Compile protobuf with Xcode 5 using CocoaPods

Question

I am trying to add GoogleProtobuf (2.5.0) to my application. From what I have read, the best way is to use CocoaPods. So I went through a tutorial for getting started with CocoaPods. I got all the way to where I ran pod install in my project folder and it created the project workspace. I open the project workspace and try to clean/build and I receive the following error:

I'm a newb at this. Does this mean anything to anyone?

Wow! That's a little picture.

Let me see if I can copy the info in:

My Podfile contains this:

platform :ios, '7.0'
pod 'GoogleProtobuf', '~> 2.5.0'

When I ran the install, this is the output:

Answer 1

Okay, so I found s lot of information at the two links provided in my last two comments. Especially this answer to the SO Question.

My issue ended up being that my Pods Valid Architectures had to be the same as the Valid Architectures are in my project.

I spent all day on this and the minute I posted the question, I found an answer that helped me figure out my problem.

I hope this helps somebody else! :-)

Answer 2

Check all libraries of projects. If you see anyone missing (red color) , update it specifically. Or you can thoroughly update all libraries with command "pod update" with going into the projects directory. It solved my problem.
