libtool: can't locate file for: -lPods-PSSCore

Getting this error in Xcode 12.4

error: /Applications/Xcode12.4.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: can't locate file for: -lPods-PSSCore error: /Applications/Xcode12.4.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: file: -lPods-PSSCore is not an object file (not allowed in a library)

Currently using Xcode 10 but when I try to run code in Xcode 12.4 it gives this error and not able to build the project

The specific error here is easy to explain. Some part of your build process is invoking libtool with the -lPods-PSSCore argument, which tells it to work with the Pods-PSSCore file. That file doesn’t exist, and hence this error.

As to why that’s happening, it’s hard to say without knowing more about your build process. The Pods- prefix suggests that this is being done by CocoaPods, which isn’t something I maintain expertise in.
