Duplicate Resources (Assets.car)

[mrousavy]

Problem

The Google Nearby Pod adds the Assets.car file to Build Phases -> [CP] Copy Pods Resources in the Apps .xcodeproj file, which makes building impossible, as another Assets.car resource is already defined, meaning they would overwrite eachother.
This is a known issue of the Google Nearby API, but I'm sure there are easy workarounds for that such as a post_install Podfile hook. Problem is I don't know ruby.

Solution

Add a post_install Podfile hook?

Adding this to the top of the Podfile fixes the issue, though hypothetically at a performance cost:

install! 'cocoapods', :disable_input_output_paths => true

Nice find! I've added that to the Troubleshooting Page (5.).

I'm leaving this issue open, since this is a workaround, not a fix ;)
