iOS Cocoapods issue: No such module in parts of my project (custom folder & Apple Watch target)

Question

I have trouble installing following cocoapod correctly: github.com/drmohundro/SWXMLHash

Interestingly enough, I can access the framework "SWXMLHash" installed by the pod in my regular ViewController.swift but cannot access it in my Apple Watch Extension files. Furthermore, I cannot access it in a custom group/folder I made to encapsulate the helper methods like WebServiceHelper.swift

Overview of my folder structure (Image link)

I can easily import and use the framework provided by the pod in my ViewController.swift for iPhone . But when I try to access it outside the folder containing "ViewController.swift" / "AppDelegate.swift" I get following error:

No such module 'SWXMLHash'

Error when I try to access the framework in my "myAppName Kit"-folder (Image link)

My Podfile:

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '8.0'
# Uncomment this line if you're using Swift
use_frameworks!

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'

pod 'SWXMLHash', '~> 2.1.0'

target 'myAppName' do

end

target 'myAppNameTests' do

end

target 'myAppNameUITests' do

end

target 'myAppName Watch' do

end

target 'myAppName Watch Extension' do

end

Thank you very much for your help!

Answer 1

please make podfile like this

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '8.0'
# Uncomment this line if you're using Swift
use_frameworks!

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'



target 'myAppName' do
pod 'SWXMLHash', '~> 2.1.0'
end

target 'myAppNameTests' do

end

target 'myAppNameUITests' do

end

target 'myAppName Watch' do
pod 'SWXMLHash', '~> 2.1.0'
end

target 'myAppName Watch Extension' do
pod 'SWXMLHash', '~> 2.1.0'
end

Answer 2

Here's how I think your Podfile should look ( note that I only specified the iOS and Watch targets for clarity, you'll need to include whichever ones are necessary with the correct platform for each):

use_frameworks!

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

target 'myAppName' do
    platform :ios, '8.0'
    pod 'SWXMLHash', '~> 2.1.0'
end

# snipped...

target 'myAppName Watch' do
    platform :watchos, '2.0'
    pod 'SWXMLHash', '~> 2.1.0'    
end

I didn't add it for every one of them, but note that the :platform is specified differently for the watch target. You don't want the ios target at the global level.

Hope this helps.
