My Podfile
platform :ios, '8.0'
pod 'Brightcove-Player-SDK'
xcodeproj 'demoApp.xcodeproj'
then run Pod install after that I open demoApp.xcworkspace
But during the compilation I got a linking error:

ld: library not found for -lBCOVPlayerSDK
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Please help me to fix this issue.
Manually I included BCOVPlayerSDK.a and this linking error gone and populated one more linking error:
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/pmuvva/gitrepo/iOS/demoApp/Pods/build/Debug-iphoneos'
ld: library not found for -lPods-Brightcove-Player-SDK
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Please guide me to fix this issue.
Seeing something similar here.
Go to Product/Edit schemes/Manage schemes and select PODS. This problem will resolve.

This is working fine on a blank project. You may have missed warnings during pod install around search path that may not be allowing CocoaPods to find libs/frameworks within your project.
i have just update the pod version :
sudo gem install cocoapods
work for me.
