Trying to add TheAmazingAudioEngine via cocoapods and failing miserably - xcode

Question

I created a podfile:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
target :MyApp do
pod 'TheAmazingAudioEngine'
end
ran pod setup, pod install, and pod update... Got:
Update all pods
Updating local specs repositories
Analyzing dependencies
Downloading dependencies
Using TheAmazingAudioEngine (1.5.1)
Generating Pods project
Integrating client project
Sending stats
Pod installation complete! There is 1 dependency from the Podfile and 1
total pod installed.
Then based off of all the advice/suggestions of various SOF posts involving this same sort of error, I did the following:
Made sure the Build Active Architectures Only are identical between my project/target + Pods
Added $(inherited) to the top of other linker flags
Added $(inherited) to Framework search paths
Added $(inherited) to Library Search Paths
(This shows build/Debug-iphoneos/TheAmazingAudioEngine"
Added $(inherited) and COCOAPODS=1 to Preprocessor Macros
Made sure Link Binary With Libraries has libPods-MyApp.a
Deleted the Pods folder, Podfile.lock and my .xcworkspace file, and did "pod install && pod update"
Cleaned the project
...
basically, no matter what I do, when I build, I always get:
