Ionic & capacitor - build fails for IOS but Android works

[RadoslawPerczynski]

Hi,
I tried to implement this plugin with Ionic 5 & Capacitor. It works on Android but I cannot build the IOS at all.
It constantly says:

❌ /ios/capacitor-cordova-ios-plugins/sources/CordovaPluginZendesk/Zendesk.m:3:9: module 'ZendeskSDK' not found
and the entire build fails.

I was checking here: https://developer.zendesk.com/embeddables/docs/ios_support_sdk/release_notes#5.0.0 and provided ZendeskSDK in Podfile but it doesn't help. Literally nothing helps,

Was this working for IOS before? I am trying to build with XCode 11 but even with XCode 10, the error is always the same.

What am I possibly missing? Thanks in advance.

The plugin uses cordova-plugin-cocoapods-support as a dependency to configure CocoaPods dependencies instead of using the official Cordova tags.

Capacitor doesn't support those custom tags, there is an issue open for considering it, so add a +1 reaction if you are interested ionic-team/capacitor#2773

But the ideal fix would be for the plugin authors to move to the official syntax

I tried to investigate on my own. Eventually, I was able to build on IOS but I did this only as an out-of-curiosity check. Thanks @jcesarmobile !

I am just giving a hint here and of course, it should be fixed by the plugin's authors.
