Xcode 6 Cocoa Touch Framework Project Can't Find Public Headers - cocoa-touch

I'm having major issues trying to get Xcode to find any public header files in my Cocoa Touch framework project in Xcode 6. I have a very explicit folder structure within my framework project directory that goes something like this:
APIKit -> DataModels -> User -> APIUser.h
The "DataModels" directory is where I put all of my model objects and every object subtype will have its own sub-directory within DataModels (e.g. like APIUser above). Importing the above file in my APIKit.h header file looks like the following:
#import <APIKit/DataModels/User/APIUser.h>
However, for whatever reason, Xcode cannot find that dang file! Looking at my list of public headers from the project settings shows that the directory I outlined above is 100% correct. Does this make sense to anyone?
Update: Even #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> can't be found in my APIKit.h header file -- crazy!

don't forget to link the binaries in Xcode under build phases or are you saying xCode cannot find them in link section.

How to properly add System Header Search Paths in Xcode

I'm having a problem getting the 'System Header Search Paths' in build settings to work in Xcode and allow me to use #import <Core/CoreBlocks.h> rather than a local copy and #import "CoreBlocks.h"
First I need to "frame" the problem.
I have built a framework that I use across many if not all my projects. This is Core.framework . Inside the framework is the requisite "Headers" directory and within that 40 other headers, all of which are included in the 41'st header Core.h
I drop the Core.framework into another project and the other project headers or source files then import:
#import <Core/Core.h>
and get all the functionality of the 40 modules in the framework. Works fine.
BUT, what I need is a simple way to run the 40 modules of Core.framework outside the framework construct, as a separate build or project, with just the source and breakpoints, so I can debug and enhance it.
I try to define the framework's source directory as a search path for the other project:
yet the compiler complains about the inability to find the headers in the source code:
is all I get for all of the imports even though they all reside in the lower Core directory below that path:
~/Development/Projects/Core/Core/Core/NSRange+Core.h
And that's where I'm at a loss. What am I doing wrong?
Found out why... Xcode for some reason can't use the *nix home directory notation in a pathname.
In other words while:
~/Development/Projects/Core/Core
does not work, the expanded equivalent:
/Users/BC/Development/Projects/Core/Core
does work in the Xcode system header search paths, yet it is not obvious as to why...

Xcode cannot find header files when files added in folder reference mode

I am trying to add many Objective-C files to my Swift project with folder reference mode that means when I drag and drop my files into project I am selecting "Create Folder Reference".
This is because all of my obj-c files use #include "/folder/folder/folder/" for example. These files are generated with j2objc project.
Now my problem is when I want to #import or #include some .h of these files in myproject-Bridging-Header.h Xcode can't find the header files.
I use #import "/folder/folder/folder/" like generated files but no chance.
I add $(PROJECT_DIR)/ in build settings - search header paths but it does need to write path completely like $(PROJECT_DIR)/folder/folder/folder/.
Is there any way to set main folder and Xcode find subfolders ? Or do I need to write every path separately ?
I found the answer after many days by myself!
When I drag and drop my files to my project in Xcode in mode "Create Folder Reference", just a reference to the files is added to Xcode and the files were in their folder where in my Mac.
I resolve this problem by add files to project's folder manually and then drag and drop from that location to Xcode. After that, I could access my file by its address in myproject-Bridging-Header.h like #import "/folder/folder/folder/file.h"

Xcode static file headers not being copied

I've been refactoring an existing app so that some of the objective-c can be re-used in a new app by creating a static library. I've never done this before so I followed the raywenderlich tutorial here
It all works OK except I don't get any header files in the products folder (as per the tutorial) This means that when I link the projects the compiler complains that the header files aren't found. My built project and the output folder are shown in the screen shot below:
I'm sure its something simple but I can't work out what I'm missing - any ideas would be appreciated

umbrella header for module 'myFramework' does not include header 'otherFramework.h'

My Swift / iOS9 framework 'viewer_protocol' uses another and external Objective-C framework (CocoaAsyncSocket). I'm using Carthage to build CocoaAsyncSocket. So far everything works fine: In have an example App inside my framework Xcode Project using my framework without any problems.
Now I want to use my Framework in a different Xcode Project - although using Carthage. I include only my Framework as a dependency and Carthage automatically resolves the dependencies to CocoaAsyncSocket. I embedded both frameworks into this new Xcode Project and build my App: Everything works fine here - except one warning I can't rid off:
/Users/John/Repositories/my_project/<module-includes>:1:1:
Umbrella header for module 'my_project' does not include header 'GCDAsyncSocket.h'
This is my framework header:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
//! Project version number for my_project.
FOUNDATION_EXPORT double my_projectVersionNumber;
//! Project version string for my_project.
FOUNDATION_EXPORT const unsigned char my_projectVersionString[];
// In this header, you should import all the public headers of your framework
using statements like #import <my_project/PublicHeader.h>
#import <CocoaAsyncSocket/CocoaAsyncSocket.h>
As you can see CocoaAsyncSocket.h is imported. Furthermore inside my framework the CocoaAsyncSocket.h file is included:
What I am missing here? I'm using several others external frameworks inside my framework, there're no warnings for them - all of these external frameworks are written in Swift - CocoaAsyncSocket is pure Objective-C.
This is my frameworks module.modulemap:
framework module my_project {
umbrella header "my_project.h"
export *
module * { export * }
}
module viewer_protocol.Swift {
header "my_project-Swift.h"
}
Update
I found a solution: Changing the import statement in my framework header from
#import <CocoaAsyncSocket/CocoaAsyncSocket.h>
to
#import "CocoaAsyncSocket/CocoaAsyncSocket.h"
Now Xcode finds the header file and the warning disappears.
I recently ran into same issue. Apparently I had header file set as public in target membership, but it was not exposed in umbrella header. Fixed issue by making header file with project access instead of public.
I had the same issue. Seemed to be related to old build files.
The standard Xcode problem fixer worked for me:
Clean project (Product > Clean Build Folder)
Deleted derived data
Restart Xcode
I had the same issue today
Umbrella header for module 'HockeySDK' does not include header 'BITHockeyBaseViewController.h'
and the solution was
1.build and run project and go-to Report Navigator
2.look at the warning, click to expand details
it will so you the file name where you need to make change
as you can seen in below screen shot
So i just updated my import statement in AppDelegate.m file
New
#import "HockeySDK/HockeySDK.h"
Old
#import <HockeySDK/HockeySDK.h>
and issue gone..
hope this will help someone. who are coming here for solution.
For me the solution was as follows:
1) Each Objective C framework has 1 header file that contains all the:
#import ...
#import ...
#import ...
2) Make sure that this file imports the missing header.
3) Build the project again, it should remove the warning.
Alternatively, you may have exposed files within the Public area of your framework's build phases that should actually be moved back to the Project area.
If you don't want those files to be within your framework's umbrella header so they're publicly accessible, you can revert this.
Goto Framework -> Target -> Build Phases and drag to move the unnecessary header files from Public to Project.
Just for completeness if your header is set to public in :
Build Phases > Headers
You should either
Include the import in your main header as others have mentioned
OR
Move that header to "private" if it doesn't need to be exposed
We got this recently and it was due to corruption in DerivedData. Deleting that folder fixed the problem.
For others :
In my case I already move the headers I want to expose from my framework, from "project" to "public" (Build phases of the framework target)
Then Xcode gave my this warning.
Xcode is telling us that we also need to add #import "name of header in the warning> in the public header file that was created with framework, so the clients (of the framework) will know this header.
So The Fix:
1.go to the framework public header file.(the one what created by xcode when you created the framework) .
2. add #import "the-name-of-the-header-in-the-warning.h"
In my case (Obj-c framework):
Umbrella header for module 'opus' does not include header 'opus_multistream.h'
I needed to change:
#import opus.opus_defines;
into
#import opus;
(I don't have in #import "....h" or #import <....h> for frameworks)
Take a look at this post:
#import vs #import - iOS 7
It goes over the concepts of the new module importing.
I had my own custom framework and after adopting the new method to import objective-c framework
old:
#import <MyFramework/MyFramework.h>
new:
#import MyFramework;
it took care of the warning/
Deleting DerivedData did the trick for me. Try running the below command and see if it works.
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
trying to fix a archive build error led me to this error and post
my solution was real simple but took forever for me to figure out.
when i ran $ pod install it generated a workspace for me in the same dir as my .xcodeproj file.
however i had already created a workspace to use as its parent directory.
so then i simply deleted my old workspace and went with the one that pods created
hope this helps someone!
glhf!
For me the fix was rather simple, commit all your changes and build again. The warning disappeared.

header file not display in xcode project

I'am a newcomer to cocoa developement and i have not yet got used to.
When use eclipse for java development, we can see all the added jars source file if we attached the source files.
But in xcode, we add a framework such as "Cocoa.framework",there is only one Cocoa.h file we can see.
eg:
I clone the 'Sonora' source code from github for study.
there is one line
#import "SNRFileCopyManager.h"
exist in SNRFileImportOperation.h file
Both the SNRFileImportOperation.h and SNRFileCopyManager.h can be found in Sonora/Classes directory.
But, i can see the SNRFileImportOperation.h file in xcode project only and they get work fine together, Why this non third party header file not display in it's own project?
I know something about the dependency setting adn header search paths.
Any one give me a guidance or some references of the code management|organization?
Thanks a lot.
The file SNRFileCopyManager.h is found because it is in one of the include search paths. If you select a header file in Xcode and look at the info panel on the right side you can see that it doesn't actually belong to any target, they are shown more or less regardless. Though, building a framework you can select header files to be included into the framework when building. So, you can just pull in your header files into Xcode.
