I have an app that is using ShareKit with the Twitter Sharer. CocoaPods is adding the Twitter framework to the OTHER_LDFLAGS as follows:
OTHER_LDFLAGS = -ObjC -all_load -framework Twitter

The problem appears when I am trying to release the app, with iOS 4.2 deployment target.

When run in iOS 4.x the Twitter framework can not be loaded, and therefore the app closes during the starting process. To fix it, we need to mark frameworks as optional, but I don't know how to do this with the OTHER_LDFLAGS (is it possible? I couldn't find anything similar googling).

And the corresponding Device Log:

Hardware Model:      iPhone2,1
Code Type:       ARM (Native)

Dyld Error Message:

Any idea how to fix this in CocoaPods installation?

For now I am going to delete the Twitter framework from the Pods.xcconfig file and include it manually (as optional), which I hope will work, but we should find a workaround for this because it will be present every time that a new framework appears.

Note: The app runs when starting from XCode, only crashes when installing the released ipa. It may make sense to you, but it does not to me :(

Yes, this will definitely have to be fixed.

Sorry I referenced the wrong issue :-(

So this issue would be solved by adding an optional_frameworks attribute to the pod spec that result in frameworks being added as -weak_framework #{name}?

If that is the case also Xcodeproj::Config needs to be update to keep track of them.

We should probably name the attribute weak_frameworks instead of optional_frameworks, that makes a bit simpler to know what is going on.

@irrationalfab Isn’t the flag supposed to be -weak_framework (not plural)? See the framework programming guide.

@alloy Ah, my bad. It should be fixed now.

@alloy I see that in target Build Settings, there are -framework UIKit and -weak_framework UIKit, why is that?
