ld: library not found for -lAFNetworking xcode

Question

I am a total newbie to ios programming. Cloned a friends project. When trying to build (after resolving a lot of other errors), I get the following error:

ld: library not found for -lAFNetworking
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I checked the Pod file and searched for AFNetworking in the project, and it is there. Don't know what is going wrong.

Answer 1

also make sure you are running the .xcworkspace project (white icon),not the .xcodeproj project (blue icon)

Answer 2

The error message indicates that the library was not found.

Make sure that:

1. You see the AFNetworking in your Pods directory.
2. Your Pods directory is in the search paths. Go to the project -> Build Settings -> Search for 'search paths' and make sure that your Pods directory is there. You can add it by adding "${PROJECT_DIR}/Pods" for example.

Answer 3

add $(inherited) flag to LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS at build settings in Xcode target.
