Encountering the “No such module” error in Xcode can be frustrating, especially when you are certain the framework is included in your project. This guide will help you diagnose and fix this common issue by outlining several potential solutions.
Common Causes and Solutions
Below are some of the most effective solutions to resolve the “No such module” error. Follow these steps to ensure your project can correctly locate and utilize the specified modules.
1. Ensure Correct Workspace is Opened
One of the most common mistakes is opening the .xcodeproj file instead of the .xcworkspace file. This can lead to the “No such module” error. Always open the .xcworkspace file when working with CocoaPods or other dependency managers.
2. Verify Framework Search Paths
Navigate to your project’s build settings and ensure that the Framework Search Paths are correctly configured. If the frameworks are placed in your project directory, set the search path to $(SRCROOT) and mark it as recursive.
3. Check Configuration Naming
Make sure that the configuration names in your subprojects match those in the parent project. Xcode requires exact, case-sensitive matches for configurations. For example, if your parent project has a configuration named “AppStore,” the subprojects must also have a configuration named “AppStore.”
4. Update CocoaPods
If you are using CocoaPods, ensure your Podfile includes use_frameworks! if you are working with Swift. After making changes to the Podfile, run pod update in the terminal, then clean and build your project again.
5. Clean Derived Data
Sometimes, residual data can cause issues. Navigate to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData and delete the ModuleCache directory. Perform a clean build of your project afterward.
Additional Tips
- Ensure that all modules have the same iOS Deployment Target as the main app.
- Check that the framework contains a
Modulesfolder with amodule.modulemapfile. - Make sure to build the framework before building the main app if they are in different projects.
