Could not build Objective-C module 'Firebase'

Hi Everyone,

Can someone help me out with this?

When I compile the application I get an error equal to this: Could not build Objective-C module 'Firebase'

This error appears in "Import Firebase" of my file "ViewController.swift".

There is only one way to solve this issue.

  1. Quit Xcode.
  2. Delete project's temp files located at ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
  3. Delete ProjectName.xcworkspace
  4. Delete Podfile.lock file and Pods folder
  5. Run pod install.
  6. Open the newly created ProjectName.xcworkspace file and build.

  • I'm not using Pod, I am using carthage. However, I am using workspace. Because some frameworks were throwing errors like 'Cannot compile framework compiled with 5.1.3 on 5.2.3 compiler'. :.. Anyone know what could be the issue? I've checked if the header is listed in the public section and it is.

Why does this happen? It's so annoying having to completely re-integrate cocoapods all the time

People are missing this step here "This creates an .xcworkspace file for your app. Use this file for all future development on your application"

Stop using the workspace that you originally created. Close your editor, and open the one that its created after you run pod install. No need to do anything else
