Hold on, take a breath and do what I did after struggling all day with the problem open xcode -> Pods ->Target Support Files -> Pods-Runnder-frameworks. Open this file and search for "readlink"(cmd + f) . It should be like this source="$(readlink "${source}")" and replace it with source="$(readlink -f "${source}")" then in second place binary="${dirname}/$(readlink "${binary}")" replace it with binary="${dirname}/$(readlink -f "${binary}")" Now you are good to go to archive, happy coding
