can't import embedded framework with xcode 6 GM

Question

I added a framework target in my project. But when I attempt to import the framework, the compiler will return an error Use of '@import' when modules are disabled. I have already included the arm64 architecture in its Architectures build settings. And I can see the framework in Build Phases. I can import a framework in a new project instead of my current project. Is there any additional config I missed?

Answer 1

Use of '@import' when modules are disabled

Error msg says you are trying to use modules by @import when it is disabled. Goto build settings and enable modules or use #import instead.

Enable it by changing to YES

All the frameworks will not support modules i guess, so you might have to use #import instead – Ecg

what you gotta dig through all the LLVM <X.n> options and set this setting? i would expect nothing less from what I've seen so far with xcode/swift. – Ellaelladine

@import GoogleMobileAds; But I get error saying Module 'GoogleMobileAds' not found. I also installed latest GoogleMobileAds 7.0 from pods – Myrtamyrtaceous

@KumarMaishi I also still have this error. How did you fix it? – Embonpoint

@Embonpoint I fixed this by removing GoogleMobileAds from pods and added by just drag and drop – Myrtamyrtaceous

@MaishiWadhuwani dragging what and where you drop it, i'm confused, can you help me with that, because i'm stuck on this error – Willdon

@PradnyanandMilindPohare Add GoogleMobileAds drag and drop directly in your project. And add in "Linked Framework and Libararies" – Myrtamyrtaceous

Answer 2

For those that still have problems with enabling Modules.

The problem could be that the header file was imported into file.mm file (objective-c++), which is not supported to the @import module syntax.

This is correct! You saved me hours of mucking about! – Nantucket

Answer 3

I have the same problem in Xcode 7. I have found the solution. It's to wrap Google Analytics into Cocoa Class (.m and .h), and use this wrapper from your .mm files. Also you should enable modules in Xcode.
