pod lib lint doesn’t check frameworks

[0xced]

The pod lib lint command only compiles static libraries but doesn’t try to link them to an application executable. So if you forget to specify a framework in the podspec, the linker error that will ensue will not be caught by the linter but only once you use the pod in an actual project.

This is even more relevant now that CocoaPods supports building frameworks :)

--use-frameworks was mentioned in the blog post but seems to be missing in 0.36.1. Is there a branch that has this flag we could use during migration to frameworks?

@tapi Since that post, we've reversed pod linting to use frameworks by default, and introduced it's counterpart --use-libraries to disable this.

👍 : Good to know, thanks.
