Xcode can't find Alamofire, error: No such module 'Alamofire' - ios

Question

I'm trying to include Alamofire in my Swift project following the github(https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire#cocoapods) instruction.
I've created a new project, navigated to the project directory and run this command sudo gem install cocoapods. Then I faced following error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)
Operation not permitted - /usr/bin/pod
After searching I managed to install cocoapods by running this command sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
Now I generate a pod file by pod init and edited it this way:
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'
target 'ProjectName' do
# Comment this line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
use_frameworks!
# Pods for Law
pod 'Alamofire'
target 'ProjectNameTests' do
inherit! :search_paths
# Pods for testing
end
target 'ProjectNameUITests' do
inherit! :search_paths
# Pods for testing
end
end
Finally I run pod install to install Alamofire. After that I open the project and import Alamofire statement gives me following error No such module 'Alamofire'
Update-1: Results of pod install is:
Analyzing dependencies
Downloading dependencies
Using Alamofire (3.4.0)
Generating Pods project
Integrating client project
Sending stats
Pod installation complete! There is 1 dependency from the Podfile and 1 total pod installed.

Answer 1

Open the .xcworkspace not the .xcodeproj

Answer 2

go to Product -> Scheme -> Manage Schemes...
and check Alamofire true
this work for me

Answer 3

Sometimes with no reason xcode can't load a module Alamofire. It can happen after a work session, after opening a project. The fix for this is to select a schema -> Alamofire, and run. If the message is "Successful", the schema can be changed back to project and it will work with no problems.

Answer 4

I suggest you to change your pod file like this below:
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '8.0'
# Uncomment this line if you're using Swift
use_frameworks!
pod 'Alamofire', '~> 3.0' <<<---- Alamofire library is cross beetween projects
target 'NotifyM' do
end
target 'NotifyMTests' do
end
target 'NotifyMUITests' do
end
Another thing is use_frameworks! you should use this if the project is Objective-C based and try to use Swift pod library.
UPDATE: for the new cocoapods version 1.x the shared library should be like this:
# There are no targets called "Shows" in any Xcode projects
abstract_target 'Shows' do
pod 'ShowsKit'
pod 'Fabric'
# Has its own copy of ShowsKit + ShowWebAuth
target 'ShowsiOS' do
pod 'ShowWebAuth'
end
# Has its own copy of ShowsKit + ShowTVAuth
target 'ShowsTV' do
pod 'ShowTVAuth'
end
end
as indicated into cocoapods website :http://guides.cocoapods.org/using/the-podfile.html

Answer 5

you have to clean project and build, before you can import that library.

Answer 6

Install this way Pod file
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '8.0'
# Uncomment this line if you're using Swift
use_frameworks!
target 'NotifyM' do
pod 'Alamofire', '~> 3.0'
end
target 'NotifyMTests' do
end
target 'NotifyMUITests' do
end

Answer 7

I suggest that and it's work for me :
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'App' do
pod 'SwiftyJSON', :git => 'https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON.git'
pod 'Alamofire', :git => 'https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire.git'
end
After that, run : pod install in your project repository

close XCode
open Finder app and show there "Applications"
right click on icon Xcode and click on "Get info" (or something similar)
there is checkbox "Open with Rosseta" (or something similar). Select it
run Xcode again and try to build
it worked for me hope it works for you.

Answer 9

After a lot of efforts and all solutions provided above. I have fixed on Xcode 13.0:
Use for Simulator:
Go to:
- Build settings -> EXCLUDED_ARCHS = arm64
- Build settings -> VALID_ARCHS = arm64e armv7 armv7s arm64 x86_64
Use for Realm Device:
Go to:
- Build settings -> EXCLUDED_ARCHS =
- Build settings -> VALID_ARCHS = arm64e armv7 armv7s arm64

Answer 10

You should tap the Target to select Alamofire and build it once before coding.

Answer 11

When using Cocoapods to include dependencies always open your .xcworkspace
In Podfile use use_frameworks!
Remove any linked libraries from build phases.
In Build Setting look for Framework Search Path and add $(inherited) in both debug and release.
Do the same for Header Search Path too.
Now try a clean build.
