Adding RealmSwift as a subproject: Missing required modules: 'Realm.Private', 'Realm'

Question

So I wanted to link to RealmSwift in my own framework and these are the steps I took:

1. Add RealmSwift as a subproject

   

2. Link the framework:

   

3. Add the dependency

   

4. Import RealmSwift into the Swift file:

   

And I got the error: Missing required modules: 'Realm.Private', 'Realm'. How can I solve this issue? Thanks!

Answer 1

You'll need to add /path/to/RealmSwift.framework/Frameworks to the “Framework Search Paths” section in Build Settings

where /path/to/RealmSwift.framework is the location of the framework.

This is because RealmSwift.framework depends on Realm.framework (where the Realm and Realm.Private modules are defined), which is vendored in its Frameworks directory.

Answer 2

As of Realm v0.93.0, RealmSwift.framework no longer embeds Realm.framework. This causes the same missing module error message when you upgrade. You can resolve it by linking directly to both RealmSwift.framework and Realm.framework. You'll also need to remove any pre-existing strip-frameworks.sh Run Script Phase in your app's target's Build Phases. This step is no longer needed.

Something similar happened to me when I did the pod install...

Make sure you open the appname.xcworkspace file not the appname.xcodeproj after doing the pod-install with CocoaPods.

The error No such module 'RealmSwift' will occur from any file where 'import RealmSwift' is set up if not opened from appname.xcworkspace.
