Some Solutions I tried , and all of below didn’t work which was previously suggested on similar stackoverflow questions

  • Opening xcworkspace, yes I am opening that.Not the project
  • Restart xcode
  • Clean & Build multiple times.
  • Deleted pods folder, and installed pods again.
  • pod update multiple times
  • set Build Active architecture Only to Yes
  • Selected my Target, went to "Build Phases" in "Link Binary With Libraries" removed ".a" file of that library. Clean and Build.
  • Target -> Build Settings ->Other Linker Flags = $(inherited)
  • Target -> Build Settings ->Library Search Path = $(inherited)

Note that libPods-om.a is giving me red whenever i add in target ( choose frameworks and libraries to add)

Worth to note, it runs onreal physical device. but not simulator

    I had the same issue you are describing. I tried most of the things you mention but none of them worked. In the past I have been 100% successful in running this on the simulator (whenever I was working on a non-UI thing) and needless to say also successful in running it on a real device. Something happened in the last 2 weeks where now neither the simulator nor the real-device can be used.

    In the end I just decided to bite the bullet, start from scratch and clone the remote git repository from where the project resides. Note that before doing this I moved my non-working folder into a safe location (Desktop) and cloned the repository into the same location as the non-working used to be.

    After that I ran pod install in the folder of the freshly-cloned project and ran it on a physical device. It worked on the first go.
    However I still cannot used the simulator. But I’m happy to have gained back the physical device at least.

    UPDATE:
    SOLUTION FOUND!!

    After about a day of researching and trying multiple things. I found a solution here:
    https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/10059#issuecomment-693346078

    Short summary a new entry is added; it is located in Build Settings->User-Defined->VALID-ARCHS. I deleted this, and now I can run both on simulator and on-device.

    Go to Build Settings
    Add new key under User-Defined section

    VALID_ARCHS : armv7 armv7s arm64 arm64e x86_64

    I had same issue on Xcode 12.4, only on simulators (on device works well).
    Solved by adding arm64 for key Any iOS Simulator SDK on Build Settings < Excluded Archicetures. Add on

    1. Project settings, and
    2. Pods settings

    enter image description here

    Or, you can try another solution (also worked for me):

    1. adding arm64 for key Any iOS Simulator SDK on Project settings
    2. add config.build_settings["EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"] = "arm64" on Pod file
