'Swift is not supported for static libraries' when creating a CocoaPod

Question

I created a skeleton pod with pod lib create and I am writing my code into the Development pods > MyPod > Classes group.

I am getting the error Swift is not supported for static libraries.

I haven't really edited any of the other files besides replaced the ReplaceMe.swift and added some others.

Here's the podfile:

use_frameworks!

target 'MyPod_Example' do
  pod 'MyPod', :path => '../'

  target 'MyPod_Tests' do
    inherit! :search_paths


  end
end

What am I missing?

Turns out I should have read the tutorial better, it clearly says this:

[!] Note: Due to a Development Pods implementation detail, when you add new/existing files to Pod/Classes or Pod/Assets or update your podspec, you should run pod install or pod update.

It helped with the very uninformative error.

while doing pod install or pod update make sure you are on correct path.

Update my pod but deleted my files in Development Pods folder after update pod.

I have run into a similar issue before. It is an issue with use_frameworks! that breaks for pods that have dependencies with static libraries.

Only solution for this that i found, after searching for quite a long while, was to remove all pods that use static binaries and try and find alternatives with dynamic frameworks.
