Your Podfile should contains information in which target you want to install the cocoapods. The post installer in your Podfile sets only ACTIVE_ARCH flag to NO in each target.

If you have more than 20 targets in your app(and some mess in current Podfile), maybe try to remove Podfile and Podfile.lock and then do pod init. It will make CococaPods gem create a valid Podfile for your app. Then paste the CocoaPods that your app using and paste the post installer instruction to the new Podfile and try to reinstall cocoapods using pod install.

Remember to place pod instructions between correct target.

Look at the CocoaPods site about Podfile.

So your Podfile should look like:

target 'YourTargetName' do

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '7.0'

pod 'MMDrawerController', '~> 0.5.7'
pod 'ViewUtils'
pod 'CPAnimationSequence'
pod 'iCarousel'
pod 'BlocksKit', '~> 2.2.5'
pod 'AFNetworking'
pod 'MBProgressHUD', '~> 0.8'
pod 'NSString-UrlEncode'
pod 'INTULocationManager'
pod 'SDWebImage', '3.7.2'
pod 'Adjust', :git => 'https://github.com/adjust/ios_sdk.git', :tag => 'v3.4.0'
pod 'TARTT', :git => 'https://github.com/takondi/tartt-sdk-ios.git'
pod 'SIAlertView', '~> 1.3'
pod 'GoogleAppIndexing'
pod 'Gimbal'

post_install do |installer_representation|
  installer_representation.project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH'] = 'NO'
    end
  end
end
end

Answer 2

Simply add your pod file in below block

target 'YourApp' do
  pod '*******', '~> 1.0'
end

Answer 3

It's a little weird, but the Gimbal SDK contains iCarousel so it might have problems with your podfile.
