No such module 'Kingfisher'

[KairaKrishna]

Issue Description

I am following steps https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher/wiki/Installation-Guide#manually. And getting 'No such module found 'Kingfisher' error.

What

I wish to add 'Kingfisher' as submodule under my project, and following the steps for manual installation, but getting this error. I have almost tried everything I could try, such as http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29500227/getting-error-no-such-module-using-xcode-but-the-framework-is-there; even I had re-installed latest Xcode (i.e. 8.3), but the issue still persists. I am trying to make it work since 3 days now, but no luck. I am attaching screenshots, just in case, those could help to figure out the error. This sample test app contains only the code visible on screen shot.

Kindly help me out with this.

Thanks.

Just tried to follow the instruction and everything goes fine to me:

So I believe it is something wrong with you dev environment. Could you try to switch the scheme to Kingfisher and build it to see whether there is any error?

[KairaKrishna]

The framework is building successfully, but my sample app is not compiling. Keeps on popping the same error. The actual problem is, in the main project which gets successfully compiled on other mac machines, but the same source code doesn't get compiled on my mac system. Always stuck at the same problem: "No such module 'Kingfisher'"

There could be any other possible system level settings/configuration/environment changes possible that could be affecting the compilation of the same source code? By same source code, I meant: I have compressed the main project and shared to other members, and exactly same code without any changes get compiled successfully.

[onevcat]

Not sure what happened. :[

[onevcat]

It is hard to say where exactly the issue is unless I could reach your environment. But it should be related to framework search path setting somewhere.

Instead of manually installing, could you give a third party dependency manager like CocoaPods or Carthage a try?

[KairaKrishna]

There are multiple dependent submodules under the main project, so I really don't wanna make a mess by changing it to pods. Framework search path variable is set to: $(inherited) $(SRCROOT)

and I have checked with all possible combinations of recursive and non-recursive for both variables.

[onevcat]

:(

Sorry but have no idea now.

[shevakuilin]

I also the same situation

[mnearents]

Same here, installed with cocoapods, won't compile

[achal1012]

I also have the same issue using pods :(

[onevcat]

@shevakuilin @lususvir @achal1012

Thanks for reporting this. However, I have no issue in installing and using it through CocoaPods. Since Kingfisher has passed the pod lint when submitting to CocoaPods, so I believe it might be an issue related to specified development environment. Could you tell me something more about it? Like your CocoaPod and Xcode version.

It would be great help to dig it if you can paste the result of pod env in the project directory here.

Thanks.

[mnearents]

I was one version behind in Xcode and Swift. So I went from 3.1 to 3.1.1 and now it compiles.

[achal1012]

Thank you for replying instantly :) I installed it using pod 'Kingfisher', '~> 3.2.3' and it worked. Here is my pod env:

@lususvir @achal1012

Thanks for confirming that. Although I am note 100% sure about it, but it seems to be an issue with unmatched Swift version and CocoaPods submitting supported version. For everyone later encountered it, I suggest to try to use the latest combination (Swift/Xcode, CocoaPods and Kingfisher) to see whether it could work or not.

Thank you again all.

I had same issue, but I cleaned up my project and after re compile it every thing works well.

[jiafei1986]

I also solved this issue by clean and build the project

[c0dehunter]

I tried clean&rebuild and it didn't help the first 3 times. After shutting down XCode and restarting the computer, opening .xcworkspace fresh up and clean&build, it now works.

Good that I am already used to XCode (iOS?) bugs, reminds me of old days when I was developing microcontroler code in KDevelop.. the worst shit I've ever been working with. And iOS development is getting close to that.

I have almost tried every solution proposed above . But does not help :(

[onevcat]

@pallavi10aggarwal Could you try to upgrade your CocoaPods to 1.6.0 beta? It seems that they fixed some errors for Xcode 10, maybe it is related.

[pallavi10aggarwal]

@onevcat I updated to beta version but no luck , Kindly suggest some other way out .

[pallavi10aggarwal]

@onevcat I even changed my deployment target to iOS 11 . No Luck , the issue still persists

[onevcat]

@pallavi10aggarwal It should be not related to your deployment target.

Is there any detail error information in your build log, except for the "No such module"? Is there any build error inside Kingfisher, or can you find the built Kingfisher.framework in the Products folder of your Pods project?

I also suggest cleaning the derived data folder then restart your Xcode to have a try.

[pallavi10aggarwal]

@onevcat I cleaned my project also removed derived data. along with "No such module" I get this error "Command CompileSwift failed with a nonzero exit code" with the below error description

[onevcat]

Could you just build your Pod project correctly? You could try it by changing your build scheme to Pods-CocoaPods or Kingfisher under the "Pods project" to see whether the framework itself gets built.

[pallavi10aggarwal]

@onevcat the issue got resolved , I exactly don't know what solved it , a number of trials including deleting derived data , restarting Mac , cleaning project build also I observed that frameworks were not there in Products folder under Pods Project , I resolved that too may be that could be the reason . Anyways , Thanks for your support .

[onevcat]

@pallavi10aggarwal Good to hear that!

[Varuas37]

I had the similar issue. I did the following things which solved the problem for me: 1) Closed the xcode project 2) open the terminal in your project file and delete all the pods through pod deintegrate 3) Installed my pods again pod install 4) Restarted my laptop (i am not sure if that made any difference) 5) Open and build my file.

[onevcat]

@Varuas37 Maybe try to build the Pod project first to see what's the error?

[Varuas37]

@onevcat no that solved the problem for me.

[romangromov]

Solved for me by doing this:

You should open the {Project}.xcworkspace instead of the {Project}.xcodeproj after you installed anything from CocoaPods.

This was missed from official doc, also Kingfisher was the first Pod I've added to me project as well as in my entire life.

The only question I have is: WHY I should open {Project}.xcworkspace instead of the {Project}.xcodeproj after adding just 1 Dependency ?

[onevcat]

CocoaPods creates its own Pods.xcodeproj and builds the dependencies there. To refer to them in your app project, you need to load both your app project and the pod project. And the xcworkspace is exactly the thing to handle this: it is a container of multiple projects.

[jacksonsox]

I had this issue when creating a new project. I was installing Kingfisher for iOS development in my pod. What I found is that the default for my project was pointing to Mac deployment (see image). When I changed to an iOS device, it compiled fine.
