Cocoapods issue with use_frameworks

[jeffbailey]

We need to specify "use_frameworks!" in our podfile since we have swift pods. However we get the following error with cocoapods 1.0.1 when including the Google Maps Utils pod:

use_frameworks!

pod 'GoogleMaps' pod 'Google-Maps-iOS-Utils'

ERROR: target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries: (/Users/jeff/Documents/Clients/IGS/Projects/Choice360Connect/Pods/GoogleMaps/Subspecs/Base/Frameworks/GoogleMapsBase.framework, /Users/jeff/Documents/Clients/IGS/Projects/Choice360Connect/Pods/GoogleMaps/Subspecs/Maps/Frameworks/GoogleMapsCore.framework, and /Users/jeff/Documents/Clients/IGS/Projects/Choice360Connect/Pods/GoogleMaps/Subspecs/Maps/Frameworks/GoogleMaps.framework)

[domesticmouse]

Google Maps SDK for iOS is statically built, and will continue to be so until we drop support for iOS 7.

[mountainvat]

You could use the workaround as mentioned in https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-ios-utils/issues/17 by manually copying the google-maps-ios-utils classes into your project.

[jeffbailey]

Manually copying the files works as expected. Thanks for verifying this is the only solution until iOS 7 is dropped.

[mountainvat]

It's great to hear! I am just curious did you leave pod 'GoogleMaps' inside your Podfile and just copy the google-maps-ios-utils files?

[jeffbailey]

Yes, I integrated Google Maps as a pod and just copied in the google-maps-iso-utils files.

[filipandrei87]

Any news on this issue? I'm encountering the same in a Swift project. Not using "!use_frameworks" is not an option as multiple pods are built for Swift.

[nmDejamobile]

marking it as closed is probably not the right way to have users on your side... keep it open and close it once you will have really solved the problem IMO...

[mountainvat]

Unfortunately we do not have a concrete date for dropping iOS7 support that I can give you so this workaround is the best we can think of at the moment.

[nmDejamobile]

@jeffbailey do you mean that you copied files from google-maps-iso-utils/src folder into the pod folder after you used pod install ? Can you show me the final folder tree that you obtained ? Thanks !

[jeffbailey]

@nmDejamobile - No, you don't copy the files to you pod folder. Simply copy them to your project.

[nmDejamobile]

@jeffbailey ok, that's done, I also added the main class to the bridging header file. But I still have errors at build time:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_GMUClusterManager", referenced from:
      type metadata accessor for __ObjC.GMUClusterManager in ViewController.o

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Does it mean that these google maps utils can't be built to be use on simulator ? Do I need to have a real device to work with it ?

[jeffbailey]

It works fine in the simulator. I assume you have these classes added to the appropriate target. I can't think of anything special that needs to be done.

[nmDejamobile]

@jeffbailey I added all files manually to the build phase "compile sources" of the target and now it works. It's an ugly hack imo... I think I'll use mapkit and FBAnnotationClusteringSwift. Even if it's not so advanced, at least it doesn't break my full cocoapod project strategy... I hope google maps ios utils will be updated soon or at least forked for ios 8+ targets.

[KellyBennett]

@domesticmouse iOS 7 is < 3% of the iOS install base (souce: https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/). What is the hang up on making this library friendly with Swift cocoapods?? This work around is incredibly inconvenient. Simply moving the google-maps-ios-utils files to my project does NOT work, as @nmDejamobile correctly pointed out. It seems like this library should either be available outside of cocoapods, or it should be updated to be use_frameworks! friendly.

[domesticmouse]

@KellyBennett please see @mountainvat's comment above regarding Google Maps SDK for iOS support for iOS 7. When we stop supporting iOS 7 then the Google Maps SDK for iOS can be built in such a way that it allows the project to use use_frameworks!

[mdabrarniyazi]

@nmDejamobile Hi, I copied files too and getting exactly same error. Did you solve it?

[ampilogov]

Do you start support use_frameworks?

[ampilogov]

I getting exactly same error. Did you solve it?

[Jianhaos]

I solved the issue by creating a development pod wrapper for GoogleMaps:

Google-Maps-iOS-SDK-for-Business.zip

We use GoogleMapsM4B but it should be the same idea for regular GoogleMaps. The zip file contains the .podspec file and the dummy class files, you need to copy the real frameworks from Google to make sure your folder looks like this:

[tarikstafford]

@mountainvat Hey, appreciate all of your work. The instructions were a bit difficult to follow especially since I have never worked with bridging headers before. I needed to manually point to the bridging header file under 'build settings' / 'swift compiler - general' / 'objc bridging header' where i simply entered the file path. I am not sure why it didn't do this automatically, and perhaps its very obvious but this had me bashing my head against a wall for hours haha. Look forward to you guys releasing a dynamic version! :)

[jschwendt]

Given how much iOS 11 has been adopted at this point, I think it's safe to move beyond iOS 7 support. I feel like iOS 9 is a good support floor at this point.

[ashleyhenderson]

Any updates at all?

[farshadmb]

please review and send me feedback #183 @domesticmouse @jeffbailey @Hendies567

[renetik]

So we don't have to use_frameworks! in cocoapods anymore... I switched to static libraries with use_modular_headers! enabled and this library is working well like that. I had it until now copied directly to sources.

[ricsantos]

Unfortunately use_modular_headers! isn't a solution that will work for everyone (eg me!).

@domesticmouse I noticed that GoogleMaps for iOS now targets iOS 9.0 - does this mean it can now be built as a framework?

[renetik]

yes I had issues with modular headers too... copied sources back to my codebase... its ok for now not ideal but ok...

[sneps85]

Any updates on this?

[zyonnetworks]

Any ETA on updating to Framework?

[aha-swipe]

This issue is open since 2016. We now have iOS 13, iOS 7 is long gone and history but this has still not been solved.

I must ask, is this lib abandonware or still maintained by Google?

using this fork for now -- https://github.com/aterite/google-maps-ios-utils.git

[arriolac]

This issue is resolved in branch 3.x. The actual fixed version 3.0.0 will be released to CocoaPods soon.

In the meantime, if you want to test this you can include the following in your Podfile.

target 'YOUR_APP' do
  pod 'GoogleMaps', '~> 3.7.0'
  pod 'Google-Maps-iOS-Utils', git: 'git@github.com:googlemaps/google-maps-ios-utils.git', :branch => '3.x'
end

[arriolac]

🎉 v3.0.0 has been published to CocoaPods.

e.g.

target 'YOUR_APP' do
  pod 'Google-Maps-iOS-Utils', '~> 3.0.0'
end

Note that it is a major release so there are some breaking changes (refer to the changelog).

[n3rd253]

@arriolac i'm trying to use this and https://github.com/react-native-maps/react-native-maps in concert with https://github.com/prscX/react-native-app-tour (this is the assembly which requires use_frameworks! :linkage => :static. I have manually updated the podspec in my local of react-native-maps to use GoogleMaps 3.7.0 and Google-Maps-iOS-Utils ~> 3.0.0 as you've prescribed.

I'm still experiencing the following:
