Private CocoaPod Spec with Dependency Cannot Find Dependency - objective-c

Question

I'm trying to deploy a private CocoaPod, and I'm running into a perplexing issue with my framework's dependency graph. I cannot get my code to find a necessary class from one of its dependencies - RestKit, to be specific.
I first ran pod lib create to create the framework, then added RestKit as a dependency of the private CocoaPod in its .podpsec file. Everything seemed to be working fine until I referenced one particular class in RestKit, which it cannot seem to find unless I use an #import statement.
I've tried all of the following include's, and none of them work:
#import <RestKit/RestKit.h>
#import <RestKit/ObjectMapping.h>
#import <RestKit.h>
#import <ObjectMapping.h>
#import "RestKit.h"
#import "ObjectMapping.h"
The only one that does work is #import RestKit.ObjectMapping. However, using this import/include statement causes pod lib lint to fail as it can't find RestKit. I'm a bit stuck as to what else to try here. I've remade the podspec project already, and I've tried all the includes. Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Edit:
Below is my podspec.
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = "MyAPI"
s.version = "0.1.4"
s.summary = "My summary here."
s.description = <<-DESC
My description here.
DESC
s.homepage = "http://example.com"
s.license = 'None'
s.author = { "Sean Olszewski" => "sean#somewebsite.com" }
s.source = { :git => "ssh://username#myprivateserver/path/to/private/pod/repo", :tag => s.version.to_s }
s.platform = :ios, '7.0'
s.requires_arc = true
s.source_files = 'Pod/Classes/**/*'
s.resource_bundles = {
'MyAPI' => ['Pod/Assets/*.png']
}
s.public_header_files = 'Pod/Classes/**/*.h'
s.dependency 'RestKit', '~> 0.25.0'
s.dependency 'RKValueTransformers'
end

You should specify a version and a development target for your Pod.
s.ios.deployment_target = '7.0'
s.platform = :ios, '7.0'
Also you will have to change the import statement in your code, as it will be interpreted as a module (use_frameworks! in the pod file ), that's why you can't use #import anymore.
If you run into the 'non modular include' you will the to set the property in your Podspec:
s.xcconfig = { 'CLANG_ALLOW_NON_MODULAR_INCLUDES_IN_FRAMEWORK_MODULES' => 'YES'}
