As a beginner in ObjectiveC I need some help.
I'm working on a phonegap plugin for IOS (so, written with objective C). I use some open source code but I got an error with an .h import.
My architecture look like:
myFmk.framework/
myFmk.framework/ABCDE/myFmk.h <== in a sub folder
myFmk.framework/myFmk <=== this is a file
myPlugin.h
myPlugin.m
In myPlugin.h I have #import and in "myFmk.framework/myFmk" file I have only one line "ABCDE/".
I thought that this file do a redirection of the absolute import (with brackets) but my complier told me that "myFmk/myFmk.h" is not found.
I tried to find some documentation about this feature but I wasn't able to find its name... do you have this documentation or the feature name?
Thks.
Is the framework added using a cocoapod? If not, did you follow the instructions properly for adding it to your project? It would probably help if you posted the framework you are experiencing problems with.
If this is a framework that is added to your project properly and you are unable to import there are a few things you should check. First, go to your project settings (click on the project at the very top of your file tree in the left column) and then look for "linked libraries". See if the library is listed there. If not click the + and try to add it.
If this framework was added via cocoapods another thing to check is search your file structure for libPods.a. If it is red, I find sometimes it is helpful to delete it, close the project and run pod install again.
Also if you installed the project via cocoapods remember to open the workspace and not the old xcode project file.
I have also experienced this problem when my header search paths and other linker flag paths were wrong. Linker Flags should be $inherited if this is a cocoapod. In my projects most Header search paths are $inherited too.
If none of this is helpful please provide more information such as how this framework was added to your project and what the framework is. Also let us know if you get any error messages.

So I am trying to add a static library to my project in order to interface with a scanner. I have linked the binary in build phases to the libCaptuvoSDK.a, put the Captuvo.h header file in the project folder, and finally set the project to always search the user paths and added $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR) recursive to the user header search paths. After doing all this I am trying to use #import "Captuvo.h" in my ViewController.swift file and getting the 2 errors Expected identifier in import declaration, and Expected expression. I have tried different combinations of importing and none of them seem to make a difference so I am led to believe the issue is with my process of adding the library.
I am new to Xcode and have never used a third party library in an application before so I feel I may be making a simple mistake or just misinterpreting things. Any help is appreciated!
Okay so I managed to fix my issue! I had imported the static library properly but the real issue was the header file. I fixed my issue by creating a new file in my projects folder named Quick-Scan-Bridging-Header.h. Inside that file is where the #import "Captuvo.h" line belonged. Once that was done I opened the Quick Scan apps build settings and under Objective-C Bridging Header I added the path Quick Scan/Quick-Scan-Bridging-Header. I also added the Header Search Path $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)
After I did all this I am able to use the Captuvo classes in my ViewController.swift file.
I just followed a tutorial https://medium.com/#PyBaig/build-your-own-cocoa-touch-frameworks-in-swift-d4ea3d1f9ca3 for creating your own cocoa touch framework. There is one step where you need to right click a framework and it shows in finder, but it is not working for me. I can right click any other file and show in finder just fine. Any suggestions on how to find the framework file for dragging into another project?
well according to some apple doc I found:
Note: The standard locations for frameworks are the
/System/Library/Frameworks directory and the /Library/Frameworks
directory on the local system.
If it isn't in those directories, it is probably some custom path that would be specified on the CC line in the build output, and if you were really hard up, you could click the diff editor on the Xcode project and search for something.Framework, where something is the framework you are looking for.
... it is also possible that it is a framework that is build by a sub-project, and for whatever reason, it haven't been built yet.
So every time I update my app, Xcode claims not to be able to find a particular external framework even though it's there. It's happened again with Xcode 6 and my usual methods (I'm fairly inexperienced, so these basically involve clicking and typing things until something happens (I exaggerate but not by much)) aren't working.
I'm getting a Lexical or Preprocessor Issue error that says 'Parse/Parse.h' file not found.' But here are screenshots of it in the project and added to the library:
I also followed the steps in the most upvoted answer at ‘ld: warning: directory not found for option’ but still nothing.
Any idea what to do? Any idea at all? I'm tearing my hair out here.
Actually I was facing the same problem but after doing lots of (removing/adding parse framework) efforts I come to know that parse.framework is already added and error was still there.
Real Problem was not in link Binary for main project but it was with Tests link Binary.
Lets say your project name is "project1" and Xcode create one more folder with it called "project1Tests". So select "project1Tests" and add parse.framework in link Binary.
Check out the hierarchy:
PROJECT
project1
TARGETS
project1
project1Tests (you need to select this to add parse framework).
Hope this would help you resolve this issue.
I had this error also. I'm developing in Swift, so I added a "bridge header" as described in this Parse blog post.
The reason I got the "Parse.h not found" was that my project name contained spaces. (For project name I mean the Product Name you enter when creating a new project, which determines your folder's name.) The first day all went well, but after closing and opening Xcode, it turns out that Xcode interprets the words separated by spaces as different paths.
To fix this, you can go to Build Settings -> Search Paths -> Framework Search Paths and add an "\" before each space. (If you double click the path you'll see that Xcode shows each word separated by space as a different entry.)
Also note that the bridge header with #import <Parse/Parse.h> it's not compulsory: you can simply do import Parse.
All I had to do was remove Parse.framework from this list by highlighting and pressing delete.
Then I went down to the plus sign at the bottom of that list and had to select Add Other and manually locate the downloaded .framework file.
In my case, the error went away after I added the path to the directory where Parse.framework was to the Frameworks Search Paths Build Setting:
My project didn't even have an entry for that setting, so you may need to create it as well.
I had the same issue when upgrading parse to 1.4v. You have to delete Parse.framework from Framework List and from the project directory, when removed from both places copy again and check "Copy items to destination's group folder". It worked for me.
Its work for me.
Just go to Build Active Architecture Only and Debug should be yes and Release should be No
In my case I had to do one more thing additional to Sukhchais' answer.
It seems that though the parse.framework appears in the 'link Binary with Libraries' list for the targets, they might not have linked properly for some reason. Just remove parse.framework from the list and add it again as mentioned. By that way I was able to resolve my issue.
Just to Share my findings in case if somebody might have the same issue:
Accidentally we had two references of Parse.framework inside our source code base at two different places. And a reference of Parse.framework was linked in Build Phases of the target, from the first place. But when the app is compiled, Xcode was not smart enough to get a reference and trowed an error: "Lexical or Preprocessor Issue" error when "Parse/Parse.h" is imported in .pch file.
After spending couple of hours by trying various options, removed a reference of Parse.framework from the source base and kept only a single reference. This solved the issue.
And the app compiled successfully :)
For people coming from Ionic + Cordova if you are getting this error I solved it by removing my current parsePlugin and replacing it with this fork.
For simplicity, I used these console commands (Replace PARSE_APP_ID and PARSE_CLIENT_KEY with your keys in the Parse Console):
cordova plugin rm com.parse.cordova.core.pushPlugin
cordova plugin add https://github.com/grrrian/phonegap-parse-plugin --variable APP_ID=PARSE_APP_ID --variable CLIENT_KEY=PARSE_CLIENT_KEY
Ok, so I was having this problem as well. I uninstalled all my pods, reinstalled them again, and had no luck.
So the good news (and bad news considering the time I spent trying to find the problem) is that I eventually managed to solve it. Apparently, you have to import Foundation/Foundation.h before parse. I don't know whether this will work for you or not, but I tried everything on the net, and only this seemed to work. If you have any instances of this:
#import <Parse/Parse.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
flip it around so that Foundation is declared first:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <Parse/Parse.h>
I also read somewhere that some people had issues with Facebook SDK and Parse SDK import. Apparently, the two have Bolt.Framework in common or something, which causes error. I removed Facebook SDK as well, which at first didn't make any difference. I hope I could help.
This just started happening with my project and I have no idea what to do.
I've been using the Parse framework and everything has been fine so far. But now, even though the library is included:
and linked:
I still get a "'Parse/Parse.h' file not found" error when I import it into classes. Even weirder (at least to me), the project still builds and runs. When I build or clean the project, the warning disappears, but then it reappears right away.
Any idea how I can fix this?
For all who have not found issue:
Go to Build settings and search for "Framework Search Paths", then remove everything and put ./ and make it recursive (by double-clicking on it)
IMPORTANT - Don't download Parse framework on Windows and then copy to Mac! inside framework there are some links and while copying they get corrupted. Download the framework directly from Mac and when added to xcode make sure it has "Headers" folder under it in XCode frameworks.
I hope it helps some people.
have you tried by changing the #import "Parse/Parse.h" to #import ?
The compiler will search for the header files in a special search path. In your case, it seems that the file "Parse/Parse.h" is not in your compiler's header file search path. Check this in your compiler settings.
How many targets do you have? If more than one, maybe the debug target doesn't include the framework.
I have the same problem when I use the demo called "TodoTable", and I solve this by deleting the link in target -> Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries -> Parse.framework, and then, adding it again. You may do it by clicking + button, and choosing Add other..., then, in the project folder, you can find the Parse.framework file. After that, rebuilding your project, and it will be ok.
I am trying to import the NYXImagesKit library in to my iOS 5.1 project but it will not show up as importable code. It cannot find the library. I have dragged the NYXImagesKit library in to the project and added the libraries. I have also added the following to my build phases:
However I still get an error saying it cannot find NYXImagesKit.h when i try to import it.
NYXImagesKit can be found from here: https://github.com/Nyx0uf/NYXImagesKit
Ive used this in a previous project so I know that it works.

header search paths:
You are not having an issue with "importing" the library proper. (I would not like to appear pedantic, but a library is linked, not imported). The issue you are having is with the header file which comes with the library.
To fix it, you should make sure to add the path to NYXImagesKit.h in your project build sentting (Search Headers Path). This can by found under Build options in your project settings.
Alternatively, an easier way is to add the NYXImagesKit.h file to your project (like any .m file). Then it will be found without the need to specify an header search path.
EDIT:
Since from what you report, everything seems ok, he only idea I can come up with is making sure that the paths are defined for your target (as opposed to the project overall); but I guess it is already like that.
Other than that, only resort is thinking that the project got corrupted somehow. You can inspect the project.pbxproj file inside your .xcodeproj document with a text editor and ensure that everything looks fine.
If everything fails, just start over with a new project.
