In your project build setting, under "framework search paths" mention the path of the framework.

This will resolve your issue.

(In Finder)

Go to the folder where your custom framework is. copy the framework. Now go to your project's folder. Create a new folder called Frameworks, paste the custom framework inside this folder.

(In Xcode)

Drag the custom folder FROM finder to the Frameworks folder on the project explorer (where all the rest of the frameworks are)

Now select your project, go to Build Settings, scroll down to "Framework Search Paths" field, double click the value to open it, press the + to add a new path, write ./Frameworks as the new path.

From now on if you want to add other private/custom frameworks all you have to do is copy them into the created frameworks folder, and simply drag and drop it into the xcode frameworks folder. (You must drag it from the project framework folder in finder to the framework folder in xcode).

PD: You don't necessarily have to name this folder frameworks, it can be whatever, just make sure to change the Framework Search Paths accordingly.
