How to resolve symbol name conflict in a Cocoa touch framework

Question

I developed a Cocoa touch framework and am having problems with third party static framework classes which are embedded inside of it.

The problem is symbol collision

Answer 1

CocoaPods can help you to resolve the problem with duplicate symbols.
Below I provided detailed explanations for how to make it happen:

Definitions
Let's make some definitions for simpler explanations:
MyFramework - framework that you are developing.
MyApplication - application that uses MyFramework.
OtherFramework - third-party framework that is used in MyFramework and MyApplication.

Problem
As I understand the problem is that Xcode fails to build with "duplicated symbols" error in OtherFramework.

Solution
Here are conditions that you need satisfy to fix that problem:

1) MyFramework has to refer to OtherFramework by CocoaPods:

// MyFramework Podfile
use_frameworks!
pod "OtherFramework"

2) MyApplication has to refer to OtherFramework by CocoaPods:

// MyApplication Podfile
use_frameworks!
pod "OtherFramework"

3) MyApplication can use any mechanism to refer to MyFramework (by CocoaPods or by Drag&Drop framework to project).

4) OtherFramework has to be built with CocoaPods.
If it's not built with CocoaPods yet, you can make it yourself.
For this goal you need to create OtherFramework.podspec and optionally submit it to CocoaPods private repository. It doesn't matter if you have source files or just OtherFramework.framework bundle. More details for building CocoaPod here.
