I'm trying to import Firebase after installing Cocoapods via terminal but i'm getting the following error message:

Could not build Objective-C module 'Firebase

Can someone help me out with this?

This is my Podfile content:

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

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

  # Pods for Login_test
    pod 'Firebase/Core'
end

  • This is unlikely to be enough detail for anyone to provide a useful answer. Describe what you did and what happened. – Paul Beusterien Feb 11 '18 at 02:13
  • Try Shift+Option+Command+K to clean the build folder and rebuild again. Additionally, you might want to post your Podfile. – Adrian Feb 11 '18 at 04:11
  • Paul Beusterien, See the steps that i've taken below: 1. I've installed Firebase with Cocoapods using the terminal according to the following installation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEAjvNRdZa0&spfreload=10 2. I tried to import the Module in Xcode and it gave me this error. Also when i try to build the app with the simulator i'm getting the error that it can't find FirebaseAnalytics. – Chike Kotzebue Feb 13 '18 at 08:52

Assuming that you have installed FireBase properly via CocoaPods. Try the following steps

Step 1 - Close Xcode

Step 2 - Clear your derived data. You can find your derived data in here 

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

Step 3 - Open your .xcworkspace

Step 4 - Clean your project (⌘+Shift+K)

Step 5 - Build your project (⌘+B)

Hope this helps.

  • This did not help. I get the same error message. Error message; Could not build Objective-C module 'Firebase. Also when i try to build the app i get the following error message: Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation). When i reveal it in Log i see the following: Framework not found Firebaseanalytics. – Chike Kotzebue Feb 12 '18 at 01:16
  • Can you install firebase again with cocoapods and try again? It will be great if you show us your Podfile contents. – Rizwan Ahmed Feb 12 '18 at 03:00
  • Hi Rizwan, This is my Podfile content: # Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project platform :ios, '9.0' target 'Login_test' do # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks use_frameworks! # Pods for Login_test pod 'Firebase/Core' end – Chike Kotzebue Feb 12 '18 at 16:10
  • Do you also have the correct info instructions for installing cocoapods and Firebase? See my Podfile contents in my question at the top! – Chike Kotzebue Feb 12 '18 at 16:17
  • @ChikeKotzebue Try installing the Firebase pod with updated cocoapods (v1.5.0 or higher). Cocoapods team has released a new version of cocoapods now. – Rizwan Ahmed Jul 06 '18 at 06:51

for beginners:

make sure you read the message after installing the Pod, you need to close the xcode project and use the .xcworkspace for this project from now on.

For me the issue was simple. I have a new m1 mac and it has trouble loading cocoa pods sometimes. Simply click your pods project(blue pods)->Click all & build settings ->Excluded architectures -> add "arm64" to both debug and release -> set any SDK on left side -> do this on your main project folder too -> build it your good to go

See Example
