I'll try to recreate the issue in a project that I can share with you. What's odd is that this worked the other day... Not sure what pathname is attempting to implicitly be converted into a string, as the error doesn't say :-(

[ExoticObjects]

So, Rome is actually creating the frameworks - they end up in a 'build' folder in the same directory as the Podfile. Framework compilation succeeds. Something goes wrong after that...

This is happening when compiling a large project, and I can't recreate it in a simpler test case. Do the error messages tell you anything meaningful? I'm not sure how to proceed.

[ExoticObjects]

I was able to recreate this with a simple project and podspec.

Here's the project that contains the podfile: https://github.com/ExoticObjects/test_use_frameworks_2

and the local development pod that contains the podspec: https://github.com/ExoticObjects/test_pod_2

podspec:

Pod::Spec.new do |s| 

  s.name             = "test_pod_2"
  s.version          = "0.1.0"
  s.summary          = "A summary goes here" 
  s.description      = "Pod description. It's a pod"
  s.homepage         = "https://github.com/ExoticObjects/test_cocoapods_use_frameworks_2"
  s.license          = 'MIT'
  s.author           = { "Blah" => "[email protected]" }
  s.platform         = :ios, '9.0'
  s.source           = {:git => "https://github.com/ExoticObjects/test_cocoapods_use_frameworks_2.git"}
  s.requires_arc     = true
  s.source_files     = 'Pod/Classes/**/*'
  s.dependency 'STHTTPRequest', '1.0.2'
  s.dependency 'SDWebImage'
  s.dependency 'Socket.IO-Client-Swift', '5.3.1'
end

Podfile

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
plugin 'cocoapods-rome'

def common_pods_for_target
    pod 'test_pod_2', :path => '../test_pod_2'
end

target :test_use_frameworks_2 do
  common_pods_for_target
end

target :test_use_frameworks_2UITests do
  common_pods_for_target
end

[Pinwheelai]

I am facing the same error for pod install. Any update on this ??

[endocrimes]

@PinwheelAi could you please file a new issue with more details?

[jugutier]

Is this still an issue?
