Why is Cocoapods pod spec lint (FAILING while) trying to build code when my podspec is only there to package a vendored_framework?

Question

So I forked this repo to here because the original didn't push its podspec anywhere.

And now I know why that developer didn't push it... it doesn't pass pod spec lint ...

And why doesn't it pass pod spec lint... ?

The .podspec is aiming to wrap a vendored_framework into a pod so it brings all dependency management under one system, hopefully thereby minimizing build-time problems.

The issue is, if you look at this podspec, there is no source. No Xcode project. Just a vendored_framework and some resources.

So I don't understand why I got this when running pod spec lint --verbose BRPtouchPrinterKit.podspec

I omitted a lot of console spew here. Basically cloning the above repo and running the pod spec lint command will reproduce the issue.

    The following build commands failed:

Probably because of an unsupported architecture: `missing required architecture i386 in file` If you can access the source, you can probably re-compile it to support i386 and then it will probably work (assuming no complications) — CodeBender, Dec 10 '19 at 17:27
I have no access to the vendored_framework source so I'm not sure what I need to do. — horseshoe7, Dec 12 '19 at 07:52
