A sample iOS project showing cocoapod frameworks search paths not inherited issue
To replicate the issue, run pod install and try to build the app. You will see that the Realm dependency is found correctly, however the Firebase dependency is not because it is distributed as a framework (although we are not using the use_frameworks! cocoapods flag), and the framework search paths from the SampleFramework are not copied to SampleApp, despite having specified inherit! :search_paths in the Podfile.
