Linking issues installing vendored frameworks on v1.8.3

[ryang1428]

• I've read and understood the CONTRIBUTING guidelines and have done my best effort to follow.

Report

What did you do?

• Run pod install
• Attempt to run project

What did you expect to happen?

• The app built successfully to the simulator

What happened instead?

• We are still getting this error with our vendored frameworks with v1.8.3. This issue was supposedly fixed in 1.8.0 (Include dependent vendored frameworks in linker flags #9045), but we are still running into it. We cannot run our app with any cocoa pods version > 1.5.3.

Error we are seeing in Xcode:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_CardIO", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in AppCoordinator.o
      objc-class-ref in VoiceController.o
      objc-class-ref in CheckController.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

We have 4 vendored frameworks. There still seems to be issues with them linking in newer cocoapods version. Again this is fine on 1.5.3 for us.

We get the same result on Xcode 10 and 11.

• Heres the issue I was following for awhile thats got closed, but still happening Vendored Frameworks not linked to Dynamic Frameworks #8519

Will need a sample app here. Can you upload one?

I met this problem too~and downgrade to 1.6.1, everything is ok

I'm seeing this too, in our app the main target correctly gets OTHER_LDFLAGS set with all of the frameworks, but all the targets that inherit from it are missing the vendored_frameworks (from the 'Firebase' pod)

Still need a sample app here.
