Possible solutions:

2. Clean and fresh install pods again

Updating CocoaPods

Open terminal and type:

$ sudo gem update cocoapods

Reinstall Pods

Step 1

Remove all the pods from your project (tricky part):

Manually

1. Remove all Pods records on Build Phases of your project (Marked Red)

2. Remove libPods.a under Frameworks folder

3. Now head to project directory and remove Podfile.lock*, **Pods folder and Workspace (Remove from Trash too).

Automatically using CocoaPods De-Integrate

Install

$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods-deintegrate

Run

$ pod deintegrate

Step 2

Here we are going through at installing the Pods again

Change your location your directory

$ cd yourprojectdirectory

Edit podfile by adding lines you need to it

$ open -a Xcode podfile 

or

$ nano podfile

FINALLY install the pod again

$ pod install

Hope this helps
