Permission: Unable to access Photos permission

I solved this issue as @ahartwel commented. Here is my podspec:

https://github.com/leoneparise/Permission/blob/master/Permission.podspec

use my repo until they solve the cocoapods issue. Add

:git => 'https://github.com/leoneparise/Permission', :branch => 'master'

to each Permission entry in you podfile.

This started happening to me when I updated cocoapods. I am not sure why, but the swift active compilation conditions are only being set for release builds now, not for debug. If you replace “SWIFT_ACTIVE_COMPILATION_CONDITIONS” with “OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS” in the podspec and add a “-D” before the value it will build properly.

the current podspec:

s.subspec 'Photos' do |ph|
    ph.dependency 'Permission/Core'
    ph.pod_target_xcconfig = { "SWIFT_ACTIVE_COMPILATION_CONDITIONS"  => "PERMISSION_PHOTOS" }
  end

what builds properly:

s.subspec 'Photos' do |ph|
    ph.dependency 'Permission/Core'
    ph.pod_target_xcconfig = { "OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS"  => "-DPERMISSION_PHOTOS" }
  end

It’s fixed in Cocoapods 1.3.1, update your version 🚀

@leoneparise Excellent! It worked, I’ll use your fork until they fix the original one 😉.
