CocoaPods : cmd-line builds

Question

It seems that in cmd-line builds, Pods don't get built automatically. Even when invoking xcodebuild to reference the workspace that declares how projects link to each other.

Is there a way to fix this, besides manually opening the project in Xcode and building?

I don't have any problem with such configuration: CocoaPods 0.28.0 and Xcode5 (+ Command-Line Tools) here and building using the Command-Line quite often (especially for Continuous Integration) without having any problem.

Neither with the Apple's xcodebuild command, nor with xctool (see also this NSHipster's article) when building my personnal project using Travis-CI either, everything works fine;
At work we have plenty of Xcode workspaces created using CocoaPods / pod install and we use Jenkins-CI to run xcodebuild to build them and no problem either.

Maybe you need to check a bit more about your configuration? Which CocoaPods & Xcode version, Which Command-Line Tools (xcode-select --print-path?), How is you Xcode configured (maybe you changed some of Xcode's default settings that broke it somehow)?

Tell us more about your specific configuration and the error/warning messages you got, because there should not be any problem.

Also make sure you have an up-to-date version of CocoaPods (some stuff were fixed some versions ago regarding Xcode5 and the new arm64 architecture, that broke implicit dependency detection in some cases)

Thanks encouraging news. I'm on Xcode 5.0.2 and CocoaPods 0.28.0, so latest versions. . Our deployment target is 6.1, we use cmd-line builds for CI, running on Jenkins. . . I believe this issue has been logged in the AppCode tracker (which also uses xcodebuild). . I'll dig up those details ASAP.

@FullDecent I think you can force the Pods project to build first, from cmd-line.
