Answer 1

In a project with multiple targets I had the same issue after changing the Scheme and App name and tried to update pods. The issue was caused because of multiple entries in Build Phases -> Link Binary with Libraries where both the previous .a library and the current one was listed, while the previous one was not existing anymore. Removing the library from there cleared the problem.
