I ran into something similar with googles MLKit. This is a bit of a brute force for all pods but it gets the job done. post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| if config.name == 'Debug' config.build_settings['EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]'] = 'arm64' end end end end end
