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.)
Image of Removing .framework files that are no longer necessary
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
I am a newbie when it comes to CocoaPods so please bear with me!
I am looking at the tutorial (https://www.raywenderlich.com/97014/use-cocoapods-with-swift) however this is using the dependency "pod 'Alamofire', '2.0.2'". I have looked online for over a hour now and I can't find what to use for the Charts framework (https://cocoapods.org/?q=charts).
So Far i have done the following steps:
1.
sudo gem install cocoapods
and got the following output:
2.
pod setup --verbose
and got the following output:
3.
open -a Xcode Podfile
and got the following result :
4.
Uncommented "use_frameworks!" and uncommented "platform :ios, '6.0'" and changed it to "platform :ios, '9.0'"
Now i am stuck as i don't know what dependancies i need to use for the charts framework. Apologies if this is a very simple answer!
Thanks in advanced for your help :)
EDIT: After installing the pod files i dragged the 'Charts.xcodeproj file into my project.
When i try and embed binaries i have various options:
When i add them and build i get the following errors:
Hey First you have to decide which chart library You want to use.
Something like this https://github.com/danielgindi/ios-charts
for above chart library you have to use
pod 'Charts'
in your pod file inside the project .
Now your pod file will be something like this
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'Charts'
Now open the terminal and go to your project directory and enter the command
pod install
and you are good to go.
Hope this help you.
Usually there are instructions on what CocoaPod name to use for installation on the GitHub or source code hosting page of the library.
After a pod install command under your correct project directory, you need to exit out of your .xcodeproject and open up the workspace file. This is what you do from now on after a project has a cocoapod dependency. The workspace now contains both your project, and the pods project as a package manager. The pod(s) you installed are there, and must be accessed by importing the name of the CocoaPod (can be seen in folder drop down view in the Pods project).
You do not need to drag anymore files in your own project or embed like before. Make sure to delete those.
If you're still having trouble, can you edit what your current podfile looks like?
I am getting an error when building my app after i removed reference to a framework i added incorrectly. i am new to ios and cocoapods
/Users/MyMac/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-ewxrexwuczochyctnqvlyusrtvvy/Build/Intermediates/MyApp.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyApp.build/Script-5874133373474758EEC76CFD.sh: line 2: /Users/MyMac/Documents/MyApp/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-MyApp/Pods-MyApp-frameworks.sh: No such file or directory
I am aware that the file and directory don't exist and that is the way it should be but where is it finding the reference to this file so i can remove it and be rid of the error.
I have checked the following:
Linked Frameworks andLibraries under the general tab of my project
The frameworks group in the project
framework search paths under build settings tab
i have also run pod update after removing it from the pod file
How can i fix this?
Edit
back story
I was trying to add the framework https://github.com/Alliants/ALAccordion . in the instruction it said to use
# Podfile
target 'My Target' do
use_frameworks!
pod "ALAccordion"
end
so i added MyApp where my Target is and it created a framework named Pods-MyApp which i cant remove completely.
hope this helps
Cocoapods wrote a tool to completely deintegrate all of this stuff from your project so it goes back to running standalone. It sounds like you had an issue adding the correct target, so use this:
https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-deintegrate
Then try again so you can at least start from good ground. Hope this helps!
It happened with a prerelease version of Cocoapods 1.2.0.beta.1, by reverting to stable version and running pod install, then clean build, it worked.
why
use_frameworks!
after
target ... do
here is example
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
inhibit_all_warnings!
target 'XXX' do
pod 'RealmSwift'
end
target 'XXXTests' do
pod 'RealmSwift'
end
To start: I'm using Cocoapods 0.37.2, XCode 6.3.1 compiling for iOS 8.3
My project worked just fine before I ran a basic "pod update" now it's completely refusing to compile. I'm quite positive this has nothing to do with the pods themselves. Specifically the error I'm getting is this:
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F/Users/user_name/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AppName-bjozswzeepmhacfkeimeepxzcxgb/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/include'
ld: library not found for -lPods-AppName-AFNetworking
Podfile is this:
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, "8.0"
def shared_pods
pod 'SocketRocket'
pod 'AFNetworking'
pod 'DateTools'
pod 'Spotify-iOS-SDK'
end
target "AppName" do
shared_pods
end
target "AppNameTests" do
shared_pods
end
I have cleared DerivedData (many many times), cleaned my builds, restarted XCode, restarted my machine, I have ensured my config files and linker config lists are set up correctly. I've been using Cocoapods for years and never had this much trouble.
Completely frustrated and confused... questioning sanity.
Any help?
Information from CocoaPods troubleshooting doc. Hope this helps you.
If Xcode complains when linking, e.g. Library not found for -lPods, it
doesn't detect the implicit dependencies:
Go to Product > Edit Scheme
Click on Build
Add the Pods static
library, and make sure it's at the top of the list
Clean and build again
If that doesn't work, verify that the source for the spec you
are trying to include has been pulled from GitHub. Do this by looking
in /Pods/. If it
is empty (it should not be), verify that the
~/.cocoapods/master//.podspec has the correct git hub url
in it.
If still doesn't work, check your Xcode build locations
settings. Go to Preferences -> Locations -> Derived Data -> Advanced
and set build location to "Relative to Workspace".
