still getting file not found error in xcode

Question

I am new in PhoneGap, making a app via Xcode; But I found an error regarding CDVViewController.h. However, the file physically exists there. I am using Xcode 4.

Answer 1

Man, there are a lot of red herring answers to this question out there. This is what worked for me, and is in the documentation for both PhoneGap 2.5 and 3.0 (see here: PhoneGap docs for iOS (look under "missing headers"), using Xcode 4.6.

1. In Xcode, go to Preferences... > Locations, then click on the Advanced... button.
2. Make sure the build location radio button is set to "Unique".
3. Close out the Preferences and Rebuild.

Answer 2

"$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)" "$(OBJROOT)/UninstalledProducts/include" "$(TARGET_BUILD_DIR)/usr/local/lib/include"

phonegap add podfile must include above

Answer 3

You may need to update your CordovaLib sub-project reference.

1. Launch Terminal.app
2. Go to the location where you installed Cordova in the bin sub-folder. For example, /Users/Shared/Cordova/phonegap-2.2.0/lib/ios/bin

3. Run the script below where the first parameter is the path to your project's .xcodeproj file:

   ./update_cordova_subproject path/to/your/project/xcodeproj

Answer 4

Please add this line to your projects Build Settings >> Header Search Paths:

$(OBJROOT)/UninstalledProducts/$(PLATFORM_NAME)/include

it's worked on Xcode 7.0 + and iOS 9+.

Answer 5

If you're building to the local build output directory, rather than the new xcode artefact store, you may need to copy the contents of CordovaLib/build into $YOURPROJECT/build.

The same applies if you're using xcodebuild from a terminal.
