ios - Xcode Unit Testing with Cocoapods

Question

I've been banging my head against a wall with this for the last few days but despite multiple Google/SO/Github searches I can't find a resolution to the issues I'm having!

All I'm trying to do is create some unit tests for my app which makes use of Firebase pods.

I'm using Xcode 7.3.1 & Cocoapods 1.0.1. Update: Issue remains with Xcode 8.0

With this podfile:

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
inhibit_all_warnings!

target 'MyApp' do
    pod 'Firebase'
    pod 'Firebase/Auth'
    pod 'Firebase/Database'
    pod 'Firebase/Storage'

    target 'MyAppTests' do
        inherit! :search_paths
    end
end

In my XCTest class I get

Missing required module 'Firebase'

error at @testable import MyApp

Alternatively with this podfile:

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
inhibit_all_warnings!

def common_pods
    pod 'SwiftyTimer'
    pod 'Firebase'
    pod 'Firebase/Auth'
    pod 'Firebase/Database'
    pod 'Firebase/Storage'
end

target 'MyApp' do
    common_pods
end

target 'MyAppTests' do
    common_pods
end

The tests build but my console is littered with warnings e.g.:

Class <-FirebaseClassName-> is implemented in both ...MyApp... and ...MyAppTests... One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined

I had the same issue. I solved it by moving pod 'Firebase' to my test target. Change your Podfile to this:

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
inhibit_all_warnings!

target 'MyApp' do
    pod 'Firebase/Auth'
    pod 'Firebase/Database'
    pod 'Firebase/Storage'

    target 'MyAppTests' do
        inherit! :search_paths
        pod 'Firebase'
    end
end
