For some  this could be as easy as setting the system path for dynamic libraries   On OS X  this is as simple as setting the DYLD LIBRARY PATH environment variable   See    Is it OK to use DYLD LIBRARY PATH on Mac OS X  And  what  39 s the dynamic library search algorithm with it

If you re using Xcode 11 onwards   Go to General tab and add the framework in Frameworks  Libraries  and Embedded Content section   Important  By default it might be marked as Do Not Embed  change it to Embed Without Signing like shown in the image and you are good to go     For Xcode versions below 11   Just add the framework in Embedded Binaries section and you are done   Cheers

For my framework I was using an Xcode subproject added as a git submodule   I believe I was getting this error because I was signing the framework with a different signing Team than my main app   switched teams for app  forgot to switch for framework   Solution is to not sign within the framework project  Instead  in the main app s Target  gt  General  gt  Frameworks  Libraries  and Embedded Content section  sign the framework via Embed  amp  Sign   If I select Do not Embed or Embed Without Signing I instead get the error      FRAMEWORK not valid for use in process using Library Validation  mapped file has no cdhash  completely unsigned  Code has to be at least ad-hoc signed

Xcode 11 1  amp  Swift 5 1  Quick Fix  First make sure that external added library has option embed is selected in General Tab  Embbed Binaries    If still not works    This happens because you have different  unmatched versions of libraries present    Update the Pods  pod update   Important  Check all libraries are included in the Build Settings -  libraries and frameworks list and you have given option to embbed in the build  Just working awesome

For anyone coming to this page because they got this error trying to link a third party framework to their project using Xcode 6 3 1  the problem I ran into was because the library was being created with an older version of the compiler using a different version of swift   The only way to fix this for me was to re-build the framework   Another reason you might get this is stated in an Apple technical doc       If you are building an app that does not use Swift but embeds content such as a framework that does  Xcode will not include these libraries in your app  As a result  your app will crash upon launching with an error message looking as follows    set the Embedded Content Contains Swift Code  EMBEDDED CONTENT CONTAINS SWIFT  build setting to YES in your app  Here is the link to the full Apple doc that explains it here

Now that Xcode has upgraded their IDE  they have changed a little bit how this functions   It used to be split up into separate section as demonstrated above with  Embedded Binaries  and  Linked Frameworks and Libraries  as separate sections   Now  it is one combined section with drop-downs on the right as to what should be embedded     This was confusing to me at first  but makes perfect sense now
