I am trying to copy over my Xcode project from one computer to another but it seems to lose frameworks and the locations for the images although i copied those too.
PS I am using xcode and coding an app with a friend. Is there a useful source that can help us both code at once/ transfer code files.
Thanks for the help.
Try transferring everything from plists to the storyboard. I did this with a friend of mine and it only took about 20 minutes for the code to build and run successfully on his own laptop. the biggest issue is going to be transferring the files that Xcode is going to have to search for, and making sure that the search paths match with where you save the new files.
SDK's and images are difficult because of this path issue - make sure you find where the pictures are supposed to be searched for then add the images there.
Just take your time - even write down where each file should go or where you have put it and you should get it working. Best of luck!
You have to select relative paths in your project for your resources/frameworks (e.g. Relative to group). If you have absolute paths, it won't work on a different computer. Also check in the Build Settings of your target the Framework, Library and Header search paths.

I have a Xcode project I got from another developer. Initially when I opened it it has a bunch of errors (most of which were un-updated frameworks). I got it to work after a while and I fixed it. I want pass it back to the manager since I'm leaving uni in a few months. I copied it over to my friends Mac to see what would happen if I just took the project and all it's folders and made it a zipfile. It didn't work for some reason. It gave me an error:
error: using bridging headers with framework targets is unsupported
But why did that come up? I mean it's the same code on the slightly different versions of Xcode (13.1 versos 14.1) but I doubt there was a massive change between the two that would cause this. I want to be able to pass these app later in the future without having to care about this stuff. I made a GitHub (link below) would cloning that work? Also the laptop I chose was just a fresh reset. Would it be due to not having coco-pods installed?
I feel like I could go through and fix it all on that laptop and document that but then I'm afraid that every time I put it on a new one it would come up with random errors every single time making my documentation moot.

With big help this was Fixed.
Things that fixed it.
Having the correct version of Xcode
Turning everything from absolute path to relative
Lots of other code fixes. But those are my project specific.
You don't need bridging headers in framework. Use should have something like "YourFramework.h" where you can import your .h files.
I have a little problem with xcode. I've already seen this question/problem but the answers couldn't help me this time (yes, I've had this problem in the past).
So my problem is, that xcode is not loading my images/external files while testing/running the app.
If I put my images in xcode without folder, so just the images, it loads. But when I put them in a folder (and some sub-folders) , xcode can't find the images anymore when I'm running the app (in the storyboard it can finds them).
I've already cleaned the app and re imported the images.
Also it isn't a problem with just 1 project, if I start an all new fresh project, I have the same problem.
I hope I've explained my problem enough, if there are questions, I'll be more than happy to answer those.
Also if you can help me out, I will be thankful forever! This problem is really slowing down the development of our app.
Have a nice day!
Try putting the images into the .xcassets folder where your AppIcon is. Also, add files individually into the .xcassets and not drag a whole folder of images into the project.
Sorry for the short answer but you could add more information to the question like images of your folder structure and how you call the image
Alright, guys. I'm going freakin' crazy with this one. It is utterly ridiculous that the FacebookSDK causes so many issues. I know there are a couple questions on here regarding this issue, but they all seem to be outdated.
I pulled my Xcode project onto a new computer, and can't build it because I get the "FacebookSDK/FacebookSDK.h" file not found error. There are answers such as This one, but I've followed the steps in every single answer and haven't found one that works. I've just made a fresh pull from my working project from the original machine to the new one. I'll take some screenshots showing my current settings for various fields mentioned in other answers, and maybe I Just have something wonky that is interfering.
Here are the contents of the SDK that I just downloaded
Here are the contents of my Xcode project folder. There isn't anything else Facebook in here.
Here are the frameworks inside my Frameworks group and inside the Link Binary with Libraries section of Build Phases
There are a couple frameworks that are red, and that's OK for now. They were not in the repo, and are instead referenced from Documents or Downloads, and they played nice when I moved the files over and linked them. I just reset my repo to when I pulled it to make sure I didn't have anything from weird stuff I tried that prevents a proper solution from working.
Framework search paths. You can also see that my library search paths is empty. I labeled the stuff I wanted to hide, as it was identifying information
For some reason, my Documents for the new machine is already under the framework search paths. I did not add this myself.
Any ideas on what I can try? This is endlessly frustrating. I've wasted an entire day of development on trying to get Facebooks SDK re-integrated on a new machine.
I was also face the same problem every time I got the checkout for new version from svn.What I did was just removed the Facebook SDK and add again from the backup.It taken me out that time.Please try this might be it works for you.
First of all, I've never worked on iOS, so this may or may not be a stupid question, I don't know :)
I have an iOS App, and I need to run it.
In the 'Project Navigator' I have a folder/package called 'Reuse and Platform Libraries'. Inside, I have another four folders but 3 of them seem like missing.
I am not sure if this is the case. I've tried googling their name but without results so I assume they are not some open source libraries.
Can someone clear this up for me? Do I need to install some XCode packages?
Thanks!
I suggest you search the folder of the project for those files, sometimes when copying a project the paths get screwed up because they were set as absolute paths and not relative paths.
If you can't find the files, it's most likely that the library is a private one used by the previous developers, and usually kept out of the project folder so they probably forgot to send it along. I'd suggest simply asking them to send the files over :).
There is also a slight chance they are not needed to run the file, in which case, just deleting them from the sidebar should make the project run.
I'm having a small issue with xcode (I'm assuming it's mostly due to being unfamiliar with xcode itself) and was hoping someone could lend me a hand.
I'm working with a group of people and we're using the GPUimage framework.
The problem is this:
For every person referencing GPUimage we get additional entries in the build settings for the xcode project.
For example build products path would be:
/Users/username/project/application_name/GPUImage-master/GPUimage.framework
I would rather it be:
/application_name/GPUImage-master/GPUimage.framework
The reason I want to fix this is because we need to package up our application and library together so that whoever wants to use it only needs to open the xcode project file to see what we've done (to mark it, school project).
Can anyone suggest what I should do or look for here?
Try adding the following to the beginning of the user path:
$(SRCROOT)/application_name/GPUImage-master/GPUimage.framework
That should instruct XCode to use the user path of whoever is using the library
Hope this helps!
