ld: framework not found Stripe for architecture x86_64

Question

I have an iOS component which relies on the Stripe iOS SDK, Project A. I included the Stripe SDK in Project A in Xcode and it compiles fine.

However, I\'m building

Answer 1

Noticed this problem while switching some dependencies from pods to carthage. Similar to Honey's answer, I was able to get around this error modifying the podfile.

Turns out all I had to add was the test target. Then run 'pod install', and it will link your test target to your the frameworks generated by your pods.

target 'Project' do
  use_frameworks!

  //pods here normally

  target 'ProjectTests' do
   //nothing in here
  end
end

Answer 2

I had to do two things to get this working:

1. Add "$(SRCROOT)/../.." (since Project B lives two folders deep inside Project A) to "Framework Search Paths" under Build Settings -> "Search Paths" for the Project B target.

2. Add the Stripe SDK to Project B's frameworks as well. This second step in particular surprised me because Project B does not rely directly upon Stripe.

Answer 3

I was seeing this same issue with another framework while running my test target. I had to add the framework to my test target (not only my normal target) under Build Phases > Link Binary With Libraries section.

Carthage has more info about the issue I saw: https://github.com/carthage/carthage#adding-frameworks-to-unit-tests-or-a-framework

Answer 4

Did you run into this issue when you ran your test cases?

So this is how my podfile looks like:

def shared_pods
    pod ‘GoogleMaps', '~> 1.13.0'
    pod ‘SwiftyJSON', '~> 2.3.2'
    pod ‘Alamofire', '~> 3.2.1'
    pod ‘MGSwipeTableCell’
end

target 'projectName' do
   shared_pods
end

So then I added this to podfile:

target ‘ProjectTests’ do
    pod ‘Nimble’, ‘~> 4.0.0’
    pod ’Quick’
end

What I also needed to do was:

target ‘ProjectTests’ do
    shared_pods // I needed to add this line as well. Since this line included the needed 'MGSwipeTableCell' framework 
    pod ‘Nimble’, ‘~> 4.0.0’
    pod ’Quick’
end

So a possible reason would be that in your podfile you didn't add them correctly, just be sure that the framework is added into the necessary targets.
