# pod 'vidaKYC', '1.0.0'
end

post_install do |installer|
  distribution_pods = ['Mixpanel-swift']
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if distribution_pods.include? target.name
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION'] = 'YES'
