Running tns run ios --clean with this configuration produces a working build, however any changes made to the code cause the Podfile to be rebuilt in a way that causes a recursion error.

Here is my Podfile (from platforms/ios) after the initial build:

use_frameworks!

target "myproject" do
# Begin Podfile - /Users/vincecooley/Projects/myproject/node_modules/nativescript-bottombar/platforms/ios/Podfile 
 use_frameworks!
pod 'MiniTabBar', :git => 'https://github.com/rhanb/MiniTabBar.git'
def post_install1 (installer)
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '3.0'
        end
    end
end 
 # End Podfile

def post_install2 (installer)
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '3.0'
    end
  end
end 
 # End Podfile 
# Begin Podfile - /Users/vincecooley/Projects/myproject/node_modules/nativescript-iqkeyboardmanager/platforms/ios/Podfile

        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = "NO"
        end
    end
end

 # End Podfile 

end
post_install do |installer|
  post_install1 installer
  post_install2 installer
  post_install3 installer
end

And here is my Podfile after making a change within my application’s code. The problem occurs in the post_install1 method, which recursively calls itself, but the entire Podfile is mangled:

use_frameworks!

target "myproject" do
# Begin Podfile - /Users/vincecooley/Projects/myproject/node_modules/nativescript-bottombar/platforms/ios/Podfile

    end
end

Hey @rosen-vladimirov,

I can confirm nativescript@next is working for the project @NathanWalker has been referring too. Both with and without --syncAllFiles.

Thanks again. 😄

Hey @vcooley , the issue is in CLI when regenerating the Podfile and I’m working on a fix. We’ll do our best to release it in one of the next patches release of NativeScript CLI.
