[iOS] use_framework!

I’m trying to install the flipper pod in a repository where swift pods are added to the project using the use_framework! option.

Unfortunately, this triggers an error that prevents the installation from completing successfully.

[!] The 'Pods-ProjectName' target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries: 
(/path/to/Pods/CocoaLibEvent/lib/libevent.a,
/path/to/Pods/CocoaLibEvent/lib/libevent_core.a, 
/path/to/Pods/CocoaLibEvent/lib/libevent_extra.a,
/path/to/Pods/CocoaLibEvent/lib/libevent_pthreads.a,
/path/to/Pods/OpenSSL-Static/lib-ios/libcrypto.a, and
/path/to/Pods/OpenSSL-Static/lib-ios/libssl.a)

I cannot remove that option for some reasons. The most important one is a bug in Cocoapods https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/7585

Since all the involved pods come from flipper, Is there something that we can do about it?

I tried the following

  $static_framework = ['FlipperKit', 'Flipper', 'Flipper-Folly',
    'CocoaAsyncSocket', 'ComponentKit', 'DoubleConversion',
    'glog', 'Flipper-PeerTalk', 'Flipper-RSocket', 'Yoga', 'YogaKit',
    'CocoaLibEvent', 'OpenSSL-Static', 'boost-for-react-native']

  pre_install do |installer|
    Pod::Installer::Xcode::TargetValidator.send(:define_method, :verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies) {}
    installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
      if $static_framework.include?(pod.name)
        pod.instance_variable_set(:@host_requires_frameworks, false)
        puts pod
      end
    end
  end

It successfully generated the project and even the sample app built.

CocoaPods version 1.6.1

Try it out and feel free to open the issue, if it didn’t work.

Ok after playing around some more I have included this code in my Podfile and this works -

$static_framework = ['FlipperKit', 'Flipper', 'Folly', 
    'CocoaAsyncSocket', 'ComponentKit', 'DoubleConversion', 
    'glog', 'PeerTalk', 'RSocket', 'Yoga', 'YogaKit', 
    'CocoaLibEvent', 'OpenSSL-Static', 'boost-for-react-native']

pre_install do |installer|
    installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
        if $static_framework.include?(pod.name)
            pod.host_requires_frameworks = false
        end
    end
end

This will cause Pods to build the pods in the array as static and the others dynamic frameworks
