ld: framework not found Parse Xcode 7 beta

Here is the solution:

There seems to be an issue with Xcode 7 beta where the search path for manually added frameworks is missing.

To fix the issue add the search path by doing the following:

  1. Select Project
  2. Click on Targets
  3. Click Build Settings
  4. Search for: Framework Search Path
  5. Add $(PROJECT_DIR) and choose Recursive option.

The project should build now.

None of the proposed solutions worked for me. Eventually I found that the solution was to drag the frameworks from a source folder that did not have spaces in it's name.

E.g.

  • Dragging the frameworks from 'iOS SDKS' > did not work
  • Dragging the frameworks from 'Downloads' > worked

It's not the first time that XCode has been shown to be problematic when working with paths that contain spaces.
