Why am I getting an error regarding Bolts framework and FacebookSDK when I'm not even using Bolts?

Question

Getting this error

framework not found Bolts for architecture x86_64

Followed Facebook's guide word for word, but the only place I can think of an error with linking happening is in the Build Settings for Framework Search Paths. All I currently am attempting in the app is to add a Facebook Login in button, simply visually to make sure it's loading visually. No method functionality is added, but I can't even build the project in this current state.

Open the project in Xcode.
Go to where you extracted the FacebookSDK. If you're using Mac OSX, it should be available in Documents/FacebookSDK.
Grab the Bolts.framework file and drop into your Frameworks folder in Xcode for your project.

It should build now.

As of 24th of April 2019, the Facebook SDK in Swift repo inside this commit:

Removed Bolts from Swift SDK

So you will have to add Bolts to your pod file. FYI if you're using Swift 5 you will need to use the Bolts in Objc because currently Bolts for Swift only support Swift 4.1.

For Swift 5 in your pod file:

pod 'Bolts'

To answer your question, from Bolts GitHub:

Bolts is a collection of low-level libraries designed to make developing mobile apps easier. Bolts was designed by Parse and Facebook for our own internal use

EDIT / UPDATE:

It looks like Bolts for Swift now support Swift 5.

In my case I opened the project instead of the workspace (using pods)

Opening the `.xcworkspace` instead of the project was the answer to me. I'm working on a project created with React Native. – btx Jul 27 '18 at 15:42

Go to Build Settings of your project.
Search for Framework Search Paths.
Add to debug: "$(inherited)".
Do the same for release.
Re-build the project.

Hope it helps!

You can just do pod update and then open your xcworkspace. Fixed it for me.

Late but might help - add Bolts.Framework - also remember to do as warnings shown during installation

Run "pod update" in terminal (if you not updated)

Remove "Bolts" framework from "Other Linker Flags" (Click on target->Build Settings -> Other Linker Flags)
