Xcode 5.0.2 dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/XCTest.framework/Versions/A/XCTest

Question

I get the following error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/XCTest.framework/Versions/A/XCTest

Answer 1

A solution that worked for me was changing your test target's inherit attribute in your Podfile from :search_paths to :complete. Although this answer suggests that :search_paths is designed for test environments.

target 'myapp' do    
  use_frameworks!

  target 'myappTests' do
    #inherit! :search_paths
    inherit! :complete
  end

end

Answer 2

I have same issue is because i add a new file into the framework. So just run "pod install" solved my issue. But make sure your pod under Tests target too.

Answer 3

Just for the ones that came up with the same issue:

Check on the lateral right menu which has to look like that:

And has not have to look like that:

Answer 4

In my main Target's "Link Binary With Libraries" (under Build Phases), it was the testing framework I was using (Nimble.framework) that was causing the problem. Removed it, and everything's fine!

Answer 5

The problem here is that, according to the dyld error message you posted, your application is linking against XCTest.framework. That's incorrect; only your test bundle needs to link against XCTest.framework since only your test bundle contains tests.

Answer 6

I had similar problem with OCMock library and solution is:

target :"Application Tests", :exclusive => true do
    pod 'OCMock'
end
