Could not build module 'UIKit" in cocoapods since Xcode 5.1

I cannot build my application anymore since I updated Xcode to the new version (Xcode 5.1). the error message is 'Could not build module 'UIKit''. I have the same problems with my two pods: AFNetworking SDWebImage

Any thought on this?

I think I had both a copy of iphone-private-frameworks which collided with the standard headers, so changing the order in the build settings seems to be OK now.

In my case it was Could not build module Twitter Kit. In link Binary with libraries some framework reference were showing as red. Deleting and re adding them worked for me.

After trying all of the above to no avail, I finally reinstalled XCode which did the trick.

Go to your DerivedData directory and remove ModuleCache directory.

In terminal:

cd /Users/<account_name>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
rm -rf ModuleCache/

then reinstall pods: pod install.

If it doesn't help try removing whole DerivedData directory and reinstall pods.

I met the similar problem. The only difference is that my error is "Could not build module SpriteKit".

I finally solved the problem by deleting all files inside the ModuleCache folder: /Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache Then I build and met errors to prompt me to clean build. I clean the project and rebuild and everything is fine.

I think the cause is that I once played Xcode 6, and it has new modules which missing some architectures (in my case, it is armv7). These new modules pollute the module cache.

Issue looks like it has to do with deployment - going through both the project, pod project, and individual pods to make sure all were set the same was the issue. a bit of a necro, but this is the right answer.

I solved the issue by deleting and adding UIKit.framework in Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries.

So, I also encountered this problem, and discovered the problem was that my Podfile's minimum iOS version was 6.1 while my project's minimum iOS Version was 6.0. Getting these two values aligned resolved the issue.

I have the same problem. I solved this by going to XCode -> Preferences ... -> Download

enter image description here

I have iOS 6.1 and 7.0 simulators.

In the project go to Build Settings -> Deployment and then in iOS Deployment Target section make sure the right iOS simulator version is selected. In my case I chose iOS 7.0
