Xcode can't find Alamofire, error: No such module 'Alamofire'

Question

I'm trying to include Alamofire in my Swift project following the github(https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire#cocoapods) instruction.

I've created a new project, navigated to the project directory and run this command sudo gem install cocoapods. Then I faced following error:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)
    Operation not permitted - /usr/bin/pod

After searching I managed to install cocoapods by running this command sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

Now I generate a pod file by pod init and edited it this way:

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'


target 'ProjectName' do
  # Comment this line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!


  # Pods for Law
    pod 'Alamofire'
  target 'ProjectNameTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end


  target 'ProjectNameUITests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end


end

Finally I run pod install to install Alamofire. After that I open the project and import Alamofire statement gives me following error No such module 'Alamofire'

Update-1: Results of pod install is:

Analyzing dependencies
Downloading dependencies
Using Alamofire (3.4.0)
Generating Pods project
Integrating client project
Sending stats
Pod installation complete! There is 1 dependency from the Podfile and 1 total pod installed.

according to: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/123614?answerId=683594022#683594022

• close XCode
• open Finder app and show there "Applications"
• right click on icon Xcode and click on "Get info" (or something similar)
• there is checkbox "Open with Rosseta" (or something similar). Select it
• run Xcode again and try to build

it worked for me hope it works for you.

Answer 2

go to Product -> Scheme -> Manage Schemes... and check Alamofire true this work for me

Answer 3

Open the .xcworkspace not the .xcodeproj

Answer 4

Sometimes with no reason xcode can't load a module Alamofire. It can happen after a work session, after opening a project. The fix for this is to select a schema -> Alamofire, and run. If the message is "Successful", the schema can be changed back to project and it will work with no problems.

Answer 5

I suggest you to change your pod file like this below:

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '8.0'
# Uncomment this line if you're using Swift
 use_frameworks!

pod 'Alamofire', '~> 3.0' <<<----  Alamofire library is cross beetween projects

target 'NotifyM' do

end

target 'NotifyMTests' do

end

target 'NotifyMUITests' do

end 

Another thing is use_frameworks! you should use this if the project is Objective-C based and try to use Swift pod library.

UPDATE: for the new cocoapods version 1.x the shared library should be like this:

# There are no targets called "Shows" in any Xcode projects
abstract_target 'Shows' do
  pod 'ShowsKit'
  pod 'Fabric'

  # Has its own copy of ShowsKit + ShowWebAuth
  target 'ShowsiOS' do
    pod 'ShowWebAuth'
  end

  # Has its own copy of ShowsKit + ShowTVAuth
  target 'ShowsTV' do
    pod 'ShowTVAuth'
  end
end

as indicated into cocoapods website :http://guides.cocoapods.org/using/the-podfile.html

Answer 6

you have to clean project and build, before you can import that library.
