framework added via cocoapods not avaliable at runime of host app

the setup

i have an iOS App MY-App which uses my own framework MY-Framework. Both are written in swift. The app only handles user authentification and passes an access token to MY-Framework. MY-Framework then handles the entire screenflow and business logic. The goal is to distribute the MY-Framework to customers to use it in their apps.

for a while i was using cocoapods to add GoogleMaps to F. everything worked fine.

my project structure is:

MY-App/
   +- Develop.xcworkspace
   \- MY-App.xcodeproj

MY-Framework/
   +- MY-Framework.workspace
   +- MY-Framework.xcodeproj
   \- Pods/
        \- Pods.xcodeproj

my Podfile was a simple

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

target 'MY-Framework' do
  pod 'GooglePlaces'
  pod 'GoogleMaps'
end

now i was to enhance my app with some animation and were to use Lottie-ios for it

i updated my Podfile as follows

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

target 'MY-Framework' do
  pod 'GooglePlaces'
  pod 'GoogleMaps'
  pod 'lottie-ios'
end

i was then not able to import Lottie in my code. solution was to include

use_frameworks!

in the Podfile

So far so good, but when building i got linker errors with lottie.

My solution was to explicitly add the Lottie.framework from the Pods project to my frameworks linked frameworks list. Screenshot from my Develop.xcworkspace open.

now i was able to compile the app and link it successfully, but at the runtime the app crashes with the usual

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/Lottie.framework/Lottie
  Referenced from: .../Debug-iphonesimulator/Framework.framework/Framework
  Reason: image not found

at this i am stuck. what i dont understand is why only lottie has this problem, i had no hoops to jump to use GoogleMaps.

My Question

how do i use the lottie-ios cocoalpod in such a way that it is completely contained in MY-Framework, so when i share it to a customer they can just drop it into their App and not worry about any dependencies?

Basically the way it works at the moment with just GoogleMaps
