library not found for -lPods-AFNetworking

Question

I am getting the following error when using AFNetworking:

\'\'library not found for -lPods-AFNetworking\'\'
\"linker co

Answer 1

I wanted to write an answer myself because two things together worked :

1. AS @Helium3 mentioned, I had to open the workspace rather than the project file in the file explorer(projectname.xcworkspace file)(I actually have 2 and only 1 seems to work!)

2. As @Muhammad Adnan mentioned in the comments, what worked was to install pod and update pod it solved the linker problems!!(Note: This should be done in the project directory,make sure cocoapods are installed first!!), in addition it gave me odd errors at first(after a second go),later it was alright!

Thank you guys!
