Could not build Objective-C module 'JSQMessagesViewController'

Question

I have two projects which both use JSQMessagesViewController, however in one of them I am getting the error: "Could not build Objective-C module 'JSQMessagesViewController'", whereas the other one works fine...There is virtually no difference between the two projects, how do I get JSQMessagesViewController to work because it is essential to my application. Thanks.

did you follow these instructions ? developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/… – Gleich

I did not follow those...I just used cocoa pods to install the required dependencies. All other frameworks work except for this specific one. – Kienan

you want to use objective-c module in swift right ? – Gleich

Yes I do but I thought cocoapods would handle that all in the backend, I mean it worked with other frameworks like firebase and crashlytics... – Kienan

Answer 1

I fixed the problem by going through the following steps:

• Clean the project, including the build cache (Command-Option-Shift-K)
• Removing the pod.lock file and the pods.xcodeproj files
• And then closing Xcode and running pod update again
• Then building again.

Side Note: Running Xcode 7.3.1 - Just cleaning the project and including the build cache solved the problem for me! – Anticlimax

When you say 'remove the pods.xcodeproj files' . Do you mean just remove the pods.xcodeproj file ? or remove it and all the other files located in the same directory ? – Delaunay

@Delaunay Hopefully you already figured it out but I meant just the pods.xcodeproj file – Kienan

@AhadSheriff I am getting same problem in Xcode 8 and my code is written in Swift 2.3 I tried according to your answer , I could not get success.may you guide me little bit. – Aiello

This solution does not work for me also. I'm integrating MSGraphSDK_NXOAuth2Adapter. – Dizzy

You sir is a genious! – Afghan

deleting .lock and .xcodeproj file will not harm to an existing project? – Kunkle

It would appear that my issue was that I had upgraded Cocoapods to 1.8.0.beta.1 because, you know...shiny new. Going back to 1.7.5 got me back up and running with no errors. – Shayne

Answer 2

try to install the latest version of JSQMessagesViewController which is on develop right now through (pod 'JSQMessagesViewController', :git => 'https://github.com/jessesquires/JSQMessagesViewController.git', :branch => 'develop') it worked for me ..
