Two modules with the same library dependency fail to compile - xcode

Question

I'm working on a CocoaPod that depends on two other pods i also wrote. Let's say Pod1, Pod2 and Pod3. Pod2 and Pod3 have this on their podspecs:
...
s.libraries 'sqlite3'
...
... this is because both of them use different static libraries that depend on sqlite. That line adds sqlite3 as a linked library ("Linked Frameworks and Libraries" on Build Phases) on their respective cocoapod compilation.
Then, Pod1 has both of those pods as dependencies:
...
s.dependency 'Pod2'
s.dependency 'Pod3'
...
When i try to compile Pod1, this error is thrown:

What are my options? I tried to publish sqlite3 in a separate, shared pod, but it neither of both libraries take it

Answer 1

Make sure that the podspec specifies sqlite3 as a system library dependency:
s.library = 'sqlite3'
