CocoaPods' Pods.xcconfig conflicts with existing ones
You can still have your cake and (partly) eat it. Your targets' xcconfig file can include the cocoapods one:
#include "../Pods/Pods.xcconfig"MY_SETTING = YES...
However, the part you still can't eat is when you want to specify the flags already set in Pods.xcconfig. I can't find a way to add to paths that Cocoapods already set in the included file, e.g. you'd want this:
HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS = $(HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS) MyOtherIncludes
However this line simply drops the Cocoapods header search path, leaving only MyOtherIncludes :-(
One workaround for this should be to move MyOtherIncludes to the project's xcconfig files, which Cocoapods doesn't touch. Unfortunately this didn't work for me, YMMV.
