Failed to Import Bridging Header

jon-thornham · February 9, 2017, 9:58pm

I opened two projects today that have worked for months. Both of the projects reported the same error. with different missing files. I’ve listed a number of settings below.

Project 1: error: 'Backendless.h file not found #import "Backendless.h"
Project 1: error: failed to import bridging header


Project 2: error: 'Backendless.h file not found #import "CustomService.h"
Project 1: error: failed to import bridging header

My Bridging Header file includes the following for both projects.

#import "Backendless.h"

I am using CocoaPods for the SDK install. My podfile is shown below.

platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!


target "Instagram" do
    pod 'Backendless'
end

I am running Backendless 3.0.44.
The image below shows the setting for the bridging header under Build Settings.

Any help sorting this out would be appreciated.

Hi Jon,

Does it work on a fresh new project?

Also can you send us at least one of your projects so that we could look into the problem?

I’ve attached a tutorial project I am working on. I have not tried it on a fresh project.

Instagram.zip (20.3MB)

I opened your project and hit “Build”. Here’s the error I am getting. It looks it does not even get to the Backendless part since the bridging header you’re referencing cannot be found.

The project uses version 3.0.43 of the library. The latest release is 3.0.44:

To fix the error, you can comment out lines #89 and #144 in Backendless.h located at:
/Instagram/Pods/Backendless/SDK/ios/backendless/include

Mark

Mark,

Thanks for the reply. I find it odd that the project it using 3.0.43. I updated the pod and it mentions it’s running 3.0.44. The screen shot is below.

This is strange. The latest code in github has the files which XCode complains about:

Also, I followed the instructions from this guide to create a new project/workspace and everything is compiles without a problem:
