ios - Auto-Linking framework not found

Question

I have forked a framework called BTNavigationDropdownMenu (swift project for ios). all worked fine till I tried to add a dependency to the latest version in the branch I created. the problem is the same whether I add the other framework (DYBadge) through a podfile or through Carthage.

Auto-Linking framework not found DYBadge.

It seems to have a problem with a UIView extension that is part of DYBadge.

DYBadge works fine in my main app I'm working on (I also need it in the app target).

errors below. thanks for any hints into the right direction.

ld: warning: Auto-Linking framework not found DYBadge Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "(extension in DYBadge):__ObjC.UIView.getBadge() -> DYBadge.DYBadge?", referenced from: Demo.BTNavigationDropdownMenu.updateBadge(text: Swift.String, at: Swift.Int) -> () in BTNavigationDropdownMenu.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Xcode is not able to find your frameworks because the FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS is probably not set or is wrong (happened to me because I moved the Info.plist file).

You can fix this by going into your target and adapt the Build Settings. Simply search in there for FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS and add the correct one, which is usually $(PROJECT_DIR)/Carthage/Build/iOS (for iOS projects). $(inherited) should also be in there as the first entry.
