Spatialite cocoapod doesn't install correclty

Question

I've made new Xcode project with a template. I have a pod file that only asks for the 'spatialite/core' pod (which is dependent on the sqlite3 pod. I run 'pod install --verbose', and I get this:

Everything processed without error, but the problem is that it only installs Pod-sqlite3 and Pod, but not Pod-spatialite.

I've been looking at the podspec.json file, but I can't see anything wrong, and I can't find ways to debug this any further. It would be very helpful if somebody could point me to command line options for the 'pod' command that give the core details about what it is executing in the background, and where it goes wrong.

Thanks!

I found the reason why it doesn't get added: the code gets downloaded correctly, but the podspec.json is configured incorrectly which results in the downloaded code not being found.

The solution is to change the podspec.json file as follows:

   "source": {
-    "http": "http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/libspatialite-sources/libspatialite-4.1.1.tar.gz"
+    "http": "http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/libspatialite-sources/libspatialite-4.1.1.tar.gz",
+    "flatten": true
   },

After this, things start working. It still fails compilation later, but that's due to another, known issue (see https://github.com/andreacremaschi/SpatialDBKit and https://github.com/andreacremaschi/SpatialDBKit/issues/12)
