CocoaAsyncSocket pod same class name

[jantimar]

Hi when I use in my pods too CocoaAsyncSocket
Then I have problem with class with same name.

I was try refactoring but don't help me.

This is content of my Pod file:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
pod "XBChatModule"
pod 'LIFXKit'

This is my error:
....

It looks like LIFXKit forked CocoaAsyncSocket for just one little change, but otherwise contains all the latest stuff from CocoaAsyncSocket (last release was August 2014, and latest LIFXKit came two months later). Still, it would be nice if LIFXKit didn't embed its own copy of CocoaAsyncSocket and used a CocoaPods dependency instead. I hit a similar issue with some LimitlessLED code (not a CocoaPod) using GCDAsyncUdpSocket, but fortunately, it had an easy workaround (remove my own copy of GCDAsyncUdpSocket.* and point my header search path at ${PODS_ROOT}/Headers/Private/LIFXKit/ to find theirs) that probably wouldn't apply to you. Sorry that's not much help to your situation, but hopefully @nsforge can get his patch into the master CocoaAsyncSocket.

Still hoping this would be possible. It's a shame to use CocoaPods, and then embed code that also supports CocoaPods, defeating the purpose.

I've confirmed this issue as well.

LIFXKit and Cocoa Async Socket result in a duplicate symbols issue when installed together.

IT's not possible to use the LIFXKit version of Cocoa Async Socket because the headers are not public in the podspec.
