Why it shows "ld: framework not found Bolts"

Question

After I install facebook sdk, when I build my project, it shows:

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F/Users/liyuanliu/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/c5-dsovqtraubbdgxbqrmiexjmlysxq/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Bolts'
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F/Users/liyuanliu/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/c5-dsovqtraubbdgxbqrmiexjmlysxq/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/FBSDKCoreKit'
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F/Users/liyuanliu/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/c5-dsovqtraubbdgxbqrmiexjmlysxq/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/FBSDKLoginKit'
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F/Users/liyuanliu/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/c5-dsovqtraubbdgxbqrmiexjmlysxq/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/FBSDKShareKit'
ld: framework not found Bolts
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

But when I install facebook and bolts, it shows I install them successfully:

pod install
Analyzing dependencies
Downloading dependencies
Using Bolts (1.8.4)
Using FBSDKCoreKit (4.14.0)
Using FBSDKLoginKit (4.14.0)
Using FBSDKShareKit (4.14.0)
Using Firebase (3.4.0)
Using FirebaseAnalytics (3.3.0)
Using FirebaseAppIndexing (1.0.4)
Using FirebaseAuth (3.0.4)

Below is my build phases image :

And below cannot find bolts framework image

I cannot find the FBXXXX.framework

After I add frameworks, it still exits:

you should answer your question instead of editing it. Also please change the title to something along the lines : Bolts framework not found [Xcode 7] or stuff to make it more helpful to future readers — Shubhank, Aug 04 '16 at 06:40

I solved the problem by deleting the ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/xxxx while xcode was closed and then reopened xcode and did a clean + build. All was fixed up when xcode rebuilt the derived data for the project.

Go to Project->TARGETS-Build Phases->Link Binary With Libraries Attach your Bolts library here.

Now click on + button ->

Now Click on Add Other.. Button->Find the FBSDK framework on your computer & attach it. Compile & run your application .

Press Command & Space button , it Open Search Bar on mac , Type FBSDK etc. you will get the location of FB framework. Else you can download FB SDK for iOS here - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/ – Anupam Mishra Aug 04 '16 at 06:14
I just found another way to solve it, see my updates. But still thanks for your suggestions. – Liyuan Liu Aug 04 '16 at 06:35

Finally, I found a solution to solve this problem. In project->targets->build settings->framework search path, there are many paths already existed. I download 4 frameworks(bolts.framework and 3 other FBXXXX.framework) and copy all of them inside one of these existing paths.

The problem is that the suggestion at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/getting-started of not Deselect Copy items into destination group's folder. is not appropriate on Xcode 8.0, the most popular atm. Dragging the frameworks would move them to the new Frameworks folder.

So follow the tutorial but keep the tick on Copy items into destination group's folder

Finally got solution for them if they are using pod

pod 'FBSDKLoginKit', '4.43.0'


pod 'FBSDKCoreKit', '4.43.0'
