ld: framework not found Parse Xcode 7 beta

Question

I succeed to install and use Parse framework with my new project, but I can't with a "template project".

The template is just a Slide Menu from Appcoda

You can download the project here. I have this error :

ld: framework not found Parse
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

And the same for Bolts.

I don't understand what the problem is, the initial project is just some View Controllers...

When I write the code "import Parse", the error message is :

No such module 'Parse'

I tried to drag and drop the frameworks, and also to add the frameworks in "Link Binary With Libraries".

PS : I am using Xcode 7 beta, and I tried on beta 1 and 2, same issue.

Answer 1

Here is the solution:

There seems to be an issue with Xcode 7 beta where the search path for manually added frameworks is missing.

To fix the issue add the search path by doing the following:

1. Select Project
2. Click on Targets
3. Click Build Settings
4. Search for: Framework Search Path
5. Add $(PROJECT_DIR) and choose Recursive option.

The project should build now.

Answer 2

None of the proposed solutions worked for me. Eventually I found that the solution was to drag the frameworks from a source folder that did not have spaces in it's name.

E.g.

• Dragging the frameworks from 'iOS SDKS' > did not work
• Dragging the frameworks from 'Downloads' > worked

It's not the first time that XCode has been shown to be problematic when working with paths that contain spaces.

Ensure that Parse is included in the "Link Binary With Libraries" section under "Build Phases".
