I've been struggling to get VLC working in my iOS app for a while now. Using Cocoapods, the MobileVLCKit is imported into my project. When I run the app now, it compiles with no problem. However, when I include anything from the MobileVLCKit (MobileVLCKit.h, VLCMediaPlayer.h), the app crashes, telling me that symbols aren't found.
This is the crash:

When I installed VLC through cocoa pods, I got this warning:
The `iOSCamApp [Release]` target overrides the `OTHER_LDFLAGS` build setting defined in `../Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-iOSCamApp/Pods-iOSCamApp.release.xcconfig'. This can lead to problems with the CocoaPods installation
- Use the `$(inherited)` flag, or
- Remove the build settings from the target.
When I add the $(inherited) flag and try to build, I get the following crash:

Does anyone know what to do? I've tried so many things and nothing seems to help. Autocomplete is able to read the VLC stuff and autocompletes it for me in Xcode, so the framework should be fine.
