Answer 1

This is what worked for me:

1. delete the platforms and plugins folder
2. remove the cached data rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Cocoapods
3. Remove Derived Data rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
4. run pod deintegrate
5. run pod setup
6. run pod install
7. re run whatever build command you have to recreate your platforms and plugins folder

I think this error comes about because of an issue with pods not using semantic versioning. You can read more about this at https://gist.github.com/mbinna/4202236. Clearing derivedData prevent xcode from re-reading the old code
