Framework did not have a CFBundleIdentifier in its Info.plist

Question

I was having issues with my Bridge.h imports finding their intended targets after a cocoapods install and run.

I had:

#import <TPKeyboardAvoiding/TPKeyboardAvoidingScrollView.h>
#import <DateTools/DateTools.h>

But it didnt work because my Headers folder was empty, so I copied those two folder into the Headers folder and hardcoded the path:

#import </Users/username/Documents/new_ios/ios-app/Pods/Headers/TPKeyboardAvoiding/TPKeyboardAvoidingScrollView.h>
#import </Users/username/Documents/new_ios/ios-app/Pods/Headers/DateTools/DateTools.h>

This worked and the app built but when I ran it it gave this error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (LaunchServicesError error 0.)

Here is the console output:

The initiall error that I have looks alot like this stuff: Unable to run app in Simulator: An error was encountered while running (Domain = LaunchServicesError, Code = 0) I tried all the clean builds and the reboots suggested but none worked. Also all the sharekit solutions also did not work because I do not have sharekit.

EDIT 1

My guess is this: Frameworks/TPKeyboardAvoiding.framework did not have a CFBundleIdentifier in its Info.plist} is the real problem and I need to change my info.plist file to find TPKeyboardAvoiding

EDIT 2

My info.plist:

EDIT 3

This question is a problem that arose after I tried to workaround the problem which I ran into before which is described in this question: Empty Pod Headers Folder after `pod install`

Answer 1

For me cleaning the build folder worked. In Xcode, hold alt Product -> Clean Build Folder..

Let me know if it works for you!

Answer 2

I had to close xcode and delete derived data. Just delete this folder

rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/

---

None of these approaches worked for me

1. gem uninstall cocoapods, gem install cocoapods and pod install
2. pod install
3. clean xcode using cmd+k
