Circular dependency Issuse on cocoapods version (0.36.0) complete solution (non-derating)

Previous articles, which had been mentioned in the Cocoapods dependency management version if more than 0.34.4, such as 0.35, 0.36.0 and other versions. Perform a "pod install" or "Pod Update" and the xmppframework will have a cyclic dependency problem.

there is a circular dependency between Xmppframework/core and Xmppframework/authentication'

The temporary solution to the problem is to reduce the version cocoapods to 0.34.4.

However, as the Cocoapods version continues to escalate, this problem has not been fundamentally addressed. Share this solution here:

Please follow the steps below to

1. Upgrade the Cocoapods version to the latest version. When writing this article, the latest version is 0.36.0

Command line: sudo gem install cocoapods

2. The podfile remains unchanged.

Pod ' xmppframework '

3. Execute the command line to update all libraries in the native ~/.cocoapods directory

Pod Setup

4. Foreign friends have provided a modified xmppframework Podspec file. This file is not the same in Xmppframework's official GitHub. The latest version of Xmppframewokr 3.6.4 is currently available.

This modified version of the file is key, access the following link, and download the file.

Https://github.com/ChatSecure/XMPPFramework/blob/f1364d1dd9bc8d0843b79ee8abe261154473d8a0/XMPPFramework.podspec.json

5. Locate the file with the following path on the machine. Using the Finder's go to Folder

~/.cocoapods/repos/master/specs/xmppframework/3.6.4/xmppframework.podspec.json

6. Download the 4th step of the file, covering the path of 5 steps.

7. Then perform pod install or pod update

8. In this event, the loop-dependent error does not occur again. Pod also works smoothly. But it's not over yet. The following are more important steps

9. Build workspace will find that build failed. Error is XMPPFramework.h file

#ifdef Have_xmpp_subspec_systeminputactivitymonitor
#import "XMPPSystemInputActivityMonitor.h"
#endif

10. At this point you need to get from the official GitHub,

Https://github.com/robbiehanson/XMPPFramework/tree/master/Extensions/SystemInputActivityMonitor

Two files found:

XMPPSystemInputActivityMonitor.h

Xmppsysteminputactivitymonitor.m

and copied to the project folder in the following path, if there is no folder Systeminputactivitymonitor, you need to manually create Systeminputactivitymonitor

/pods/xmppframework/extensions/systeminputactivitymonitor/xmppsysteminputactivitymonitor.h

11. After completing the above work, re-build the workspace, you will find that everything is OK

The above plan is not perfect, but also considered the latest version of Cocoapods. As for steps 9th and 10th. You can also not do it, just in this case, you need to comment the corresponding import in the Xmppframework.h file. The weight of the light, can only be measured by themselves.
