I'm trying to add a framework to my IOS project but when I build I always got the same message :
ld: framework not found Pods
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I tried to remove my Pods directory and then run pod install
I open the .xcworkspace like it is written in the logs on the pod install, I clean the project on xcode and then try to build but it won't works..
My podfile looks like this :
xcodeproj '/Users/guillaume/project/Mobile/iOS/FoodPin/FoodPin.xcodeproj'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'SwiftHTTP', '~> 0.9.2'
My version of xcode is 6.3.1
Thank you,
In Project Navigator in the folder Pods I had a Pods.framework in there which was red. It was also present in Linked Frameworks and Libraries. I removed both references and the error disappeared.
TL;DR
Remove Pods.framework in:
Folder named Pods
Linked Frameworks and Libraries
This is usually caused by having the .xcodeproj file open instead of .xcworkspace.
When you run 'pod install' for the first time, it will create an .xcworkspace file, which includes your original .xcodeproj and a Pods project. You'll need to close your .xcodeproj and open the .xcworkspace instead.
This is a common issue when creating a project through Xcode's new project wizard - I often forget that I'm not in a workspace, which is required to get Cocoapods to link correctly.
Xcode 9, 10, 11, 11.5
install https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-deintegrate
pod deintegrate
then
pod install
I cleared this error by deleting the red .framework files that were located in a folder Frameworks in the project navigator. I think this also automatically deleted corresponding red entries in the Linked Frameworks and Libraries section of the General settings.
I have been cleaning / reinstalling pods in order to fix another issue. Perhaps these red framework files and entries were just leftover from a previous pod install?
I had a similar issue as
framework not found Pods_OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension
It was resolved by removing the following. Go to target OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension > Build Phases > Link Binary with Libraries and deleting Pods_OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension.framework
Hope this helps. Cheers.
For who find this issue. I am using NativeScript and got the same error.
That happen becouse I opened the file .xcodeproj, but we must open the project by the file .xcworkspace.
This happened to me after updating my Podfile and doing a pod update.
For some reason, I had a "Pods_[ProjectName]".framework file appear under my project under 'Targets' > General > Linked Frameworks and Libraries.
Deleting this and then clean/rebuilding fixed the issue.
you should delete your project some file as this picture.
I was getting this error because i renamed my project and change the name of project in pod file too but my project was referring to old name which was not there and causing this error . I get rid of this by
pod deintegrate
followed by
pod install
Just Remove your .framework from the list of "Your Project->General->Linked Framework & Libraries".
It's happened to me because I changed the Deployment Target in General but forgot to change the Deployment Target in Pods > General.
[Xcode 11.2.1]
For me it was different app target version in Podfile(platform :ios, '11.0') and in Xcode project file .
It causing Archiving job fail in CI pipeline.
Matching both value fixed an issue! Hope this help anyone.
This issue was driving me crazy as it suddenly happened without doing any changes to the project. I've tried all suggested solutions in this thread (and other related) and none of them solved the problem.
The only thing that differed from my other projects (which compiled fine), was that this project name was containing an accent (a french accent, "é"). I've renamed the project and all related files, and it finally worked !
Maybe this is related to updating to Xcode 10, because this project was working well before...
EDIT : it also seems to failed when using a project with - in project name…
In my case I can build it on devices and simulator but has the same errors when archiving. To solve it, I have to
remove Pods.framework
make sure Pods-<project-name>.framework is embedded
You will find the settings in TARGETS-->Linked Frameworks and Libraries.
In my case, after comparing the difference between a branch I knew built correctly, I noticed this line in my Podfile:
platform :ios, '11.0'
I had inadvertently up'd my target version from 10 to 11 while my targets in Xcode remained set to 10. Reverting back to 10 solved my issue for me.
Ensure your target iOS versions are properly set.
Step 1
The first thing that you will need to do is remove the Podfile, Podfile.lock, the Pods folder, and the generated workspace.
Step 2
Next, in the .xcodeproj, remove the references to the Pods.xcconfig files and the libPods.a file.
Step 3
Within the Build Phases project tab, delete the Check Pods Manifest.lock section (open),Copy Pods Resources section (bottom) and Embed Pod Resources(bottom).
Step4
Remove Pods.framework.
The only thing you may want to do is include some of the libraries that you were using before. You can do this by simply draging whatever folders where in the pods folders into your project (I prefer to put them into my Supporting Files folder).
It worked for me.
Using Xcode 8.3 the accepted answer didn't work for me. I had tried many other solutions but #Elliott Davies answer is what fixed it for me. I'm adding a screenshot for clarity. For some reason, Xcode was trying to link previous podfile setups that no longer existed. All I had to do was delete the extra references and everything worked.
You're more than likely trying to get the pods to work into you project right?
The only way to do so is by creating a separate project that uses CocoaPods.
Close all work-spaces that you are using.
Next, make sure you have your Podfile completely ready to go.
In the command line, wherever your file is, type the command:
pod deintegrate
Then, install your pod agian.
pod install or pod update
Now you can use your project's new workspace to develop from. Look for a file called .workspace. Use that file!
Here is a guide on using CocoaPods
This is the way i fix my problem. and it now work when i writing this answer:
Firstly, i try all the most fix way above,
remove Pods_xxx.framework from the link libraries and framework in target's build phases is helpful, and the issue will disappear, but the coming problem is i can't import the Pods.framework anymore.
And Then, i try to reinit the xcworkspace config, so that i can figure out the real problem. so i run
pod deintergate
and then install my pod again:
pod install
this work prefectly, but the problem is still in there, but i figure out the real problem is the Pods_xxx.framworks not be compiled succeed by cocoapods build script. I think this is the true way to fix the problem.
Finally, i try to edit my project's scheme:
and i add Pods scheme into manage:
and build this Pods.framework separately, and you will find the Pods.framework icon become truly again:
and i think now you have fix your "framework not found Pods_xxxx.framework" problem
but actually i have another problem coming:
so i go to the build setting, and edit the "Framework Search Path" with "${inherited}",
and now all the problems goes out, cheer!!!!:)
After removing and updating pod I still had same issue.
I've found that previous developer put flag in 'Build Settings -> Other Linker Flags' with Framework name (in my case -framework 'OGVKit') that made the issue.
After deleting that flag, project builds properly.
Other thing that solved my problem is to go under Target -> Build Settings -> Other linker Flags and delete the "-framework" and your framework "name".
It happened when i tried to remove a pod.
in my case, my problem was the following: ld: framework not found UserMessagingPlatform.xcframework
for me, the solution was the following:
open a finder window and go to the ios folder
look for the following files:
Pods-[YOUR PROJECT NAME].release.xcconfig
Pods-[YOUR PROJECT NAME].debug.xcconfig
open those files and remove the following text: -framework "UserMessagingPlatform.xcframework" in both files
I did experience this problem because I did not set the platform correctly.
So in my macOS app I had the platform set to:
platform :ios
instead of
platform :osx
In my case, there was a reference to the library I removed on
Targets > Build Settings > Runpath Search Paths
Removing the library from Podfile and updating it obviously didn't remove it, so I had to do it manually and now everything works.
None of the previous answers pointed out the root problem in my situation.
So I hope this may be useful to someone else.
In my case I ended up having to edit my podfile at the root of my project. When I first created my podfile, swift static libraries were not supported.
So I had been using use_frameworks! in my podfile under each of my targets as such:
BEFORE
...
target 'targetName' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'podName', '~> 0.2'
end
AFTER
...
target 'targetName' do
pod 'podName', '~> 0.2'
end
I removed use_frameworks! from my podfile which kept installing the frameworks every time I ran pod install. After removing this line, make sure to run pod install again and remove any of the red .framework references from your Frameworks folder in Xcode. (Though mine appeared differently as attached below.)

You can also read more about use_framework! here.
I had the same issue after removing some pods from my project.
First I have used pod deintegrate after that pod install in the terminal but didn't work for me.
So I went to the second step inside my project Build Setting and on the Other Linker Flags option, I have found that the deleted frameworks are not removed so I removed them manually.
I have resolved this issue.
delete these three files.
Podfile.lock
Pods folder
.xcworkspace
Then open your project in terminal and run pod deintegrate command, and after then run pod install command
I resolved this issue by selecting the project which downloaded from CocoaPods and built it, you can click Manage Schemes so that it can be appeared in Run bar. Then you can rebuild your project. Hope it help.
I tried every answer on here and none of them worked. I ended up getting it working by upping the deployment target from 10.0 to 11.0. I have no idea why that fixed it, but I suspect it has to do with upgrading to Xcode 10.2.1.
maybe you suddenly open the wrong file of .xcodprj and you should open .xcworkspace
When I ran "Build", Xcode showed me the error "SWIFT_VERSION '3.2' is unsupported..." for one of my Pods, which, sure enough, was using Swift version 3.2.
I updated the problem Pod to a newer version that specifies Swift 5.0 in its .swift-version file, but when I run "Build", Xcode still shows me the same error, which claims that the problem Pod is using Swift 3.2.
I've tried cleaning the build folder, deleting the Pod cache and reinstalling all CocoaPods for the project, and quitting and restarting Xcode, but none of that solved this problem. How do I get Xcode to recognize the Swift version in the Pod folder?
The solution was to open the Project Navigator, click on "Pods", select the problem Pod, and in "Build Settings", change the Swift Language Version.
Thank you, #Claus Jørgensen for pointing me to the answer!
After I update my Firebase via "pod update", I got error like this :
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F/Users/bennysantoso/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/FCM-atfcxuircoryufazlomgwfgmvaqm/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/GoogleToolboxForMac'
ld: framework not found GoogleToolboxForMac
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Here my Podfile :
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'
pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
target 'BB' do
# Comment this line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
use_frameworks!
# Pods for BB
target 'BBTests' do
inherit! :search_paths
# Pods for testing
end
target 'BBUITests' do
inherit! :search_paths
# Pods for testing
end
end
Does anybody know about this error?
I seek out relationships GoogleToolboxForMac and Firebase, but I just get a little bit of information.
FYI, I use Swift 2.3 and Firebase 3.8.0.
I will be grateful for any help you can provide. Thanks!
I had the same error. Once you install the pods, you'll see the following message.
[!] Please close any current Xcode sessions and use MyApp.xcworkspace
for this project from now on.
I didn't notice this for the first time and was trying to build the project using the regular xcodeproj file. After I saw this message, I opened the right project and it worked fine.
Once you open this project you'll notice that you have two subprojects. One would be your project, and another would be the Pods project.
Framework Not Found
When using Pods, we usually face this issue.
There are two main reasons for this
When we open the .xcodeproj file instead of .xcworkspace as mentioned by izaaz-yunus in this Answer
When Build Active Architecture Only is set to Yes in Build Settings
This applies to the projects target and also to all the targets in the pod project
Main Project Screenshot
Pod Project Screenshot
Select Build Settings (of main project, pod project both)
Select each Target one by one
Set Build Active Architectures to No for each target
Finally clean and rebuild your project.
In my case all integration are well-done and also did try so many time to remove and reinstall pod but did not get success.
Finally try with below step
Projetc->Manage Schemes -> Select check box "Pods-MyProjectName"
And get success.
GoogleToolboxForMac is a dependency of Firebase/Messaging. Details in the podspec. When doing "pod update", Cocoapods should set up your workspace to build and link GoogleToolboxForMac.
It sounds like something about your workspace is in a bad state. Does Product -> Clean help? What about deleting Derived Data and the ModuleCache (Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations -> Derived Data)?
It shouldn't be necessary, but you could also try explicitly adding pod 'GoogleToolboxForMac/Logger' to your Podfile.
its work's
1. select your project in directories
2. select General
3. Add "GoogleToolboxForMac.framework" to the Linked "frameworks and Libraries"
This was fixed by adding $(inherited) in the Build Settings -> Search for LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS.
This is understandable, since when updating your pod file for the latest versions of libraries which your project depends on, the debug output tells you where you need to add all the $(inherited) flags:
LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS
OTHER_LD_FLAGS
GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS
Go to : target -> Build Settings -> Other Linker Flags -> remove framework "GoogleToolboxforMAC" and build the project.
I had the same issue when I tried to run it on my device. On the simulator it was working fine. I tried some of the above but it didn't work for me. I checked that I was working on .xcworkspace instead of .xcodeproj file, so I tried this one. Follow these steps to:
Open Xcode project (cocoapods project) using .xc... file.
Select Pods project in the project navigator (blue icon on left).
Under Targets, ensure Pods-ProjectName (blue icon) is selected.
Navigate to Build Settings and set the iOS Deployment Target on which iOS version you are going to run project.
Note:It is same as what you set in Project->Targets->Deployment info->Deployment Target.
Maybe someone get benefitted from this.
If you're facing the same error, in your XCode, go to:
Your Project > your target > Scroll down to Linked Framework and Libraries and check if the Library entry is dimmed:
If so, remove and add it again. In my case, I had duplicated entries and one of them was dimmed (when XCode can't find them on disk).
Closed the project that I was trying to build after I did pod install then opened the .workspace and then everything builds perfectly.
Open the your-project.xcworkspace in your project destination.
1)Open terminal -> 2) $cd /project_destination -> 3) $open your-project.xcworkspace
or just open the file in finder
Make sure your "Build Active Architecture settings" for both your project target and the pod are same. Setting NO in both these cases fixed my issue.
My issue was that I had a /bin/sh script that copied specific Pods which didn't exist. This was one of them. Removing the script resolved the build issue.
-I search in harddrive for the GoogleToolboxForMac files, found in :
/Users/Marco/Documents/iosapps/BomRetiro/Bom Retiro/Pods/Target Support Files
And then i copied the files to this folder :
/Users/YourHomeFolder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Bom_Retiro-bsfjbazzzuwmuidqurdmjvdtnnsb/Build/Products
And then for me is resolved opening the project usinf .xcworkspace file.
For those still having issues after all this.
I am working on a cordova project and the issue suddenly appeared after upgrading to XCode 11.5.
Finally I was able to solve it by opening the pods.json file in the project root and remove the entry in "libraries" which belongs to "FirebaseMessaging".
We were not using that and I dont know how it got there.
Additionally I have changed the "Build Setting" -> "Build Active Architecture Only" to "No" everywhere.
Afterwards I opened the .xcworkspace file again and the build ran through.
Worked solution is
Search GoogleToolboxForMa in xcodeproj
Remove all references from the build configurations
Swift 5 Simple Answer
Shift+Alt+Cmd+K //Clean the project and Run again!
//if not work restart Xcode and again clean it
//Its will work happy coding
Friends, you must be confused with the exact result, as i was. So, i feel to share the
screenshot that might be helpful. We all had to be careful that we need to change the flag for property **"Build Active architecture Only"** for **pod target** to **NO** And build, it would not show the linking error.
See the attached screenshot.
