pod 0.1.0-dev not accepted for required version 0.1.0 (without -dev suffix)

I have following setup:

1. flutter plugin with an example app
2. the plugin depends on a native library (flutter_plugin.podspec contains s.dependency 'native-lib', '0.1.0')
3. for local development I pull in the native library in the example app Podfile via pod 'native-lib', :path => '../../dependencies/native-lib/ios/'
4. the local native-lib.podspec sets s.version = '0.1.0-dev'

With this setup I would expect pods install to pull in the local lib. Instead, it says:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "native-lib":
      In Podfile:
        native-lib (from `../../dependencies/native-lib/ios/`)

        flutter_plugin (from `.symlinks/plugins/flutter_plugin/ios`) was resolved to 0.0.1, which depends on
          native-lib (= 0.1.0,)

Not even specifying s.dependency 'native-lib', '0.1.0', '0.1.0-dev' (or s.dependency 'native-lib', '0.1.0-dev', '0.1.0') in the .podspec works. What does work is using 0.1.0-dev but that will probably break when the real 0.1.0 is offered.

Why does the Podfile/podspec not accept 0.1.0-dev when the requirement is 0.1.0?

The Podfile documentation says:

~> 0.1.3-beta.0 Beta and release versions for 0.1.3, release versions up to 0.2 excluding 0.2. Components separated by a dash (-) will not be considered for the version requirement.

But even specifying ~> 0.1.0 as required version does not pick up 0.1.0-dev.

The podspec documentation does not mention dash suffixes.
