Prevent transitive dependencies error using dynamic library

[mrcararia]

Hello,

I would like to migrate from HockeyApp to AppCenter.
I have developed my own cocoapods library using 'HockeySDK-Source' as transitive dependency of my framework. Trying to migrate to AppCenter, cocoapods install end with error:
"target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries:"

Is possible to deploy a dynamic version of this cocoapod?
This is necessary to create a private pod using frameworks, needed when there are swift classes in Xcode project.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, we have no plans to release a dynamic framework version of the App Center SDK.

However, based on a thread, some users had success by adding

pre_install do |installer|
	Pod::Installer::Xcode::TargetValidator.send(:define_method, :verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies) {}
end

to their Podfile. I am not sure if it will work for you, but it might be worth a try.

Edit: this thread may actually be more helpful.

@mrcararia did you get it working with @achocron suggestions?

@clpolet No, this not solve my problem. The issue occurs when I execute pod lib lint to test if the podspec and the resources to produce a private framework are ok. Lint operation failed with error:

[!] The 'Pods-<MyFrameworkName>' target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries: (<projectDir>/Pods/AppCenter/AppCenter-SDK-Apple/iOS/AppCenterAnalytics.framework, <projectDir>/Pods/AppCenter/AppCenter-SDK-Apple/iOS/AppCenter.framework, and <projectDir>/Pods/AppCenter/AppCenter-SDK-Apple/iOS/AppCenterCrashes.framework)

Sorry for the late reply. HockeyApp and AppCenter are both static fat frameworks, they both have a crash reporter (another static fat framework) as dependency. The difference is the possibility to build HockeyApp from source and that's what you were using. Basically AppCenter doesn't have an AppCenter-Source pod to pull the source instead of the binaries into your project. This is not in our road-map for the transition to AppCenter but we'll still keep the feature request open in case it find its way into our road map.

Any updates on that?

As we do not have plans to add support for this feature in the next year, I'm closing the issue.
