'Framework not found' in Xcode

Question

I know this has been asked a couple of times. I followed instructions from these ones:

Adding frameworks to project in Xcode 5 and having *relative* paths added

xcode4: Linker error: Directory not found for option

Still Xcode is giving this error:

Here's my current configuration:

The bolts framework is so I can use the Parse SDK. I downloaded the blank project from here: https://parse.com/apps/quickstart#parse_data/mobile/ios/native/new

It's working. I tried to copy every config option, but it still doesn't work.

Answer 1

Try deleting Bolts.framework from linked framework and re-add it. Also, in your Framework Search Path keep path until Bolts.framework like $(PROJECT_DIR)/Bolts if it is inside Bolts folder at your project directory path.

Answer 2

I'm pretty new to iOS development. Apparently this problem for me was a result of opening the .xcodeproj Xcode project instead of the .xcworkspace Xcode workspace. I opened the workspace instead and the error has gone away.

Answer 3

delete all frameworks from Embedded Binaries and re-add it

Answer 4

Here is the solution :

Turn the "$(PROJECT_DIR)" attribute(might be non-recursive by default) into recursive option in Select Project Click on Targets Click - Build Settings Search for 'Framework Search Path' - Double click the input.

Answer 5

I just had the same situation (was having a hard time to address the OP's build error after adding a 3rd party framework) and it seems like a bug in Xcode (mine is 8.3.2 (8E2002)).

The problem was that a folder name in path to the framework contained spaces. In this case, Xcode incorrectly escaped them with backslashes like this in Build Settings -> Framework Search Paths:

$(PROJECT_DIR)/Folder\ with\ spaces/Lib

To fix this, just manually edit the entry to remove those backslashes and enclose the whole string in quotes like this:

"$(PROJECT_DIR)/Folder with spaces/Lib"

Answer 6

Besides from removing the framework from the Podfile and Linked Frameworks and Libraries, I also had to remove the reference to the framework in Other Linker Flags.

Answer 7

me too was getting this error , I moved the framework file to the root project folder and added to framework again and problem is solved.

Answer 8

None of the above worked for me until I found that I had a blank "Any Architecture | Any SDK" line underneath Framework Search Paths / Debug under Build Settings.

Deleted the line and it works!

Answer 9

When this error occurred to me was because Pods folder was in iCloud and had no local copy on my computer. Go to your project's folder in Finder and check if there is iCloud's symbol in any of the folders inside it!

Answer 10

Delete the framework that is causing the issue (by removing the reference).

Then add it again, following these steps for adding FBSDK frameworks and libraries:

1. click project
2. general settings
3. linked framework and libraries
4. click the plus button and add all that you want

Answer 11

My framework has long name like FrameworkSDK_Light-1.0.6.framework so I renamed it to FrameworkSDK_Light.framework and it solved my problem.

Answer 12

I realised that I hadn't run/built my framework with the Generic Device, which strangely lead to these issues. I just put the framework back in and it worked.

Answer 13

I got the error 'AdBrixRM framework not found'. I checked the AdBrixRM.framework. I noticed that 'AdBrixRM' excution file is missed. I copied this file into the framework folder and the issue was gone.

Answer 14

Please after adding both framework also open each Bolts and Parse framework and add Parse and Bolts to the project then problem will be solve
