While some development versions of CocoaPods (as well as pre-1.0 versions) may have propagated the deployment target of the project down to the pods, this is no longer the case in 1.0. To work around this, the current developer recommends using a post-install hook.
Here’s a brute force approach to force a hard-coded deployment target for every pod in the generated Pods project. Paste this at the end of your Podfile
:
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '9.2'
end
end
end
