TBXML in an iOS 8 extension fails to build - ios

In my iOS app I use TBXML for xml processing, it's not officially updated but it still working fine for me.
I'm trying to create a Today extension for iOS 8 and when I add TBXML as a Compile Source I get the following:
TBXML.h
Before adding the extension, I didn't have any build issue with TBXML.
Any ideas of how can I resolve this?
Thanks

Fixed by adding #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> at the beggining of TBXML.h.
Seems that when working with extension, this file is not imported or is imported later

I always want to know WHY. Why would it work before without the include of foundation and not now? What changed? So I dug a little deeper and found the answer: Prefix headers. Xcode 5 must had automatically added a prefix header as a convenience or something. And the new one doesn't. That old prefix header automatically included Foundation, Availability, and UIKit.
Who knows why they changed it. Maybe it has something to do with swift.
A more detailed answer is at: Unknown type name 'NSError' and others

Cannot find protocol declaration for *** in my 'MyApp-Swift.h'

I am working on a project that up to now, despite the mess, it was working ok. Today, believe it or not, I have been updating it to Swift 5.
The project has iOS and tvOS targets as well as frameworks, tests, and top selves extensions. The project also was started using Objective-C and over the years has become 90% Swift.
I am not sure at what point something went wrong but, when compiling, I get the following error for all my top self extensions (mostly all tvOS Targets).
I have found similar questions but I can't understand whats going on.
Any ideas?
You are probably missing an import StoreKit in the Swift files that define IAPHelper. Sometimes this gets imported transitively, and Swift doesn't necessarily need it, but the Swift bridging header does.
Ultimately you need to make sure there's an ObjC #import StoreKit; that is evaluated before this line of code.
First, I have to thank Rob for his tips. I wish he could get the points!
After troubleshooting with the tips provided:
Add StoreKit to your linked frameworks list. -> Didn't work
#import StoreKit; before #import <...-Swift.h> -> Showed error use of #import when modules are disabled
I also saw that "...-Swift.h" was only declared in the Build settings of my "...Topself" targets. Still quite unsure why as I would have thought the whole project still have ObjC dependencies... Still quite new to this challenge.
Furthermore, If I unfold the error I could see that there was some kind of error trying to find "...-Swift.h" file.
At this point, I remembered that I am using cocoapods (I don't like you, you don't like me relationship) and I hated to see the warning "...Overrides Enable modules (C - Objective-C)" so I set it to default for the whole project.
Turns out that that for all "...TopSelf" targets, the default value is NO.
By Overriding Enable modules (C - Objective-C) to YES, clean, and build, everything started working again.

iOS: #import AnyModule not found after editing class using cocoapods

I have an Obj-C/Swift project setup that imports modules using cocoapods. In any class where I am importing a framework using the #import function I get the error message SomeModule not found. However, when I build/run it compiles fine, and the framework works and functions as expected.
The problem here is that it messes me up when I'm trying to write code below the error (i.e., objects appear as ints because the error above messes up the compiler; function auto complete doesn't work, etc). What's weird, if I cmd+s to save the class, the error messages go away. Then the second I start typing again, they reappear.
I've gone as far as removing all of my cocoapods and reinstalling them, but to no avail. This has only been an issue since installing xcode 8.
Anyone have any insight into this?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for super late response - the only way I found to get around this was to use the "old" style of framework import; i.e., ... it seems like some Frameworks just don't play nicely with the #import declaration. #pablo-martinez
If someone has a better solution please feel free to share.

No such module Parse using Swift in Xcode 7.1

There are several questions addressing this issue already, but all of them (I think) are in reference to earlier versions of Parse using an objective-C bridging header to connect the framework. I am using the latest version of Parse that has support for Swift directly, which is a different setup process.
I've downloaded and added Parse to Xcode in the Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries. The directions on their website are extremely straightforward...download the SDK, add it to Xcode, import it, and done.
Parse seems to be added properly everywhere it should be:
But alas, when I use import Parse, I get a no such module error. I've tried adding the framework search path $(PROJECT_DIR) under Build Settings both recursively and non-recursively, and a few other recommendations from the other questions addressing this issue, but with no luck.
I'm wondering if this could be an issue with Parse or the Xcode beta, since both are extremely new, but I'm assuming the error is on my end, just not exactly sure where to look since the quickstart guide on Parse.com seemed so simple.
Apparently if you drag the Parse library to the 'Link with Binary Libraries' section, you will continue to get this error.
You have to drag Parse to the project navigator for it to properly import.
Since it should work regardless of where you drag it into Xcode, it is possible this could be a problem with the Xcode 7.1 beta or the updated Parse API for Swift support. I'm not entirely sure, but either way, it's a really simple fix, so not a big deal.

Objective C - Swift Bridging issue Xcode 6.3 -Screenshot provided-

So, I found myself craving a framework to replicate iOS 6 folders animation. Luckily I found one called JWFolders, which is pretty neat and useful, but my problem is the following:
I am doing my program in Swift, in Xcode 6.3, I imported the header file to the bridging thingy in the swift compiler settings, and as long as I don't try to use anything from that framework, it doesn't complain, but as soon as I try to use it and compile I get the errors shown in the image below.
(even with a simple declaration like this)
var folder = JWFolders()
So, If anyone was wondering, I got it working. I contacted the developer and asked for help, and he nicely told me I was forgetting to add the source code files ".m" to the source compiling files.
After that it worked.

iOS How to use private API?

I don't want to submit this app to AppStore. I've tried for many times but met so many problems :(
I use class-dump to get all the header files of UIKit.framework. In the UIApplication.h generated by class-dump, I saw the method I want to use----launchApplicationWithIdentifier.
Then I put UIApplication.h in my project and import it. Compile, I got a lot of "Redefinition of enumerator...." error because in the UIKit.framework I use previous, there's another UIApplication.h. But this file doesn't have the method launchApplicationWithIdentifier.
If I delete the previous UIKit.framework and import the folder generated by class-dump. Then it appears like a framework but if I unfold it, it's empty.
Then I want to make all generated header files a framework file ant replace the previous UIKit.framework. But I don't know how. As we can see, under the system framework directory, there's a file which has the same name as the framework and has a 'executed shell script' icon. How can I made this file?
I really got confused. Someone can give me a hand? Thank you.
Just specify the private methods in a category interface above the class implementation where you want to use it, like this:
#interface UIApplication (Private)
- (BOOL)launchApplicationWithIdentifier:(id)identifier suspended:(BOOL)suspended;
#end
Don't import the whole class-dump file and link with the original UIKit framework.
You must be very careful when using private API. These methods can change or be removed in future iOS versions!
Check if the method really exists with respondsToSelector: at runtime and be prepared for the case that it does not exist.
I used a secret MapKit feature in my own application and I knew that the private methods only exist in iOS 5. So my app still works in all iOS versions but this feature is only available in iOS 5 (Apple removed or changed it in iOS 6 beta 1).
