Answer 1

Make a deep clean of your project by ⌘ Clean (Menu >> Product >> Clean)

Answer 2

As some of the fellow developers have mentioned here, the root cause of the error was "Change in Product Name". I fixed it by :

1. Go to [project]Tests -> general

2. Select Host Application

Answer 3

I got this fixed by selecting the Tests target and searching for Bundle Loader in Build Settings and changing the product name in that path. I got this error because I have changed the Product name. The Bundle loader has the old product name in the path, so it searches for that path.

Answer 4

I found the solution, I have removed what ever was in dependency. Build Phases -> target dependancies remove whatever in there. if there's test target also click on the test in the build phases in the target dependancies remove what ever in there.

Answer 5

I got the same issue. What I did was to look for a different 'Product Name' listed under Build Settings. I found the old Product Name still listed under Packaging (Both the Product Name and Product Module Name had the old name). I changed it to the new one and the project compiled without error.

I solved by running pod deintegrate https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-deintegrate:

pod deintegrate

pod install
