XCode 12: 'SessionDelegate' has different definitions in different modules

Edit: This problem occurs after XCode 12 Beta5. Xcode doesn't allow different modules to define same names (Probably for public classes & protocols). Alamofire and Kingfisher appears to define SessionDelegate at the same time. I'm still trying to find a solution..

I'm implementing iOS 14 Widgets in our application. I have started working with XCode 12 Beta 2 and everthing was compiling fine. When I have updated XCode to XCode 12 Beta 6, I faced with following error:

'SessionDelegate' has different definitions in different modules; first difference is definition in module 'Kingfisher.Swift' found end of class

I'm also attaching the screenshot of the file with error.

enter image description here

Is there any way to edit header files to have different names for SessionDelegate for Alamofire or Kingfisher? Is there any workaround to overcome this issue?

Here are things I have tried so far:

I too had the same issue, sam's solution worked for me but with one change. There are 2 pods with the same definition so i changed the value of SWIFT_INSTALL_OBJC_HEADER to NO for both the pods. After doing it i was getting import error in one of the pod. So then i changed SWIFT_INSTALL_OBJC_HEADER to YES for that particular pod which was having the import error and kept the other pods SWIFT_INSTALL_OBJC_HEADER to NO. This worked for me.

This pod was giving import error

for me worked when I update the 'SWIFT_INSTALL_OBJC_HEADER' key in podfile

post_install do |installer|             
 installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| 
   target.build_configurations.each do |config|                          
     if target.name == 'Alamofire'         
         target.build_configurations.each do |config|  
           config.build_settings['SWIFT_INSTALL_OBJC_HEADER'] = 'No'                 
           end                                                        
         end                                                          
       end                                                            
     end                                                              
   end

At this moment (Xcode 12.0 or Xcode 12.2b2), the only possible solution is to rename the Objective-C interface and avoid conflicts. This could be done by one of:

  • Rename conflicting class entirely, update all places where it's used (e.g. replace SessionDelegate by KingfisherSessionDelegate)
  • Add @objc(...) attribute to a Swift class, which will update the Obj-C interface in a generated ...-Swift.h file and avoid the names conflict.
//  SessionDelegate.swift
@objc(KFSessionDelegate)
class SessionDelegate: NSObject { ... }

//  Kingfisher-Swift.h
@interface KFSessionDelegate : NSObject
...
@end

This solution is already included in the Kingfisher 5.15.4 release and could be applied to any other libraries and your own frameworks.

Also, the thread on Apple forums: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/658012

You can try SWIFT_INSTALL_OBJC_HEADER = NO, it works for me

If you guys need a temporary solution, here is how for Cocoapods users:

  1. Clone the Kingfisher library to the same folder level with your project. You can get it from Github

  2. Open Kingfisher.xcworkspace in XCode and rename SessionDelegate.swift file under Sources/Netowking to KingFisherSessionDelegate and change the class name as well accordingly.

  3. Rename the usages of SessionDelegate to KingfisherSessionDelegate which is only available in Sources/Networking/ImageDownloader.swift as of Kingfisher version 5.15.0

  4. Add local path in your Podfile

    pod 'Kingfisher', :path => '../Kingfisher'

The error is saying that you have multiple classes with the same name SessionDelegate in different modules. This error is related to Xcode 12.

For now, a quick solution is to install the module with CocoaPods (if you're using Carthage) and if needed, rename the SessionDelegate interface.
