Alamofire RED in Xcode project - Alamofire.framework missing

Question

I am trying to install Alamofire in my Xcode project. However, after completing all the installation steps specified in the github project documentation, the Alamofire.framework file appears as red in Xcode and the project will not be created. Also, there seems to be no way to fix this, because the Alamofire.framework file does not exist in the github package.

More detailed explanation:

Following the instructions for installing github for manual installation, everything will be fine until the last step: “Click the + button in the upper left corner of the panel and select“ New phase of copy files. ”Rename this new stage to“ Copy frames ”, set“ Destination ” "Frames" and add Alamofire.framework. "

Since we already included the project, when we move on to adding a new structure, Alamofire DOES are displayed in the list of available things to add. However, when we add it, it is displayed in red. As we know, this means that the path is incorrect with respect to the SDK. Ok, ok ... but when we go to fix the path, looking at the Alamofire directory that we put in our project directory, there are a lot of files, and none of them are "Alamofire".

I know that I downloaded the package correctly. I installed git as a submodule, I deleted it to try again, I downloaded the zip from github, repeated again, etc. Even for this tutorial ( http://www.raywenderlich.com/85080/beginning-alamofire-tutorial ), if you look at the photos for this step, we will see that there is no frame file in the directory!

So, Xcode requires a path to a .framework file that does not exist ... but we were able to somehow add a structure. Forgive me if I'm embarrassed.

There are many questions about problems installing Alamofire, but I think there should be something like noobs like me. One poster, here ( Alamofire framework not found ), asks something like that, but it looks like her question was misunderstood (she did not accept any answers). I notice "This is red then!" the disappointment that appeared in many comments on posts related to installing Alamofire - the answer here will really help to understand this.

I had the same problem as yours, however I found this question , which is why I created the project, although everything was red. To my surprise, it ended up being actually successfully built, and subsequently I was able to import Alamofire into my Swift files.

I tried to build earlier unsuccessfully, however, between the assemblies I really changed one thing. I moved the Alamofire-master folder to the first level of my application file structure before including the .xcodeproj file in Project Navigator, as indicated in the manual that you linked. At first, I just moved it from place to download folder.

The whole part of the copy framework seemed to me invalid because, as a result, the built-in framework automatically inserted the built-in frameworks instead.
