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 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.
I Have an iOS application that I am trying to add OCMock to in order to better unit test it. I've followed the instruction on ocmock.org as well as instructions I've found in other places but still I cannot get my test code to compile.
Here's what I've done
Added the source code to my project directory
Create the groups in my project to mimic my file system
I selected the option to add to my test targets so the framework was added appropriately as well as the Library Search Path
Then I manually added the headers to the Header Search Path
And added the -ObjC linker flag
Then when I go to import the header file, I get the file not found error
Any ideas what I am missing here???
You have the search path test/libraries/OCMock. Then you have #import <OCMock/OCMock.h>.
This fails because there is no file test/libraries/OCMock/OCMock/OCMock.h.
You use the search path test/libraries, or you can create a prefix directory to hold OCMock and have the search path point at that.
I generally have a directory with the library name and version number before the actually directory.
The directory test/libraries/OCMock-X.X.X could contain the OCMock directory. That way the search path still be more specific: test/libraries/OCMock-X.X.X and you still use OCMock/OCMock.h as the include.
One more thing to check, for anyone else having this problem - I copied OCMock from one project to another and everything looked right, but it wasn't finding the include file. It turned out that even though I had the right groups in Xcode, the files had all been dumped into one directory. I needed to create folders on disk and associate them with the groups in Xcode. The accepted answer here clued me in to what was wrong (though as is often the case, in hindsight it should have been obvious).
I'm using an external framework (Parse) in my project. Everything runs smoothly when running, testing and analyzing, but archiving and profiling both throw:
Lexical or Preprocesor Issue: 'Parse.Parse.h' file not found
I've remedied issues with other static library/framework .headers not being found during archive in the past by altering the Header Search Paths and User Header Search Paths, but that plan of attack just isn't working here. Namely, I've included
$(BUILD_ROOT)/../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/include"
$(PROJECT_TEMP_DIR)/../UninstalledProducts/include"
$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)
in the Header Search Paths and User Header Search Paths for Build + Release with no result. (I know that's redundant, especially since I've set Always Search User Paths to YES, but I'm trying everything here.) I've tried adding the .h file directly to Copy Bundle Resources in a last ditch effort. Also tried removing and re-adding the framework, cleaning, etc but I've had no luck. Any thoughts much appreciated!
Verify you have
import "Parse/Parse.h"
in your header file.
Try to do a product->Analyze.
Make sure you have added parse.framework and it has all these header files:
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.
